Anton Treuer - Everything You Wanted to Know About Indians But Were Afraid to Ask краткое содержание
"I had a profoundly well-educated Princetonian ask me, 'Where is your tomahawk?' I had a beautiful woman approach me in the college gymnasium and exclaim, 'You have the most beautiful red skin.' I took a friend to see Dances with Wolves and was told, 'Your people have a beautiful culture.' . . . I made many lifelong friends at college, and they supported but also challenged me with questions like, 'Why should Indians have reservations?'"<br /><br />What have you always wanted to know about Indians? Do you think you should already know the answers—or suspect that your questions may be offensive? In matter-of-fact responses to over 120 questions, both thoughtful and outrageous, modern and historical, Ojibwe scholar and cultural preservationist Anton Treuer gives a frank, funny, and sometimes personal tour of what's up with Indians, anyway.<br /><br />—What is the real story of Thanksgiving?<br /><br />?—Why are tribal languages important?<br /><br />?—What do you think of that incident where people died in a sweat lodge?<br /><br />White/Indian relations are often characterized by guilt and anger. Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians but Were Afraid to Ask cuts through the emotion and builds a foundation for true understanding and positive action.

With insight and candor, noted Ojibwe scholar Anton Treuer traces thousands of years of the complicated history of the Ojibwe people—their economy, culture, and clan system and how these have changed throughout time, perhaps most dramatically with the arrival of Europeans into Minnesota territory.<br /><br />Ojibwe in Minnesota covers the fur trade, the Iroquois Wars, and Ojibwe-Dakota relations; the treaty process and creation of reservations; and the systematic push for...
The Red Lake Nation has a unique and deeply important history. Unlike every other reservation in Minnesota, Red Lake holds its land in common—and, consequently, the tribe retains its entire reservation land base. The people of Red Lake developed the first modern indigenous democratic governance system in the United States, decades before any other tribe, but they also maintained their system of hereditary chiefs. The tribe never surrendered to state jurisdiction over crimes committed...
A language carries a people's memories, whether they are recounted as individual reminiscences, as communal history, or as humorous tales. This collection of stories from Anishinaabe elders offers a history of a people at the same time that it seeks to preserve the language of that people.><br /><br />As fluent speakers of Ojibwe grow older, the community questions whether younger speakers know the language well enough to pass it on to the next generation. Young and old...
On June 27, 1868, Hole in the Day (Bagonegiizhig) the Younger left Crow Wing, Minnesota, for Washington, DC, to fight the planned removal of the Mississippi Ojibwe to a reservation at White Earth. Several miles from his home, the self-styled leader of all the Ojibwe was stopped by at least twelve Ojibwe men and fatally shot.<br /><br />Hole in the Day's death was national news, and rumors of its cause were many: personal jealousy, retribution for his claiming to be head chief...
Каханне не бывае ідэальным, а жыццёвы шлях – роўным. Лёсы заўжды выглядаюць як паралельныя крывыя. Стасункі ж усё часцей нагадваюць трохкутнікі. Але гэта не геаметрыя, хутчэй геаграфія чалавечых душ, звязаных раманам, геаграфія пачуццяў, геаграфія любові, што злучыла Беларусь і Украіну, нягледзячы ні на вайну, ні на рэпрэсіі, ні на межы і ростані. Галоўныя героі твора – беларус і ўкраінка, сын ворага народа і дачка Героя Савецкага Саюза, якіх паяднала чужына – Казахстан. Якімі стануцца іх...
К премьере фильма «ВИКИНГ», посвященного князю Владимиру. НОВАЯ книга от автора бестселлеров «10 тысяч лет русской истории. Запрещенная Русь» и «Велесова Русь. Летопись Льда и Огня». Нет в истории Древней Руси более мифологизированной, противоречивой и спорной фигуры, чем Владимир Святой. Его прославляют как Равноапостольного Крестителя, подарившего нашему народу великое будущее. Его проклинают как кровавого тирана, обращавшего Русь в новую веру огнем и мечом. Его превозносят как мудрого...
Столетняя война в самом разгаре. Английские гарнизоны стоят в Нормандии, Бретани и Аквитании; король шотландский, союзник французов, томится в лондонском Тауэре; Черный принц – Эдуард Уэльский – опустошает юг Франции, которая «похожа на крупного оленя, терзаемого охотничьими собаками». Чтобы сломить врагов окончательно, Эдуард затевает опустошительный набег через самое сердце Франции, оставляя за собой сожженные фермы, разрушенные мельницы, города в руинах и истребленный скот. Граф Нортгемптон...
1612 год. Русь истекает кровью в аду Великой Смуты – иноземных нашествий и казачьих бунтов, боярских распрей и мятежей «черного люда». Ляхи хозяйничают в Кремле, шведы взяли Новгород, Семибоярщина присягнула польскому королевичу, первая попытка отбить Москву у захватчиков и предателей закончилась провалом… Но на Волге уже собирается второе Земское ополчение во главе с Мининым и Пожарским. Они – последняя надежда Руси на выживание и возрождение. От них зависит, сгорит ли Русская Земля в пожаре...
