Book Old Man Coyote  Crow

    Book Details:
  • Author : Frank Bird Linderman
  • Publisher : Bison Books
  • Release : 1996
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 272 pages

Download or read book Old Man Coyote Crow written by Frank Bird Linderman and published by Bison Books. This book was released on 1996 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trickster and transformer, powerful and vulnerable, Coyote is a complex figure in Indian legend. He was often the ultimate example of how not to be: foolish, proud, self-important. The tales in Old Man Coyote were told by the Crow Indians of present-day southeastern Montana. During long winter evenings by the lodge fire, they enjoyed hearing about the only warrior ever to visit the Bird Country, the Little-people who adopted a lost boy, the two-faced tribe that gambled for keeps, the marriage of Worm-face, and the origin of the buffalo. Wandering through these well-spun tales is the irrepressible Old Man Coyote, sometimes scoring a coup, sometimes getting his comeuppance. Ohio-born Frank B. Linderman (1869-1938) spent his adult life in Montana, first as a trapper, then as a publisher, politician, and businessman. Fred W. Voget is an adjunct professor of anthropology at Portland State University and the author of The Shoshoni-Crow Sun Dance.

Book The Woman Who Loved Mankind

Download or read book The Woman Who Loved Mankind written by Lillian Bullshows Hogan and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The oldest living Crow at the dawn of the twenty-first century, Lillian Bullshows Hogan (1905–2003) grew up on the Crow reservation in rural Montana. In The Woman Who Loved Mankind she enthralls readers with her own long and remarkable life and the stories of her parents, part of the last generation of Crow born to nomadic ways. As a child Hogan had a miniature teepee, a fast horse, and a medicine necklace of green beads; she learned traditional arts and food gathering from her mother and experienced the bitterness of Indian boarding school. She grew up to be a complex, hard-working Native woman who drove a car, maintained a bank account, and read the local English paper but spoke Crow as her first language, practiced beadwork, tanned hides, honored clan relatives in generous giveaways, and often visited the last of the old chiefs and berdaches with her family. She married in the traditional Crow way and was a proud member of the Tobacco and Sacred Pipe societies but was also a devoted Christian who helped establish the Church of God on her reservation. Warm, funny, heartbreaking, and filled with information on Crow life, Hogan’s story was told to her daughter, Mardell Hogan Plainfeather, and to Barbara Loeb, a scholar and longtime friend of the family who recorded her words, staying true to Hogan’s expressive speaking rhythms with its echoes of traditional Crow storytelling.

With eyewitness testimony from those that lived through the hardships and the joys of Crow life from the past. It contains Crow historical reference recommendations, as well as illustrations so descendants can see their bloodlines and not just read about them.These volumes are for anyone interested in Native history and wanting to be able to learn about the Crow culture, the nature of a people willing to fight to survive while never forgetting their past and who they were, to the present always considering their generations.There's also a challenging look at where Custer possibly fell during the Battle of the Little Bighorn and having been argued over and over again by so many different sources; from the old-time big screen, T.V., newspapers, magazine articles, military accounts, historians and politicians from one-hundred forty-eight years ago (1876); and with a rare statement from an eyewitness account coming from one Crow grandmother whose husband was a scout for Custer. He took her to the battlefield and showed her where Custer fell. Adding to the legend, but also stating from another reference as to what stage of the battle he fell, with whom and more.? The myth (mystery) continues. This two-book series transcribed from National Archival records containing throughout most of the census each individual's Crow Indian name, English name, sex, relationship and age, all from the Crow Agency, Montana.There are over 14,000 names given in the index. Also within the confines of the illustrations you will find a photograph that's 103 years old of Plenty Coups surrounded by World War I dignitaries while attending the interment of the Unknown Soldier in 1921.

Book Memoirs of a White Crow Indian  Thomas H  Leforge

Download or read book Memoirs of a White Crow Indian Thomas H Leforge written by Thomas H. Leforge and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1974-01-01 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas H. Leforge was "born an Ohio American" and chose to "die a Crow Indian American." His association with his adopted tribe spanned some of the most eventful years of its history--from the Indian Wars to the reservation period?and as interpreter, agency employee, chief of Crow scouts for the 1876 campaign (he was with Terry at the Little Big Horn), bona fide Crow "wolf," and husband of a Crow woman, he was usually in the midst of the action. His story, first published in 1928, remains a remarkably accurate source of historical and ethnological information on this relatively little known tribe.
