Book Synopsis The Real Rosebud by : Marjorie Weinberg
Download or read book The Real Rosebud written by Marjorie Weinberg and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Her great-grandfather was a famed Lakota warrior, her father a buffalo hunter, and Rosebud Yellow Robe hosted a CBS radio show in New York City. From buffalo hunting to the hub of twentieth-century urban life, this book chronicles the momentous changes in the life of a prominent Plains Indian family over three generations. At the center of the story is Rosebud (1907?92), whose personal recollections, family memoirs, letters, and stories form the basis of this book. Rosebud?s father, Chauncey Yellow Robe, was the son of a Lakota chief and had a traditional childhood until he was sent to the Carlisle Indian School, where he became an advocate for Indian education and citizenship. He was instrumental in planning the 1927 ceremony that brought his daughter into national prominence?an induction of Calvin Coolidge into the Lakota tribe, capped by Rosebud placing a feathered war bonnet on the president?s head. Marjorie Weinberg follows the young woman from Rapid City, South Dakota, to New York City, where she became a noted lecturer and teller of Indian tales (and where her broadcasting career brought her name to the attention of Orson Welles, who may indeed have used her name for his famous sled in Citizen Kane). Reflecting a lifelong interest and a friendship that provided Weinberg access to family archives and a rich reservoir of family oral tradition, The Real Rosebud offers an intimate picture of a century and a half of a remarkable Lakota family.
Book Synopsis Lakotas, Black Robes, and Holy Women by : Karl Markus Kreis
Download or read book Lakotas, Black Robes, and Holy Women written by Karl Markus Kreis and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lakotas, Black Robes, and Holy Women makes available in English a rare collection of eyewitness accounts by German Catholic missionaries among the Lakotas in the late nineteenth century. German missionaries played an important role in the early years of the St. Francis mission on the Rosebud Reservation, and the Holy Rosary mission on the Pine Ridge Reservation, both in South Dakota. Although the accounts reflect the dominant perspective and attitude of missionaries and white teachers in the period of assimilation policy, they also offer firsthand accounts of the Lakotas in the early reservation years by Jesuits who saw themselves as friends and defenders of the Indians against a government policy they considered inappropriate and harmful. During the watershed years of 1886–1900, the German missionaries witnessed and participated in key events in the history of the American West, including the Ghost Dance, the Wounded Knee massacre, the Drexel Mission fight, the repression of Lakota rituals, and the growing importance of Catholicism for many Lakotas. The volume also describes the role of women in the mission and the process of converting and schooling Lakotas.

Download or read book Witness written by Waggoner, Josephine and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 822 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¾–Josephine Waggonerês writings offer a unique perspective on the Lakota. Witness will become a widely referenced primary source. Emily Levine has meticulously examined all known collections of Waggonerês manuscripts, sometimes comparing handwritten drafts with multiple typed copies to preserve information in full. Levineês extensive notes are well chosen and informative. Witness will interest both specialist and popular audiences.”ãRaymond DeMallie, Chancellorsê Professor of Anthropology and American Indian Studies at Indiana University¾ During the 1920s and 1930s, Josephine Waggoner (1871_1943), a Lakota woman who had been educated at Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia, grew increasingly concerned that the history and culture of her people were being lost as elders died without passing along their knowledge. A skilled writer, Waggoner set out to record the lifeways of her people and correct much of the misinformation about them spread by white writers, journalists, and scholars of the day. To accomplish this task, she traveled to several Lakota and Dakota reservations to interview chiefs, elders, traditional tribal historians, and other tribal members, including women.¾¾ Published for the first time and augmented by extensive annotations, Witness offers a rare participantês perspective on nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Lakota and Dakota life. The first of Waggonerês two manuscripts presented here includes extraordinary firsthand and as-told-to historical stories by tribal members, such as accounts of life in the Powder River camps and at the agencies in the 1870s, the experiences of a mixed-blood HÏ?kpap?a girl at the first off-reservation boarding school, and descriptions of traditional beliefs. The second manuscript consists of Waggonerês sixty biographies of Lakota and Dakota chiefs and headmen based on eyewitness accounts and interviews with the men themselves. Together these singular manuscripts provide new and extensive information on the history, culture, and experiences of the Lakota and Dakota peoples.
Book Synopsis The Battle of the Greasy Grass/Little Bighorn by : Debra Buchholtz
Download or read book The Battle of the Greasy Grass/Little Bighorn written by Debra Buchholtz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June of 1876, the U.S. government’s plan to pressure the Lakota and Cheyenne people onto reservations came to a dramatic and violent end with a battle that would become enshrined in American memory. In the eyes of many Americans at the time, the Battle of Little Bighorn represented a symbolic struggle between the civilized and the savage. Known as the Battle of the Greasy Grass to the Lakota, the Battle of Little Bighorn to the people who suppressed them, and as Custer’s Last Stand in the annals of popular culture, the event continues to captivate students of American history. In The Battle of Little Bighorn, Debra Buchholtz narrates the history of the battle and critically examines the legacy it has left. Through government documents, newspaper articles, and eyewitness accounts, Buchholtz situates the material and symbolic impact of the battle at the time. Using popular film and cultural references, she investigates the ways in which the wake of the event continues to shape the way students understand indigenous peoples, the Wild West, and the history of America.
Book Synopsis This Land Is Your Land by : RD Moore
Download or read book This Land Is Your Land written by RD Moore and published by MMI Publishing. This book was released on 2023-06-10 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This land was made for you and me.” This is the emphatic refrain of Woody Guthrie’s iconic anthem, a profound rendering of one of our nation’s most sacred truths. Yet, for far too many and for far too long, this hasn’t felt like a land made for them, or one that even wants them. And that’s just not sustainable. This Land Is Your Land (TLIYL) is a telling of our social story through the lens of the American people, how we became who we are and who we're in the process of becoming. It’s about the systems we built, both generative and degenerative, from democracy and equality to slavery and social supremacy, and how everything about us is changing. Right this minute, we’re in the midst of the greatest sociological shift in U.S. history, one where, in every way we currently measure, we’ll soon be a post-majority nation. By 2045, incumbent majorities, from racial whiteness to Christianization to heteronormativity will all be downgraded to minority status. This “Time of Turmoil”, one where everything’s shifting, is why we’re experiencing so much unrest and instability, from rising poverty to increasingly caustic elections to diminishing human regard. But it's also why getting this right has never been more important or mattered more. A combination of personal vignettes and cultural analysis, TLIYL covers 300+ years of shared history, one that’s been shaped by nearly 550 million lives lived, and explores how, together, we move forward. It’s a story with three parts: Part One: How the American Race Construct (ARC) and other toxic frameworks impaired us; Part Two: How the Degenerative Cycle (DGC) and other predatory processes imperiled us (Part Two); and Part Three: How through personal practices like the Four Actions, each of us can help us become a society that embraces all of us. Today, we find ourselves in a bit of a tough place. But instead of an ending, this shift we’re undergoing might actually be a beginning – a chance to both make our founding dreams real and gift the future a future. And in doing so, we transform ourselves into a new land, one, as Woody sang, made for you and me.

Book Synopsis Nicholas Black Elk by : Michael F. Steltenkamp
Download or read book Nicholas Black Elk written by Michael F. Steltenkamp and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-11-13 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its publication in 1932, Black Elk Speaks has moved countless readers to appreciate the American Indian world that it described. John Neihardt’s popular narrative addressed the youth and early adulthood of Black Elk, an Oglala Sioux religious elder. Michael F. Steltenkamp now provides the first full interpretive biography of Black Elk, distilling in one volume what is known of this American Indian wisdom keeper whose life has helped guide others. Nicholas Black Elk: Medicine Man, Missionary, Mystic shows that the holy-man was not the dispirited traditionalist commonly depicted in literature, but a religious thinker whose outlook was positive and whose spirituality was not limited solely to traditional Lakota precepts. Combining in-depth biography with its cultural context, the author depicts a more complex Black Elk than has previously been known: a world traveler who participated in the Battle of the Little Bighorn yet lived through the beginning of the atomic age. Steltenkamp draws on published and unpublished material to examine closely the last fifty years of Black Elk’s life—the period often overlooked by those who write and think of him only as a nineteenth-century figure. In the process, the author details not just Black Elk’s life but also the creation of his life story by earlier writers, and its influence on the Indian revitalization movement of the late twentieth century. Nicholas Black Elk explores how a holy-man’s diverse life experiences led to his synthesis of Native and Christian religious practice. The first book to follow Black Elk’s lifelong spiritual journey—from medicine man to missionary and mystic—Steltenkamp’s work provides a much-needed corrective to previous interpretations of this special man’s life story. This biography will lead general readers and researchers alike to rediscover both the man and the rich cultural tradition of his people.
Book Synopsis The Last Stand by : Nathaniel Philbrick

Book excerpt: "An engrossing and tautly written account of a critical chapter in American history." --Los Angeles Times Nathaniel Philbrick, author of In the Hurricane's Eye, Pulitzer Prize finalist Mayflower, and Valiant Ambition, is a historian with a unique ability to bring history to life. The Last Stand is Philbrick's monumental reappraisal of the epochal clash at the Little Bighorn in 1876 that gave birth to the legend of Custer's Last Stand. Bringing a wealth of new information to his subject, as well as his characteristic literary flair, Philbrick details the collision between two American icons- George Armstrong Custer and Sitting Bull-that both parties wished to avoid, and brilliantly explains how the battle that ensued has been shaped and reshaped by national myth.
