Book excerpt: The Yaqui Indians managed to avoid assimilation during the Spanish colonization of Mexico. Even when mining interests sought to wrest Yaqui labor from the control of the Jesuits who had organized Indian society into an agricultural system, the Yaqui themselves sought primarily to ensure their continuing existence as a people. More than a tale of Yaqui Indian resistance, Missionaries, Miners, and Indians documents the history of the Jesuit missions during a period of encroaching secularization. The Yaqui rebellion of 1740, analyzed here in detail, enabled the Yaqui to work for the mines without repudiating the missions; however, the erosion of the mission system ultimately led to the Jesuits' expulsion from New Spain in 1767, and through their own perseverance, the Yaqui were able to bring their culture intact into the nineteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the English Civil War of 1642 and the American Revolution, countless British missionaries announced their intention to "spread the gospel" among the native North American population. Despite the scope of their endeavors, they converted only a handful of American Indians to Christianity. Their attempts to secure moral and financial support at home proved much more successful. In The Poor Indians, Laura Stevens delves deeply into the language and ideology British missionaries used to gain support, and she examines their wider cultural significance. Invoking pity and compassion for "the poor Indian"—a purely fictional construct—British missionaries used the Black Legend of cruelties perpetrated by Spanish conquistadors to contrast their own projects with those of Catholic missionaries, whose methods were often brutal and deceitful. They also tapped into a remarkably effective means of swaying British Christians by connecting the latter's feelings of religious superiority with moral obligation. Describing mission work through metaphors of commerce, missionaries asked their readers in England to invest, financially and emotionally, in the cultivation of Indian souls. As they saved Indians from afar, supporters renewed their own faith, strengthened the empire against the corrosive effects of paganism, and invested in British Christianity with philanthropic fervor. The Poor Indians thus uncovers the importance of religious feeling and commercial metaphor in strengthening imperial identity and colonial ties, and it shows how missionary writings helped fashion British subjects who were self-consciously transatlantic and imperial because they were religious, sentimental, and actively charitable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From bookjacket: "The Reverend Taylor F. Ealy was a Presbyterian medical missionary--trained to preach, teach, and heal the sick. Sent from Pennsylvania with his tireless wife Mary and their two children, he arrived in Lincoln, New Mexico, in February 1878, just one day after the killing of John H. Tunstall had touched off the Lincoln Country War. Amid the violence and turmoil besetting the town, the Ealys tried to bring a sense of community by opening the first school and holding regularly scheduled religious services. Within six months, though, they fled the violence in Lincoln and took refuge with the U.S. Army. The Ealys were sent next to the pueblo of Zuni, a far more peaceful place, at least on the surface. While the Zuni people were friendly toward the missionaries, they recognized that the Ealys' work represented a threat to the pueblo's centuries-old culture. Another resident of the pueblo was Frank Cushing, who was there on assignment for the Bureau of Ethnology and became a sympathetic supporter of all that was traditional in Zuni life. The Ealys recorded their experiences and impressions of these demanding conditions in diary entries, letters to colleagues and relatives, and extensive recollections. The editor has formed a compelling narrative from these materials and has provided comprehensive notes and numerous photographs of the people and places mentioned. The result is a personal, day-to-day glimpse of the last, violent years of the frontier; an intimate appreciation of the reality of cultures in conflict; and a remarkable picture of perhaps the most important agent of Manifest Destiny--the Protestant missionary and his wife.".

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Indian Trail is an insightful and lively account by Christian missionary Egerton Ryerson Young of converting two Native American populations to Christianity. The author grew up amid the frontier culture popularly known as the 'Wild West'. The large population of Native American peoples were often in conflict with the incipient European settlers, while others - such as the Cree and Salteaux tribes - were more receptive to the wisdom and guidance of the white peoples. Although the language of this account is grounded in its time, the care and devotion which E. R. Young and his wife carried for the Indian tribes and peoples is beyond doubt. Much progress was made in teaching the Native Americans how to prepare nourishing food, and how to treat wounds and disease. Literacy rates rose dramatically, as the Bible and other texts were employed to tutor the peoples. Despite bringing all of this to the Cree and Salteaux tribes, Young cautions the reader against feeling an unqualified superiority. Having lived among the Indian peoples for years, their natural abilities in hunting, their deep capacity for spiritualism, and their and respect of the land all moved Egerton Young to deep respect for the Native American culture. Overall, we have in Young's account a sterling example of what a dedicated missionary with staying power could achieve in North America during the 19th century. The harsh realities of life are not shied from, and the customs of the tribal populations are detailed superbly.
Download or read book Monacans and Miners written by Samuel R. Cook and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monacans and Miners sheds new light on the indigenous and immigrant communities of southern Appalachia by comparing the political, economic, and social experiences of the Monacans, a historically significant Native American group in Amherst County, Virginia, with those of Scottish and Irish settlers who made their home in Wyoming County, West Virginia, in the late eighteenth century. The Monacans are the descendants of a powerful people who both fought and traded with the Powhatan Indians. As a tide of English settlers swept through Virginia and continued west, some Monacans took refuge in the Blue Ridge Mountains. For the next few centuries the Monacans, like some other Native American groups in the Southeast, were legally classified as black and not permitted to vote or hold office. Many were also forced into indentured servitude, laboring in apple orchards for large landowners. Recent decades have witnessed a dramatic resurgence of Monacan ethnic and political identity and independence. They have won legal recognition as a tribe, collaborated with local universities to document their history, and worked to create a tribal museum. Samuel R. Cook tells the story of the Monacans in a uniquely comparative way. Their changing fortunes and relationships with outsiders are juxtaposed with the experiences of Scottish and Irish settlers in rural Wyoming County, West Virginia, a region now dominated by the coal industry.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Missionary Explorers Among the American Indians A soldier of the Cross is not a mere phrase, as this book illustrates. There are few careers that demand more mili tant qualities than that of the missionary. If he takes his Bible in one hand he takes his life in the other, and must be prepared to maintain and defend it. If he strives to conquer he must also, like the soldier, submit, endure, suffer. Cold, hunger, fatigue, danger are part of his portion. Whether it is China in our day or the frontier in days past, he must be as ready for defence as to march on. Whatever vicissitudes that befall him, he must not surrender. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
