Download or read book The North American Indian Portfolio From the Library of Congress written by Karl Bodmer and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Tiny Folio™ volume is based on the well-known frontier artwork by Karl Bodmer, George Catlin, and McKenney and Hall. Based on the renowned frontier artwork of George Catlin’s North American Indian Portfolio, McKenney and Hall’s History of the Indian Tribes of North America, and Prince Maximilian’s Travels in the Interior of North America between 1832 and 1834, these historic collections of prints and paintings were the first to preserve images of Native Americans before their culture was affected by the white man. Fulfilling one of the Library of Congress’s central missions—to document the printed, visual, and written history of this country—the images in this volume constitute part of the archive of the American memory. Native Americans found the world’s eyes upon them in the nineteenth century. Artists like George Catlin, Charles Bird King, and Karl Bodmer trekked to the West to paint images for those unable to make the journey and created some of the most important sociological, historical, and ethnological studies of American Indians. George Catlin, for example, was allowed to observe many of the ceremonies and games in the Indian villages which enabled him to provide a remarkably detailed picture of the tribe’s religious and social life. He wrote, “The history and customs of such a people, preserved by pictorial illustration, are themes worthy of the lifetime of one man.” This extraordinary miniature folio will appeal to anyone with an interest in American art, art history, or Native American history.

This book was released on 2016-08-04 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Aboriginal Portfolio More than two centuries ago, the Jesuit fathers were laboring zealously in Canada. While all worked with energy, there is no doubt many - some, at least were anxious to convert and save immortal souls. Champlain declared, The con version of one soul is worth more than the conquest of an empire. The Jesuit labored on the rugged and rocky shores of our lakes and rivers, and in the deep recesses of our forests. Not only the waves and solitudes echoed his voice, but the deep tones of the savage Iroquois and Huron harmonized with his, in singing the hymns of the Church. We may denounce the society, but we must honor and love the memory of the man; for how many of the Order of Jesus fell sacrifices to their zeal! The blood of their martyrs witnesses against the men who will condemn each of the fathers in the name of the society to whose power they felt themselves obliged to submit. N o difficulties daunted, no dangers appalled them; they seemed indeed to have left home and friends to serve Him whose name they bore. That they did not accomplish lasting good was because their zeal was without knowledge. And not alone does their zeal deserve to be remembered; their courage, their patience, their benevolence, should be spoken of and imitated by those who have been set apart for the task of winning souls to Christ. The Jesuits devoted themselves to learning and to self-improvement, that they might be all things to all men. Many of them, deprived of advantages In early life, sought to remedy this by the most untiring and constant application. Here they had the example of their founder, Ignatius Loyola. In the prime of manhood he sat down with children to learn the Latin grammar. Nor do we remember him only as a student. He was enthusiastic, ever careless of his own good, seek ing the good of others. Strange that so much dark cunning, deceit, and crime.

MAC-CUT-I-MISH-E-CA-CU-CAC, OR THE BLACK HAWK, LATE CHIEF OF THE SAC TRIBE. This chief was born in the month of August, 1766, at the village of Car-kie-o-mar, or the Eagle village, on the Mississippi river, lying betw een the Rock river and the Des Moines. His father, whose name was Par-ise, or the Spirit, was a full Sac Indian, and his mother, who was named O-ne-go-qua, or the White Woman, was a Pottowattomie squaw. The latter was one of six wives, who all but herself belonged to the Sac nation, was married near Chicago in the state of Illinois, and bore her husband two children. Par-ise was made a war chief by the English at the time Montcalm was defeated by their forces at Quebec, on account of the assistance, which in common with the Indian auxiliaries, he afforded to their arms; but soon after, in the year 1780, he met a tragic end. Whilst hunting up the Mississippi river, he was attacked by wolves, when he defended himself with desperate valor, but in the contest accidentally discharged his gun, the contents of which passed through his body, and he expired on the spot, his wife dying soon after him. In the year 1800, Black Hawk, the subject of this notice, married Man-wa-qua, or the Female Wolf, daughter of Sha-e-qua by O-ou-nis-ka, a noted and brave chief, who fell in a skirmish with the Sioux tribe, some distance up the Mississippi. For many years but little was known of the character of Black Hawk, by the white settlers bordering on the Indian reservation of the Sacs, with whom he had always lived in peace and amity. In 1832, however he commenced a fierce hostility towards the whites, without any known cause of aggression, and was the leader of a series of atrocities, which for a long time kept the borders in a state of great...

Book excerpt: Native Family presents some of the finest examples of Edward Sheriff Curtis's portraiture, especially of women and children, as well as images that portray the traditional costumes, rites, and character of the individuals who made up the native nations of North America. Photographs of a wide variety of tribal groups from the Pacific Northwest to the Desert Southwest to the Great Plains are included. The images, selected by Curtis expert Christopher Cardozo, are from Curtis's landmark publication, The North American Indian. This twenty-volume, twenty-portfolio magnum opus contains thousands of photogravures and accompanying historical and descriptive text, some of which has been excerpted here to bring the pictures to life and provide information on family structure, marriage customs, living conditions, child-rearing, relationships, and other components of these native peoples' often difficult existence. Compiled over thirty years beginning in 1898, Curtis's study of more than eighty tribal cultures on the brink of extinction captured the essence of the Native American way of life.
