Download or read book Famous Indian Chiefs I Have Known written by Oliver Otis Howard and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1983-01-01 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant sent O.O. Howard, widely known as the "Christian general", as an ambassador of peace to the western Indian tribes. Famous Indians Chiefs I Have Known is Howard's account of his journey. He tells of his peace agreement with the great Apache chief Cochise; describes his pursuit of Joseph and the surrender of the Nez Perce chief, who became his friend; and provides a poignant glimpse of the defeated Apache war leader Geronimo, selling canes and autographs. Equally impressive are his portraits of Winnemucca of the Piutes, the Sioux chiefs Red Cloud and Sitting Bull, and his descriptions of meetings with Washakie of the Shoshones, Pasqual of the Yumas, Antonio of the Pimas, Santos and Pedros of the Apaches, Manuelito of the Navajos, three Indians women--Sarah Winnemucca, granddaughter of the Piute chief, and Mattie, her sister-in-law?both of them powerful peacemakes in their own right. Included are chapters on the Seminole chief Osceola and the Modoc chief Captain Jack, famed for their resistance to white domination. In the introduction, Bruce J. Dinges, editor of publications at the Arizona Historical Society, discusses Howard's career and sets his book in historical context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reported population of American Indians and Alaska Natives has grown rapidly over the past 20 years. These changes raise questions for the Indian Health Service and other agencies responsible for serving the American Indian population. How big is the population? What are its health care and insurance needs? This volume presents an up-to-date summary of what is known about the demography of American Indian and Alaska Native population--their age and geographic distributions, household structure, employment, and disability and disease patterns. This information is critical for health care planners who must determine the eligible population for Indian health services and the costs of providing them. The volume will also be of interest to researchers and policymakers concerned about the future characteristics and needs of the American Indian population.
Download or read book History of the Indian Tribes of North America with Biographical Sketches and Anecdotes of the Principal Chiefs Embellished with One Hundred and Twenty Portraits from the Indian Gallery in the Department of War at Washington written by Thomas Loraine McKenney and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both authors ... saw their book as a way of preserving an accurate visual record of a rapidly disappearing culture. The text, which was written by Hall based on information supplied by McKenney, takes the form of a series of biographies of leading figures amongst the Indian nations, followed by a general history of the North American Indians. The work is now famous for its color plate portraits of the chiefs, warriors and squaws of the various tribes, faithful copies of original oils by Charles Bird King painted from life in his studio in Washington (McKenney commissioned him to record the visiting Indian delegates) or worked up by King from the watercolors of the young frontier artist, James Otto Lewis. All but four of the original paintings were destroyed in the disastrous Smithsonian fire of 1865, so their appearance in this work preserves what is probably the best likeness of many of the most prominent Indian leaders of the early 19th century. -- Reese.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "More than forty years after the original publication of The American Indian in North Carolina, interest remains high in Douglas L. Rights's history of the relationship between two civilizations that traded, fought, and finally found an uneasy peace. The book begins with a chronological account of the dealings between Indians and Europeans--De Soto's probable contact with North Carolina tribes, the famous story of the Lost Colony, The Tuscarora War, the removal of the Cherokee. Excerpts from the journals of such men as John Lederer, John Lawson, and William Byrd lend the perspective of the explorers. Succeeding chapters provide the history of the various Indian tribes, including their relationships with neighboring tribes, their wars with settlers, and their reduced status after the white man's treaties. Discussion of Indian customs and folklore and a presentation of famous Indian leaders round out a well-balanced portrait of the meeting of two diverse civilizations in the state of North Carolina."--Provided by publisher.

This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes pictures of important people, places, and art. *Includes a Bibliography for further reading. "Sometimes I go about in pity for myself, and all the while, a great wind carries me across the sky." - Chippewa proverb From the "Trail of Tears" to Wounded Knee and Little Bighorn, the narrative of American history is incomplete without the inclusion of the Native Americans that lived on the continent before European settlers arrived in the 16th and 17th centuries. Since the first contact between natives and settlers, tribes like the Sioux, Cherokee, and Navajo have both fascinated and perplexed outsiders with their history, language, and culture. In Charles River Editors' Native American Tribes series, readers can get caught up to speed on the history and culture of North America's most famous native tribes in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. Outside of the Midwest, the Chippewa are not as well-known as other Native American tribes like the Sioux or Cherokee, but they have long been one of the biggest groups in all of North America. Not surprisingly, their presence around the Great Lakes region made them especially important to early European explorers who sailed the St. Lawrence and came into contact with the natives as they continued searching for the Northwest Passage. The French in particular conducted substantial fur trading with the Chippewa, and it is thanks to the European explorers that the various groups have all been identified as Chippewa today. Unlike other Plains peoples and tribes scattered throughout North America, the Chippewa fared relatively well after contact was established with European and American settlers. They had been enemies of the Iroquois before and during European colonization of North America, and then engaged in different political alliances with the French and British as their interests dictated. Eventually, they engaged in violent conflicts over land with the growing United States as well, and the pattern of treaties and war inevitably pushed many of the Chippewa off the lands they had resided on for centuries. Nevertheless, many different groups of Chippewa continue to inhabit large swaths of the United States and Canada today. Native American Tribes: The History and Culture of the Chippewa comprehensively covers the culture and history of the famous tribe, profiling their origins, their famous leaders, and their lasting legacy. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Chippewa like you never have before, in no time at all.
