Book excerpt: Letter, dated March 10, 1873 on the Ponca Indian Reservation, written by a man identified only as "Tom", formerly of Omaha, Neb., to his brother & sister, possibly living in England. The letter describes the Ponca Indian Reservation as a "wild wilderness of a place, situated on a low piece of table land on the upper Missouri River in Dacotah Terrotory. The River runs through it, and the mountains on each side, & to all appearances, all round it." The writer, who left home in Omaha on Feb. 10th or 11th, 1873, is one of 12 whites on the reservation, living with 740 Indians, who subsist on supplies of pork, flour, coffee, sugar and salt, issued to them by the U.S. Government. Although there is a missionary who preaches to them in their language, and "3 mission ladies" who try to teach the Indians to sew, the Indians remain "perfectly wild." Many of them die of scrofula, and the writer has helped to make several coffins since he arrived. He describes the funeral and burial customs of the Indians, and notes that some are laid to rest in trees. Male mourners show their grief by dancing, and crying at the teepe of the deceased, and cutting off pieces of their own flesh with their knives. Some Indians are buried along with their horses, and food and other possessions to help them on their journey to the happy hunting grounds. During burial ceremonies, a party of armed Poncas must guard the mourners from marauding tribes who frequently trespass onto the reservation, steal cattle, and scalp anybody they catch. There are no government soldiers on the reservation for protection. The writer does not explain why he is on the reservation--only that extreme cold weather, ice three-feet-thick on the river, and illness have hindered him. He expresses his unwillingness to bring his family to such a wild area, so far from civilization. He closes by mentioning his desire to return to England and visit with his brothers George, Henry, and Sam, and sisters Mary and Lizie, and urges them to write to him at his old address, "in care [of] H.L. Latey, Omaha, Nebraska". The letter is signed "Your brother Tom."

Book Synopsis The Omaha Language and the Omaha Way by : Mark Awakuni-Swetland
Download or read book The Omaha Language and the Omaha Way written by Mark Awakuni-Swetland and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2022-01-31 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published through the Recovering Languages and Literacies of the Americas initiative, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation The Omaha Language and the Omaha Way provides a comprehensive textbook for students, scholars, and laypersons to learn to speak and understand the language of the Omaha Nation. Mark Awakuni-Swetland, Vida Woodhull Stabler, Aubrey Streit Krug, Loren Frerichs, and Rory Larson have collaborated with elder speakers, including Alberta Grant Canby, Emmaline Walker Sanchez, Marcella Woodhull Cavou, and Donna Morris Parker, to write this book. The original and creative pedagogical method used in this textbook--teaching the Omaha language through Omaha culture--consists of a structured series of lesson plans. It is the result of a generous collaboration between the Department of Anthropology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the Umóⁿhoⁿ Language and Culture Center at Umóⁿhoⁿ Nation Public School in Macy, Nebraska. The method draws on the accumulated wisdom and knowledge of Awakuni-Swetland to illustrate the Omaha values of balance and integration. The contents are shaped into two parts, each of which complements the other--just as the Earth and Sky do. This textbook features an introduction by Awakuni-Swetland on the history and phonology of the Omaha language; lessons from the Umóⁿhoⁿ Language and Culture Center at Macy, with a writing system quick sheet; situation quick sheets; lessons on games; lessons on spring, summer, fall, and winter; an Omaha language resource list; and a glossary in the standard Macy orthography of the Omaha language. The textbook also includes cultural lessons in the language by Awakuni-Swetland and lessons from the Omaha language class at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The Omaha Language and the Omaha Way offers a linguistic foundation for tribal members, students, scholars, and laypersons, featuring Omaha community lessons, the standard Macy orthography, and UNL orthography all under one cover.
Book Synopsis Dictionary of the Ponca People by : Louis V. Headman
Download or read book Dictionary of the Ponca People written by Louis V. Headman and published by University of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published through the Recovering Languages and Literacies of the Americas initiative, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Dictionary of the Ponca People presents approximately five thousand words and definitions used by Ponca speakers from the late nineteenth century to the present. Until relatively recently, the Ponca language had been passed down solely as part of an oral tradition in which children learned the language at home by listening to their elders. Almost every family on the southern Ponca reservation in Oklahoma spoke the language fluently until the 1940s, when English began to replace the Ponca language as children entered government boarding schools and were forced to learn English. In response to demand, Ponca language classes are now being offered to children and adults as people seek to gain knowledge of this important link to tradition and culture. The approximately five thousand words in this volume encompass the main artery of the language heard and spoken by the parents and grandparents of the Ponca Council of Elders. Additional words are included, such as those related to modern devices and technology. This dictionary has been compiled at a time when the southern Poncas are initiating a new syntactic structure to the language, as few can speak a full sentence. This dictionary is not intended to recover a cultural period or practice but rather as a reference to the spoken language of the people.

Book Synopsis The Indian Reform Letters of Helen Hunt Jackson, 1879–1885 by : Helen Hunt Jackson
Download or read book The Indian Reform Letters of Helen Hunt Jackson, 1879–1885 written by Helen Hunt Jackson and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helen Hunt Jackson’s passionate crusade for Indian rights comes to life in this collection of more than 200 letters, most of which have never been published before. With Valerie Sherer Mathes’s helpful notes, the letters reveal the behind-the-scenes drama of Jackson’s involvement in Indian reform, which led her to write A Century of Dishonor and her protest novel, Ramona. Ralph Waldo Emerson described Jackson as the "greatest American woman poet." These stirring letters will intrigue anyone interested in Indian affairs, nineteenth-century women’s studies, or the social history of Victorian America, where Jackson made her mark despite the restrictions on women. Among her correspondents were Oliver Wendell Holmes, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Moncure D. Conway, Henry B. Whipple, Henry L. Dawes, Henry Teller, Carl Schurz, and of course, commissioners of Indian affairs and such prominent editors as Whitelaw Reid, Charles Dudley Warner, and Richard Watson Gilder. The letters are presented in sections on the Ponca and Mission Indian causes, allowing readers to focus on the time period and Indian group of choice.
