Download or read book American Indian Moses written by Timothy Dom Bucci and published by . This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Indian Moses: An essential and timely message for all Native Americans.A must read to understand their origin and, more importantly, their destiny.Timothy Dom Bucci, the author, was an ordained Evangelist in The Church of Jesus Christ (world headquarters in Monongahela, Pennsylvania). He was a zealous missionary and writer of pamphlets and articles. For over forty years he brought a special message to Native Americans in Oklahoma and various reservations in New York, Arizona, North Carolina and Ontario. He made many friends among the Native Americans and was a close friend of the late Chief Clinton Rickard of the Tuscarora Nation.In this book, Timothy confidently delivers his message that a Native American Indian will rise up among his own people in the near future to deliver them from spiritual bondage and social oppression. As Moses delivered his people thousands of years ago, so will this Native American. Timothy combines Biblical and Ancient American history to draw astonishing spiritual and cultural parallels between the ancient Israelites and the present-day Native American Indians including their common ancestry and destiny.From the PrefaceIn 1975 a small but mighty book was published. There were only several hundred copies printed at that time. Those close to the author of the book held on tightly to their copies since it was out of print before it could gain the audience it deserved. The book I am referring too is "American Indian Moses." We will backtrack for a moment to the late 1950's, would-be-author Timothy Dom Bucci is speaking to me of the great promises in God's plan for the Native Peoples of the America's. I distinctly remember him talking at great length concerning the divine origin of the Translated Ancient American Writings commonly known as the Book of Mormon. As I grew older his encouraging words and the example he set in his life as a disciple of Jesus Christ left a great impression on me. The culmination of his life dedicated to such a beautiful cause was brought forth in the initial printing of this book. But Timothy D. Bucci's calling as a messenger, to spread the news of the brilliant future of the indigenous peoples of the Americas, was brought to paper and ink in the form of "American Indian Moses." Almost thirty years after the first printing a newly updated version is now available to all lovers of truth who desire to understand one of God's great unalterable truths. Never in the history of the United States of America has there been a greater need for a concise composition concerning the future events, which we will be swept up into. Never has there been a greater need for the light of Truth to dispel the spiritual heavy darkness that surrounds both the Native American and the citizens of this nation. I have waited with great enthusiasm for the opportunity to share the information in this book with those who I believe will not only find merit in it, but comfort and hope as it looks to the great events of the near future for both American Indians and Israel. And if not at first then maybe through the workings of the Great Spirit its truth will be confirmed.Read this book thoughtfully and prayerfully because its topic is timely and relevant to each and every one of us and most importantly to the Native Peoples of North, Central and South America.

Download or read book Half Sun on the Columbia written by Robert H. Ruby and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Regional Award Chief Moses (Sulktalthscosum or Half-Sun) was chief of the Columbias, a Salish-speaking people of the mid Columbia River area in what is now the state of Washington. This award-winning biography by Robert Ruby and John Brown situates Moses in the opening of the Northwest and subsequent Indian-white relations, between 1850 and 1898. Early in life Moses had won a name for himself battling whites, but with the maturity and responsibilities of chieftainship, he became a diplomat and held his united tribe at peace in spite of growing white encroachment. He resisted the call to arms of his friend Chief Joseph of the Nez Percés, whose heroic campaign ended in defeat and exile to Indian Territory. Their friendship persisted, however, and after Joseph's return to the Northwest, the two lived out their lives on the reservation, sharing their frustrations and uniting their voices in complaint.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Se-Quo-Yah, the American Cadmus and Modern Moses Some years ago, the attention of the author was called to a brief but unsatisfactory item in a historical work to the "Cadmus" of America. A love of research finally induced me to collect from all possible sources the leading events of his life. In so doing the fact developed, that while many of our best scholars in the land are fully posted concerning the Cadmus of old, there are comparatively few who even know that an American Cadmus ever lived, and holds a high place among the great benefactors of mankind.

Book Muting White Noise

    Book Details:
  • Author : James H. Cox
  • Publisher : University of Oklahoma Press
  • Release : 2012-11-19
  • ISBN : 0806185465
  • Pages : 354 pages

Download or read book Muting White Noise written by James H. Cox and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-11-19 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native American fiction writers have confronted Euro-American narratives about Indians and the colonial world those narratives help create. These Native authors offer stories in which Indians remake this colonial world by resisting conquest and assimilation, sustaining their cultures and communities, and surviving. In Muting White Noise, James H. Cox considers how Native authors have liberated our imaginations from colonial narratives. Cox takes his title from Sherman Alexie, for whom the white noise of a television set represents the white mass-produced culture that mutes American Indian voices. Cox foregrounds the work of Native intellectuals in his readings of the American Indian novel tradition. He thereby develops a critical perspective from which to re-see the role played by the Euro-American novel tradition in justifying and enabling colonialism. By examining novels by Native authors—especially Thomas King, Gerald Vizenor, and Alexie—Cox shows how these writers challenge and revise colonizers’ tales about Indians. He then offers “red readings” of some revered Euro-American novels, including Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick, and shows that until quite recently, even those non-Native storytellers who sympathized with Indians could imagine only their vanishing by story’s end. Muting White Noise breaks new ground in literary criticism. It stands with Native authors in their struggle to reclaim their own narrative space and tell stories that empower and nurture, rather than undermine and erase, American Indians and their communities.

Book The American Indian Integration of Baseball

Download or read book The American Indian Integration of Baseball written by Jeffrey P. Powers-Beck and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many the entry of Jackie Robinson into Major League Baseball in 1947 marked the beginning of integration in professional baseball, but the entry of American Indians into the game during the previous half-century and the persistent racism directed toward them is not as well known. From the time that Louis Sockalexis stepped onto a Major League Baseball field in 1897, American Indians have had a presence in professional baseball. Unfortunately, it has not always been welcomed or respected, and Native athletes have faced racist stereotypes, foul epithets, and abuse from fans and players throughout their careers. The American Indian Integration of Baseball describes the experiences and contributions of American Indians as they courageously tried to make their place in America?s national game during the first half of the twentieth century. Jeffrey Powers-Beck provides biographical profiles of forgotten Native players such as Elijah Pinnance, George Johnson, Louis Leroy, and Moses Yellow Horse, along with profiles of better-known athletes such as Jim Thorpe, Charles Albert Bender, and John Tortes Meyers. Combining analysis of popular-press accounts with records from boarding schools for Native youth, where baseball was used as a tool of assimilation, Powers-Beck shows how American Indians battled discrimination and racism to integrate American baseball.

Book Native American Architecture

Download or read book Native American Architecture written by Peter Nabokov and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1990-10-25 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many people, Native American architecture calls to mind the wigwam, tipi, iglu, and pueblo. Yet the richly diverse building traditions of Native Americans encompass much more, including specific structures for sleeping, working, worshipping, meditating, playing, dancing, lounging, giving birth, decision-making, cleansing, storing and preparing food, caring for animals, and honoring the dead. In effect, the architecture covers all facets of Indian life. The collaboration between an architect and an anthropologist, Native American Architecture presents the first book-length, fully illustrated exploration of North American Indian architecture to appear in over a century. Peter Nabokov and Robert Easton together examine the building traditions of the major tribes in nine regional areas of the continent from the huge plank-house villages of the Northwest Coast to the moundbuilder towns and temples of the Southeast, to the Navajo hogans and adobe pueblos of the Southwest. Going beyond a traditional survey of buildings, the book offers a broad, clear view into the Native American world, revealing a new perspective on the interaction between their buildings and culture. Looking at Native American architecture as more than buildings, villages, and camps, Nabokov and Easton also focus on their use of space, their environment, their social mores, and their religious beliefs. Each chapter concludes with an account of traditional Indian building practices undergoing a revival or in danger today. The volume also includes a wealth of historical photographs and drawings (including sixteen pages of color illustrations), architectural renderings, and specially prepared interpretive diagrams which decode the sacred cosmology of the principal house types.
