Book Synopsis Joseph Brant and His World by : James Paxton
Download or read book Joseph Brant and His World written by James Paxton and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 2008-10-15 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Brant was a promising but undistinguished Mohawk warrior living in upper New York State. He became an innovative, influential leader and spokesperson for First Nations, whose support for Britain during the American Revolution led to their resettlement in Upper Canada along the Grand River. Their descendants live today on the large Six Nations Reserve alongside the Grand, south of Brantford in southwestern Ontario. This new, illustrated biography of Brant reflects recent research into the political, social and cultural background of his life. Author James Paxton rejects the interpretation of earlier biographers, who depicted Brant as a man who belonged neither to the "Indian" or the "white" world. Paxton shows that Brant was fully Mohawk, with Iroquoian values that stressed the interdependence of people. He stands as the product of a unique, multicultural 18th-century community in the Mohawk Valley, New York. Using skill and diplomacy and his dense network of relationships and alliances, Brant attempted to ensure the ongoing social, economic and political autonomy of the Six Nations in their new Canadian territory. The events of Brant's day impinge directly on our own. It would be hard to imagine the standoff at Caledonia had Brant not led the Six Nations to the Grand River area and then invited Loyalists to settle among them. Yet, in 1784, Mohawks and Loyalists envisioned a different sort of community, one bound by history, common interest and shared practices. At a time when First Nations' claims against the government promise to become more numerous and confrontational, this book encourages us to consider the inclusive and multicultural legacy of Joseph Brant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis que le programme de commémoration historique a été inauguré par le gouvernement de l’Ontario en 1956, plus de 1 000 plaques ont été érigées d’un bout à l’autre de la province. La variété des sujets commémorés est étonnante, qu’il s’agisse de ruées vers les mines du nord de l’Ontario ou de l’invention de la vis à tête creuse ... de Harold Innis ou de Stephen Leacock ... de l’épidemie de typhus de 1847 ou de la découverte de l’insuline. La culture populaire est également bien représentée: "Beautiful Joe" commémore un roman célêbre dans le monde entier racontant l’histoire d’un chien ; "When You and I Were Young, Maggie" chante une ballade romantique très en vogue ; "Jumbo" marque l’emplacement où est mort un éléphant de cirque très aimé. L’histoire de l’Ontario, tout comme sa géographie et ses habitants, est vaste et variée. Ce guide peut donc être utile, que l’on circule sur l’autoroute, se promène a la campagne ou flâne dans son propre quartier. Il reste encore tant à découvrir.
