Book Synopsis Wampum and the Origins of American Money by : Marc Shell
Download or read book Wampum and the Origins of American Money written by Marc Shell and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wampum has become a synonym for money, and it is widely assumed that it served the same purposes as money among the Native Algonquians even after coming into contact with European colonists' money. But to equate wampum with money only matches one slippery term with another, as money itself was quite ill-defined in North America for decades during its colonization. In this stimulating and intriguing book, Marc Shell illuminates the context in which wampum was used by describing how money circulated in the colonial period and the early history of the United States. Wampum itself, generally tubular beads made from clam or conch shells, was hardly a primitive version of a coin or dollar bill, as it represented to both Native Americans and colonial Europeans a unique medium through which language, art, culture, and even conflict were negotiated. With irrepressible wit and erudition, Shell interweaves wampum's multiform functions and reveals wampum's undeniable influence on the cultural, political, and economic foundations of North America. Published in Association with the American Numismatic Society, New York, New York."

Book excerpt: Literary critics frequently portray early Native American writers either as individuals caught between two worlds or as subjects who, even as they defied the colonial world, struggled to exist within it.

Book Synopsis Reading the Wampum by : Penelope Myrtle Kelsey
Download or read book Reading the Wampum written by Penelope Myrtle Kelsey and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2014-12-03 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the fourteenth century, Eastern Woodlands tribes have used delicate purple and white shells called "wampum" to form intricately woven belts. These wampum belts depict significant moments in the lives of the people who make up the tribes, portraying everything from weddings to treaties. Wampum belts can be used as a form of currency, but they are primarily used as a means to record significant oral narratives for future generations. In Reading the Wampum, Kelsey provides the first academic consideration of the ways in which these sacred belts are reinterpreted into current Haudenosaunee tradition. While Kelsey explores the aesthetic appeal of the belts, she also provides insightful analysis of how readings of wampum belts can change our understanding of specific treaty rights and land exchanges. Kelsey shows how contemporary Iroquois intellectuals and artists adapt and reconsider these traditional belts in new and innovative ways. Reading the Wampum conveys the vitality and continuance of wampum traditions in Iroquois art, literature, and community, suggesting that wampum narratives pervade and reappear in new guises with each new generation.
Download or read book Wampum Denied written by Sandy Antal and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1997 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This formative history takes a new look at a dramatic conflict-the war on the Detroit frontier in 1812-13. Powerful key players (Procter, Tecumseh and Brock), their disparate war aims, and the "all or nothing" character of the campaigns they waged still seem larger than life. Yet Sandy Antal's careful reconstruction of Native and national aspiration, vested colonial interest, and territorial aggression, reveals motives and expedients that were as often mundane as heroic. A Wampum Denied reassesses the much-maligned career of Henry Procter, commander of the British forces, traces the Canadian/British/Native side of the conflict (amid a literature dominated by the American view), and casts new light on an allied military strategy that very nearly succeeded, but when it failed, failed spectacularly.

Book excerpt: "From the Foreword, by Heather Majaury:I am prone to think that when Creator lowered Lynn to Mother Earth it was for herto complete this difficult task of bravery. Indeed we can all learn from her, as she hasfulfilled her responsibility.In commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the Treaty at Niagara, The Truththat Wampum Tells offers readers a first-ever insider analysis of the contemporaryland claims and self-government process in Canada. Incorporating an analysis oftraditional symbolic literacy known as wampum diplomacy, Lynn Gehl arguesthat despite Canada's constitutional beginnings first codified in the 1763 RoyalProclamation and ratified during the 1764 Treaty at Niagara, Canada continues todeny the Algonquin Anishinaabeg their right to land and resources, their right tolive as a sovereign nation, and consequently their ability to live mino-pimadiziwin(the good life).Gehl moves beyond Western scholarly approaches rooted in the historicalarchives, academic literature and the interview method. She also moves beyonddiscussions of Indigenous methodologies, offering an analysis through herdebwewin journey: a wholistic Anishinaabeg way of knowing that incorporatesboth mind knowledge"

Book Synopsis Mundo Del Wampum by : Barry F. Schnell
Download or read book Mundo Del Wampum written by Barry F. Schnell and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-10-14 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Actions speak louder than words. So the best description of this book would be to pick it up, crack it open, and start rolling one’s eyeballs across the words. Or, should one be a slave to technology, download it, and begin scrolling from the top down. With either method euphoria will be experienced in approximately 232 pages or an elapsed one hour and forty-five minutes, whichever comes first. This book is everything you want it to be, and more. It’s your faithful hound at your feet. It’s the lover who never leaves angry. It’s an elixir for eternal youth. You’ll have experienced some transformation along the way. It’s difficult to speculate, exactly, on what that transformation might be. It might not even be palpable for weeks after you’ve finished the book. In many ways, you could associate it with an STD. But who’s to say if that’s a positive or negative thing in this crazy old mixed martial arts throw down we call “life?” There, I’ve said it. If that doesn’t boil it down to simple, relatable facts, nothing more that I can spew out will. Now grasp it firmly and become one.
