Book Native American Speakers of the Eastern Woodlands

Download or read book Native American Speakers of the Eastern Woodlands written by Barbara Alice Mann and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-04-30 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays examines, in context, eastern Native American speeches, which are translated and reprinted in their entirety. Anthologies of Native American orators typically focus on the rhetoric of western speakers but overlook the contributions of Eastern speakers. The roles women played, both as speakers themselves and as creators of the speeches delivered by the men, are also commonly overlooked. Finally, most anthologies mine only English-language sources, ignoring the fraught records of the earliest Spanish conquistadors and French adventurers. This study fills all these gaps and also challenges the conventional assumption that Native thought had little or no impact on liberal perspectives and critiques of Europe. Essays are arranged so that the speeches progress chronologically to reveal the evolving assessments and responses to the European presence in North America, from the mid-sixteenth century to the twentieth century. Providing a discussion of the history, culture, and oratory of eastern Native Americans, this work will appeal to scholars of Native American history and of communications and rhetoric. Speeches represent the full range of the woodland east and are taken from primary sources.

Book Le Pays renvers    Am  rindiens et Europ  ens en Am  rique du Nord Est 1600 1664

Download or read book Le Pays renvers Am rindiens et Europ ens en Am rique du Nord Est 1600 1664 written by Denys Delâge and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative interdisciplinary study offers a comprehensive analysis of the French, Dutch and English colonization of northeastern North America during the early and middle decades of the seventeenth century. It is the first book to pay serious attention to the European economic and political factors which promoted colonization, and it argues that the prime determinant was the uneven development of agricultural systems in western Europe.

Book Children of Aataentsic

Download or read book Children of Aataentsic written by Bruce G. Trigger and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1988-09-01 with total page 952 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trigger's work integrates insights from archaeology, history, ethnology, linguistics, and geography. This wide knowledge allows him to show that, far from being a static prehistoric society quickly torn apart by European contact and the fur trade, almost every facet of Iroquoian culture had undergone significant change in the centuries preceding European contact. He argues convincingly that the European impact upon native cultures cannot be correctly assessed unless the nature and extent of precontact change is understood. His study not only stands Euro-American stereotypes and fictions on their heads, but forcefully and consistently interprets European and Indian actions, thoughts, and motives from the perspective of the Huron culture. The Children of Aataentsic revises widely accepted interpretations of Indian behaviour and challenges cherished myths about the actions of some celebrated Europeans during the "heroic age" of Canadian history. In a new preface, Trigger describes and evaluates contemporary controversies over the ethnohistory of eastern Canada.

Book Joutel s Journal of La Salle s Last Voyage  1684 7

Download or read book Joutel s Journal of La Salle s Last Voyage 1684 7 written by Henri Joutel and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henri Joutel's 'Joutel's Journal of La Salle's Last Voyage, 1684-7' provides readers with a firsthand account of the ill-fated final expedition of the famous French explorer Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle. Joutel's journal is filled with detailed observations of the people, places, and events encountered during the voyage, offering a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of exploration in the 17th century. Written in a straightforward and informative style, Joutel's journal provides a valuable primary source for historians and enthusiasts alike. The literary context of the book reveals insights into the hardships faced by early explorers and sheds light on the complexities of colonial expansion in North America. Henri Joutel, a trusted lieutenant of La Salle, was uniquely positioned to document the events of the voyage, making his account an important contribution to historical scholarship. His firsthand experiences and keen observations provide a rich and detailed narrative that captures the essence of exploration in the New World. I highly recommend 'Joutel's Journal of La Salle's Last Voyage, 1684-7' to anyone interested in early American history, exploration, and the human experience of discovery.

Book Ethnic Groups and Marital Choices

Download or read book Ethnic Groups and Marital Choices written by Madeline Kalbach and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using, for the first time, data from the 1871 Census of Canada in conjunction with data from the 1971 Census, Madeline Richard delineates the general patterns of ethnic intermarriage in 1871 and 1971 and specifically considers the trends for the English, Irish, Scotch, French, and Germans. Choosing a number of characteristics, such as level of literacy, nativity, age, and place of residence, for the husbands, the author determines the odds for their marrying outside their communities. She also examines the socio-demographic characteristics, such as group size, sex ratio, per cent urban, and level of literacy of each group to determine the marriage patterns of the husbands.

Book The Woman Who Married the Bear

Download or read book The Woman Who Married the Bear written by Barbara Alice Mann and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories of the primordial woman who married a bear, appear in matriarchal traditions across the global North from Indigenous North America and Scandinavia to Russia and Korea. In The Woman Who Married the Bear, authors Barbara Alice Mann, a scholar of Indigenous American culture, and Kaarina Kailo, who specializes in the cultures of Northern Europe, join forces to examine these Woman-Bear stories, their common elements, and their meanings in the context of matriarchal culture. The authors reach back 35,000 years to tease out different threads of Indigenous Woman-Bear traditions, using the lens of bear spirituality to uncover the ancient matriarchies found in rock art, caves, ceremonies, rituals, and traditions. Across cultures, in the earliest known traditions, women and bears are shown to collaborate through star configurations and winter cave-dwelling, symbolized by the spring awakening from hibernation followed by the birth of "cubs." By the Bronze Age, however, the story of the Woman-Bear marriage had changed: it had become a hunting tale, refocused on the male hunter. Throughout the book, Mann and Kailo offer interpretations of this earliest known Bear religion in both its original and its later forms. Together, they uncover the maternal cultural symbolism behind the bear marriage and the Original Instructions given by Bear to Woman on sustainable ecology and lifeways free of patriarchy and social stratification.

Book Global Crisis

    Book Details:
  • Author : Geoffrey Parker
  • Publisher : Yale University Press
  • Release : 2013-03-15
  • ISBN : 0300189192
  • Pages : 944 pages

Download or read book Global Crisis written by Geoffrey Parker and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 944 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed historian demonstrates a link between climate change and social unrest across the globe during the mid-17th century. Revolutions, droughts, famines, invasions, wars, regicides, government collapses—the calamities of the mid-seventeenth century were unprecedented in both frequency and severity. The effects of what historians call the "General Crisis" extended from England to Japan and from the Russian Empire to sub-Saharan Africa and the Americas. In this meticulously researched volume, historian Geoffrey Parker presents the firsthand testimony of men and women who experienced the many political, economic, and social crises that occurred between 1618 to the late 1680s. He also incorporates the scientific evidence of climate change during this period into the narrative, offering a strikingly new understanding of the General Crisis. Changes in weather patterns, especially longer winters and cooler and wetter summers, disrupted growing seasons and destroyed harvests. This in turn brought hunger, malnutrition, and disease; and as material conditions worsened, wars, rebellions, and revolutions rocked the world.

Book Gathering Places

    Book Details:
  • Author : Carolyn Podruchny
  • Publisher : UBC Press
  • Release : 2011-07-01
  • ISBN : 0774859695
  • Pages : 345 pages

Download or read book Gathering Places written by Carolyn Podruchny and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British traders and Ojibwe hunters. Cree women and their metis daughters. Explorers and anthropologists and Aboriginal guides and informants. These people, their relationships, and their complex identities were not featured in histories until the 1970s, when scholars from multiple disciplines brought new perspectives and approaches to bear on the past. Gathering Places presents some of the most innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to metis, fur trade, and First Nations history being practised today. Whether they are discussing dietary practices on the Plateau, the meanings of totemic signatures, or issues of representation in public history, the authors present novel explorations of evidence that extend beyond earlier histories centred on the archive. By drawing on archaeological, material, oral, and ethnographic evidence and by exploring personal approaches to history and scholarship, these essays mark a significant departure from the old paradigm of history writing and will serve as models for recovering Aboriginal and cross-cultural experiences and perspectives.

Book North America   s Indian Trade in European Commerce and Imagination  1580 1850

Download or read book North America s Indian Trade in European Commerce and Imagination 1580 1850 written by George Colpitts and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-11-29 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In North America's Indian Trade in European Commerce and Imagination, Colpitts offers new perspectives on Europe's contact with America by examining the ideas, debates and questions arising in the trading that linked newcomers with Native people. European capitalization of the Indian Trade, beginning in the 16th century, forced newcomers to confront the meaning and legitimacy of traditional gift economies and assess the vice and virtue of the commerce they pursued in the New World. Making use of French and English colonization texts, published narratives and state colonial papers, the author explores how European capital investments, credit, profits and commercial linkages elaborated and complicated understandings of North American people in the period of colonization.
