Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living Our Cultures, Sharing Our Heritage: The First Peoples of Alaska features more than 200 objects representing the masterful artistry and design traditions of twenty Alaska Native peoples. Based on a collaborative exhibition created by Alaska Native communities, the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, and the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center, this richly illustrated volume celebrates both the long-awaited return of ancestral treasures to their native homeland and the diverse cultures in which they were created. Despite the North's transformation through globalizing change, the objects shown in these pages are interpretable within ongoing cultural frames, articulated in languges still spoken. They were made for a way of life on the land that is carried on today throughout Alaska. Dialogue with the region's First Peoples evokes past meanings but focuses equally on contemporary values, practices, and identities. Objects and narratives show how each Alaska Native nation is unique—and how all are connected. After introductions to the history of the land and its people, universal themes of “Sea, Land, Rivers,” “Family and Community,” and “Ceremony and Celebration” are explored referencing exquisite masks, parkas, beaded garments, basketry, weapons, and carvings that embody the diverse environments and practices of their makers. Accompanied by traditional stories and personal accounts by Alaska Native elders, artists, and scholars, each piece featured in Living Our Cultures, Sharing Our Heritage evokes both historical and contemporary meaning, and breathes the life of its people.

Download or read book Our Heritage written by Tsenay Serequeberhan and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2000 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compelling and engaging work, Tsenay Serequeberhan discusses recent attempts to define African philosophy and the practice of hermeneutics for articulating a philosophy that is distinctively African. Pressing into service insights derived from Marx, Nietzsche, Levinas, Fanon, and others, Serequeberhan analyzes the question of how we relate to our past (i.e., our heritage) and the open possibilities of our future. He carefully examines the variety of approaches to African philosophy and argues for a historically engaged and existentially attuned paradigm shift. The result is an approach that explores the contemporary situation of African and African-American existence in view of emancipatory struggles that have established the confines of the present.

Download or read book The Book of the Ancient World for Younger Readers written by Dorothy Mills and published by Pantianos Classics. This book was released on 1923 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient civilizations of Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, plus the Hebrews, Hittites, Persians and the Phoenicians are examined in this well-researched and illustrated history. A comprehensive overview of each country is given; the greatest accomplishments, the societal structure and the religious and cultural life. Firstly there is Egypt's hieroglyphic system of writing, its colossal architectural builds such as the Pyramids of Giza, and its elaborate religious beliefs in the afterlife and honoring the dead. Following this is an examination of ancient Assyria and Babylon; the code of laws implemented by Hammurabi, and the use of cuneiform to write and maintain records. Triumphs of construction, notably the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, are also mentioned alongside the advancements of civic education and early astronomy. Next is the story of the Hebrew people, who founded their lands under the leadership of Moses following their exile from Egypt. The vast religious literature the Hebrews produced is collected in the Holy Bible. The author turns her focus to Ancient Persia, whose military conquests under Cyrus and his descendants changed the face of the ancient world. Finally, we turn to the Phoenicians; a coastal people living on the banks of the Mediterranean, who pioneered seafaring, crafted many of the most ancient artifacts, and created colonies and trading outposts to further their prosperity.
