Download or read book God's Red Son written by Louis S. Warren and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1890, on Indian reservations across the West, followers of a new religion danced in circles until they collapsed into trances. In an attempt to suppress this new faith, the US Army killed over two hundred Lakota Sioux at Wounded Knee Creek. Louis Warren's God's Red Son offers a startling new view of the religion known as the Ghost Dance, from its origins in the visions of a Northern Paiute named Wovoka to the tragedy in South Dakota. To this day, the Ghost Dance remains widely mischaracterized as a primitive and failed effort by Indian militants to resist American conquest and return to traditional ways. In fact, followers of the Ghost Dance sought to thrive in modern America by working for wages, farming the land, and educating their children, tenets that helped the religion endure for decades after Wounded Knee. God's Red Son powerfully reveals how Ghost Dance teachings helped Indians retain their identity and reshape the modern world.

Book excerpt: "The objective of the Walker River Subbasin Report is to contribute to comprehensive planning for the coordinated and orderly development, management, and use of water and related land resources of the subbasin. It is anticipated that the information presented in this report will: (1) identify the present and potential land and water problems and opportunities for solving them; (2) provide a basis for more effective coordination of U.S. Department of Agriculture resource programs with the related activities of each State and with other Federal agencies; (3) provide a sound basis for the development of water and related land resources by means of Public Law 566 projects for other programs; (4) indicate opportunities for development of water resources and the rehabilitation of depleted watersheds and rangelands of the national forest and public domain, as part of the multiple use programs for these Federal lands. This subbasin report includes: (1) an inventory of the natural resources; (2) an analysis of economic development; (3) a definition of the causes and extent of the resource problems; (4) an indication of present and future needs for resource development; (5) a short discussion of existing resource projects and programs; (6) a description of the resource development potential; (7) an indication of the opportunities for development under U.S. Department of Agriculture programs; and (8) suggested future programs and coordination needs among all groups and agencies. The natural resource inventory was supplemented by a detailed reconnaissance soil survey covering the subbasin. The results of the survey produced a broad but comprehensive summation of the subbasin's most basic resource, along with an interpretative tabulation of the hazards, limitations, and potentials for its use"--Page 1.
Download or read book Corbett Mack written by Michael Hittman and published by University of Nevada Press. This book was released on 2013-09-15 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corbett Mack (1892–1974), was a Northern Paiute of mixed ancestry, caught between Native American and white worlds. A generation before, his tribe had brought forth the prophet Wovoka, whose Ghost Dance swept the Indian world in the 1890s. Mack’s world was a harsh and bitter place after the last Native American uprisings had been brutally crushed; a life of servitude to white farmers and addiction to opium. Hittman uses Mack’s own words to retell his story, an uncompromising account of a traumatized life that typified his generation, yet nonetheless made meaningful through the perseverance of Paiute cultural traditions.
Book Synopsis Wovoka and the Ghost Dance by : Don Lynch
Download or read book Wovoka and the Ghost Dance written by Don Lynch and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The religious fervor known as the Ghost Dance movement was precipitated by the prophecies and teachings of a northern Paiute Indian named Wovoka (Jack Wilson). During a solar eclipse on New Year’s Day, 1889, Wovoka experienced a revelation that promised harmony, rebirth, and freedom for Native Americans through the repeated performance of the traditional Ghost Dance. In 1890 his message spread rapidly among tribes, developing an intensity that alarmed the federal government and ended in tragedy at Wounded Knee. While the Ghost Dance phenomenon is well known, never before has its founder received such full and authoritative treatment. Indispensable for understanding the prophet behind the messianic movement, Wovoka and the Ghost Dance addresses for the first time basic questions about his message and This expanded edition includes a new chapter and appendices covering sources on Wovoka discovered since the first edition, as well as a supplemental bibliography.
