Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Inka Empire stretched over much of the length and breadth of the South American Andes, encompassed elaborately planned cities linked by a complex network of roads and messengers, and created astonishing works of architecture and artistry and a compelling mythology—all without the aid of a graphic writing system. Instead, the Inkas' records consisted of devices made of knotted and dyed strings—called khipu—on which they recorded information pertaining to the organization and history of their empire. Despite more than a century of research on these remarkable devices, the khipu remain largely undeciphered. In this benchmark book, twelve international scholars tackle the most vexed question in khipu studies: how did the Inkas record and transmit narrative records by means of knotted strings? The authors approach the problem from a variety of angles. Several essays mine Spanish colonial sources for details about the kinds of narrative encoded in the khipu. Others look at the uses to which khipu were put before and after the Conquest, as well as their current use in some contemporary Andean communities. Still others analyze the formal characteristics of khipu and seek to explain how they encode various kinds of numerical and narrative data.

This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, Vol. 13 The Menomini first came in contact with the whites about the year 1634, when they were visited by the Sieur Jean Nicollet at Green Bay. From that time on their friendship with the whites has been practically unbroken. They refused the successive advances of Pontiac, Tecumseh, and Black Hawk, and assisted materially in causing the downfall of the latter.2 They sided with the English after the withdrawal of the French, although they had previously fought against them on several occasions. One hundred and twenty-nine Menomini warriors were present under Marin at the fall of Fort William Henry in 1757. We find them arrayed with the English against the Americans in 1812, but they joined us against Black Hawk. At a later date, many of them served as volunteers in the Civil War on the side of the Union. Owing to their friendship for the settlers their impor tance in the early history of Wisconsin can hardly be exaggerated. Because of their peaceful attitude towards the white man the Menomini have never been as well known to us as some of their more warlike neighbors, such as the Potawatomi and the Sauk and Fox. The only literature of any importance bearing on them is Hoffman's paper, The Menomini, and the fragmentary, though often very excellent accounts contained in the annual reports Of the Wisconsin Historical Society and the Jesuit Relations. For the past four summers the writer has been engaged in studying the ethnology of this tribe. Through the able and untiring assistance of Mr. John V. Satterlee, United States Government interpreter and chief of In dian police at Keshena, a large amount of data have been gathered. During the course of the work the writer became intimately acquainted with most of the head men of the pagan party. With a feeling of mutual confidence established, it was possible to obtain for the Museum examples of the sacred bundles and their rituals, as well as information about the lesser religious and other concepts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, Vol. 2 This last incident bears a striking similarity to part of an Algonkin myth recorded among the Sauk and Fox by Dr. William Jones.2 Grinnell also records an incident in which Old Man plucks the hair from a fox and sends him out to attract buffalo. The buffalo are killed with laughing at the antics of the fox. While Old Man is butchering, it becomes cold and the fox freezes stiff. The buffalo laughing himself to death occurs in our col lection, but 15 due to the Old Man's acts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
