Download or read book Tribes of California written by Stephen Powers and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1976 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic of American Indian ethnography, originally published in 1877, is again available in its complete form. In the summers of 1871 and 1872 Powers visited Indian groups in the northern two-thirds of California. A journalist by profession, he was untrained in ethnography, but was nonetheless an astonishingly intelligent observer who had a gift for writing in a spirited manner. He reported faithfully what he heard and portrayed accurately what he saw among the native survivors of Gold Rush days in a series of seventeen articles published mostly in The Overland Monthly. These were partly unwritten, added to, and reorganized by Powers to be published in 1877 as a report of the U.S. Geographical Survey of the Rocky Mountain Region. Powers’ book is still basic and is referred to by everyone who deals with native cultures. The 1877 edition was not large, and Tribes of California is at last reprinted in response to growing demand for this rare volume. For this edition all of the original illustrations have been retained and the basic text printed in facsimile. Professor Robert F. Heizer has provided annotations throughout and an introduction to indicate contemporary thought about the volume.
Download or read book A Native American Encyclopedia written by Barry Pritzker and published by Oxford : Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dispelling myths, answering questions, and stimulating thoughtful avenues for further inquiry, this highly absorbing reference provides a wealth of specific information about over 200 North American Indian groups in Canada and the United States. Readers will easily access important historical and contemporary facts about everything from notable leaders and relations with non-natives to customs, dress, dwellings, weapons, government, and religion. This book is at once exhaustive and captivating, covering myriad aspects of a people spread across a continent. Divided into ten geographic areas for easy reference, this work illustrates each Native American group in careful detail. Listed alphabetically, starting with the tribal name, translation, origin, and definition, each entry includes significant facts about the group's location and population, as well as impressive accounts of the group's history and culture. Bringing entries up-to-date, Barry Pritzker also presents current information on each group's government, economy, legal status, and land holdings. Whether interpreting the term "tribe" (many traditional Native American groups were not tribes at all but more like extended families) or describing how a Shoshone woman served as a guide on the Lewis and Clark expedition, Pritzker always presents the material in a clear and lively manner. In light of past and ongoing injustices and the momentum of Indian and Inuit self-determination movements, an understanding of Native American cultures as well as their contributions to contemporary society becomes increasingly important. A magnificent resource, this book liberally provides the essential information necessary to better grasp the history and cultures of North American Indians.

Download or read book Fighting for Federal Recognition written by Vanessa Danielle Esquivido-Meza and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nor Rel Muk Wintu Nation, an Indian Tribe, located in Northern California, survived genocide and colonization during the 19th century and beyond. Today, the United States government continues to fail them. The Nor Rel Muk Wintu Nation is not a federally recognized Tribe, meaning the United States does not acknowledge their inherent sovereignty. If the federal government does not recognize the Nor Rel Muk Wintu, it continues to erase historical injustices of genocide committed against them leaving them powerless. By seeking federal recognition through the Federal Acknowledgment Process (FAP). The FAP is a process that remains ineffective and grossly inappropriate, as it is designed to be a catalyst for the United States government to erase Native bodies and identity. The Nor Rel Muk Wintu have been fighting for federal recognition through the FAP sending in their intent to petition in 1984. Without federal recognition, the Nor Rel Muk Wintu Nation is left without a spot at the policymaking tables, powerless when fighting for Native rights, or utilizing federal Indian laws. This dissertation aims to honor and re-write the narrative of the Nor Rel Muk Wintu Nation through an ethnohistorical lens, through a Wintu perspective. Gifting this research to the Tribe, I belong too; I hope to offer this dissertation as a supplement to the FAP petition in hopes of our Nation future recognition. I also want to encourage future generations of Nor Rel Muk Wintu people and for the Nor Rel Muk Wintu youth. So, they know where they come from, and learn this history through a Wintu lens.
