Book excerpt: Alvin Josephy Jr.’s groundbreaking, popular books and essays advocated for a fair and true historical assessment of Native Americans, and set the course for modern Native American studies. This collection, which includes magazine articles, speeches, a white paper, and introductions and chapters of books, gives a generous and reasoned view of five hundred years of Indian history in North America from first settlements in the East to the long trek of the Nez Perce Indians in the Northwest. The essays deal with the origins of still unresolved troubles with treaties and territories to fishing and land rights, and who should own archeological finds, as well as the ideologies that underpin our Indian policy. Taken together the pieces give a revelatory introduction to American Indian history, a history that continues both to fascinate and inform.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The U. P. Trail: A Novel Eep in the Wyoming hills lay a valley watered by a stream' that ran down from Cheyenne Pass; a band of Sioux Indians had an encampment there. Viewed from the summit of a grassy ridge, the scene was colorful and idle and quiet, in keeping With the lonely, beautiful valley. Cottonwoods and willows showed a bright green; the cause of the stream was marked in dark where the water ran, and light where the sand had bleached; brown and black dots scattered over the valley were in reality grazing horses; lodge-pole tents gleamed white in the sun, and tiny bits of red stood out against the white: lazy wreaths of blue smoke rose upward.

You'll love every step of it."The Cherokee author walks in reverse the 900 mile route of the Cherokee Trail of Tears to honor his ancestors and tell the world about their tragedy: In 1838, 7,000 US soldiers imprisoned 16,000 Indians in the Southeast and marched them to Indian Territory, present day Oklahoma, in the heart of winter. Many of the Cherokee were barefooted and 4,000 died along the Trail. They were buried in shallow unmarked graves.The author slept in fields, woods and kind strangers' homes to record their own thoughts and feelings about modern America and what happened to the Cherokee. The trek, one that proved deeply spiritual for the author, was life-altering. The book is interwoven with nuggets of crucial Cherokee history and myths.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from By Path and Trail The romance and weird fascination which belong to immense solitudes and untenanted wilds are fading away and, in a few years, will be as if they were not. The in tangible and the immaterial leave no memories after them. The march of civilization is a benediction for the future, but it is also a devastation before which savage nature and savage man must go down. Unable or unwilling to adapt himself to new conditions and to the demands of a life foreign to his nature and his experience original man of North America is doomed, like the wild beast he hunted, to extinction. For centuries he stubbornly contested the white man's right to invade and seize upon his hunting grounds; he was no coward and when compelled, at last, to strike a truce with his enemy, he felt that Fate was against him, yielded to the inevitable and - all was over. In the Bacatete mountains, amid the terrifying solitudes of the Sierras of Northern Mexico, the Yaquis - last of the fighting tribes - is disappearing in a lake of blood and when he is submerged the last dread war-whoop will shriek his requiem. It will never again be heard upon the earth. The lonely regions of our great continent, over which there brooded for unnumbered ages the silence which was before creation, are disappearing with the vanishing Indian; a new vegetable and a new animal life are sup planting the old now on the road to obliteration. The ruin is pathetic, but inevitable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The New Trail of Tears by : Naomi Schaefer Riley
Download or read book The New Trail of Tears written by Naomi Schaefer Riley and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want to know why American Indians have the highest rates of poverty of any racial group, why suicide is the leading cause of death among Indian men, why native women are two and a half times more likely to be raped than the national average and why gang violence affects American Indian youth more than any other group, do not look to history. There is no doubt that white settlers devastated Indian communities in the 19th, and early 20th centuries. But it is our policies today—denying Indians ownership of their land, refusing them access to the free market and failing to provide the police and legal protections due to them as American citizens—that have turned reservations into small third-world countries in the middle of the richest and freest nation on earth. The tragedy of our Indian policies demands reexamination immediately—not only because they make the lives of millions of American citizens harder and more dangerous—but also because they represent a microcosm of everything that has gone wrong with modern liberalism. They are the result of decades of politicians and bureaucrats showering a victimized people with money and cultural sensitivity instead of what they truly need—the education, the legal protections and the autonomy to improve their own situation. If we are really ready to have a conversation about American Indians, it is time to stop bickering about the names of football teams and institute real reforms that will bring to an end this ongoing national shame.
Book Synopsis An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States (10th Anniversary Edition) by : Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz
Download or read book An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States (10th Anniversary Edition) written by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller Now part of the HBO docuseries "Exterminate All the Brutes," written and directed by Raoul Peck Recipient of the American Book Award The first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoples Today in the United States, there are more than five hundred federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen million Native people who once inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire. With growing support for movements such as the campaign to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States is an essential resource providing historical threads that are crucial for understanding the present. In An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military. Shockingly, as the genocidal policy reached its zenith under President Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was best articulated by US Army general Thomas S. Jesup, who, in 1836, wrote of the Seminoles: “The country can be rid of them only by exterminating them.” Spanning more than four hundred years, this classic bottom-up peoples’ history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative. An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is a 2015 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature.
Book Synopsis The Search for an American Indian Identity by : Hazel Hertzberg
Download or read book The Search for an American Indian Identity written by Hazel Hertzberg and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1981-10-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Indian national movements, asserting a common Indian interest and identity as distinct from tribal interests and identities, have been a significant part of the American experience throughout most of this century, but one virtually unknown even to historians. Here for the first time Pan-Indian movements are examined comprehensively and comparatively. The opening chapter provides the historical background for the development of modern Pan-Indianism. The first major Pan-Indian reform organization, the Society of American Indians (SAI), was founded in 1911. Led by middle-class, educated Indians. The SAI adapted many of the reform ideas of the Progressive Era to Indian purposes. The SAI rejected the old dream of restoring tribal cultures and worked instead for an Indian future identified with the broader American society, to be realized through education and legislation. During the twenties, the SAI declined and the direction of Pan-Indian efforts shifted. Pan-Indian fraternal movements arose that were more in keeping with the spirit of the times than was reformism. Based in towns and cities, the fraternal orders and social clubs provided a means for urban Indians to retain or regain an Indian identity. In the meantime, an Indian religious movement, the peyote cult, spread far beyond its Oklahoma heartland, gaining Indian adherents in many parts of the country. Abandoning the messianic hopes of earlier Pan-Indian religions, the peyote cult developed as a religion of accommodation, a blending of elements from many tribes and from Christianity as well. In 1918 Oklahoma peyotists incorporated the first Native American Church as a defense against a campaign to outlaw the use of peyote by Indians. During the succeeding decade churches were organized in other states. The Indian New Deal, which radically changed governmental policy, provided a new context for Pan-Indianism. The author examines briefly developments since 1934. Her concluding chapter places the various Pan-Indian movements in historical perspective. The research for this study included extensive use of a wide variety of primary sources—journals published by 1he Indian groups, collections of documents and letters, governmental records, and interviews with Indians, anthropologists, and government officials.
