Book Synopsis Snowbird Cherokees by : Sharlotte Neely
Download or read book Snowbird Cherokees written by Sharlotte Neely and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first ethnographic study of Snowbird, North Carolina, a remote mountain community of Cherokees who are regarded as simultaneously the most traditional and the most adaptive members of the entire tribe. Through historical research, contemporary fieldwork, and situational analysis, Sharlotte Neely explains the Snowbird paradox and portrays the inhabitants' daily lives and culture. At the core of her study are detailed examinations of two expressions of Snowbird's cultural self-awareness--its ongoing struggle for fair political representation on the tribal council and its yearly Trail of Tears Singing, a gathering point for all North Carolina and Oklahoma Cherokees concerned with cultural conservation.

Book Synopsis Eastern Band Cherokee Women by : Virginia Moore Carney
Download or read book Eastern Band Cherokee Women written by Virginia Moore Carney and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, the voices of Eastern Band Cherokee women receive their proper due. A watershed event, this book unearths three centuries of previously unknown and largely ignored speeches, letters, and other writings from Eastern Band Cherokee women. Like other Native American tribes, the Cherokees endured numerous hardships at the hands of the United States government. As their heritage came under assault, so did their desire to keep their traditions. The Eastern Band Cherokees were no exception, and at the forefront of their struggle were their women. Eastern Band Cherokee Women analyzes how the women of the Eastern Band served as honored members of the tribe, occupying both positions of leadership and respect. Carney shows how in the early 1800s women leaders, such as Beloved Nancy Ward, battled to retain her people’s heritage and sovereignty. Other women, such as Catharine Brown, a mission school student, discovered the power of the written word and thereby made themselves heard just as eloquently. Carney traces the voices of these women through the twentieth century, describing how Cherokees such as Marie Junaluska and Joyce Dugan have preserved a culture threatened by an increasingly homogenous society. This book is a fitting testament to their contributions. Eastern Band Cherokee Women stands out by demonstrating the overwhelming importance of women to the preservation of the Eastern Band. From passionate speeches to articulately drafted personal letters, Carney helps readers explore the many nuances of these timeless voices.
Book Synopsis Cherokees of the Old South by : Henry Thompson Malone
Download or read book Cherokees of the Old South written by Henry Thompson Malone and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1956, this book traces the progress of the Cherokee people, beginning with their native social and political establishments, and gradually unfurling to include their assimilation into “white civilization.” Henry Thompson Malone deals mainly with the social developments of the Cherokees, analyzing the processes by which they became one of the most civilized Native American tribes. He discusses the work of missionaries, changes in social customs, government, education, language, and the bilingual newspaper The Cherokee Phoenix. The book explains how the Cherokees developed their own hybrid culture in the mountainous areas of the South by inevitably following in the white man's footsteps while simultaneously holding onto the influences of their ancestors.

Sites range from Moccasin Bend in Chattanooga, inhabited by Cherokees and earlier Indian cultures and considered one of the most important archaeological complexes within a United States city, to the Qualla Boundary, the home of the Eastern Cherokee reservation, where visitors can still experience the historic Cherokee culture. For each site, Rozema gives historical background, directions to the site, and the hours of operation and telephone numbers if the site is located within a park or museum area. The book also includes an overview of Cherokee history that sets the stage for the tours of the historic sites."--Back cover.
Book Synopsis The Cherokees and Christianity, 1794-1870 by : William G. McLoughlin
Download or read book The Cherokees and Christianity, 1794-1870 written by William G. McLoughlin and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Cherokees and Christianity, William G. McLoughlin examines how the process of religious acculturation worked within the Cherokee Nation during the nineteenth century. More concerned with Cherokee "Christianization" than Cherokee "civilization," these eleven essays cover the various stages of cultural confrontation with Christian imperialism. The first section of the book explores the reactions of the Cherokee to the inevitable clash between Christian missionaries and their own religious leaders, as well as their many and varied responses to slavery. In part two, McLoughlin explores the crucial problem of racism that divided the southern part of North America into red, white and black long before 1776 and considers the ways in which the Cherokees either adapted Christianity to their own needs or rejected it as inimical to their identity.
Book Synopsis Beyond the Cherokee Trail by : Lisa Cox Carter

Book excerpt: When Linden BIrchfield arrives in the Snowbird Cherokee community to organize the 180th commemoration of the Trail of Tears, she learns how a lack of forgiveness over one of the darkest chapters in America's history continues to poison hearts and minds. She runs head on--literally--into arrogant former army sniper Walker Crowe, a descendant of the Cherokee who evaded deportation by hiding in the rugged Snowbird Mountains. Walker believes no good can result from stirring up the animosity with the white Appalachian residents whose ancestors looted the tribal lands so long ago. As preparation for the event moves forward, it becomes obvious that someone is trying to derail the festival. Though still at odds over the commemoration, Linden and Walker unite against an enemy whose relentless hatred can be traced to the events of the Trail. Walker is called to resurrect his sniper abilities and thwart plans that endanger the modern-day inhabitants of tiny Cartridge Cover--and target the Christian woman who has captured his heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing around a common set of topics, Paredes and his colleagues survey American Indian communities still surviving in the southeastern United States some 450 years after first contact with Europeans. Despite concerted government efforts in the 19th and 20th centuries to remove them, dozens of communities that can be described as American Indian survive - from Virginia to Florida, from the Atlantic seaboard to the Louisiana bayous. Although many have been studied ethnographically over the past century, this volume is the first comprehensive, scholarly work providing co-ordinated descriptions of these southeastern Indian communities as they near the close of the 20th century.
