Autobiography of Ma-Ka-Tai-Me-She-Kia-Kiak by Black Hawk Pdf

Autobiography of Ma-Ka-Tai-Me-She-Kia-Kiak (1833) is the autobiography of Sauk chief Black Hawk. Dictated to government interpreter Antoine LeClair following nearly a year in captivity, Black Hawk’s Autobiography captures his youth among the Sauk in the American Midwest, his union with British forces during the War of 1812, and his eventual rebellion against white settlers during the 1832 Black Hawk War. Revered by generations for his bravery and leadership, Black Hawk was also the first Native American to publish an autobiography. “My reason teaches me that land cannot be sold. The Great Spirit gave it to his children to live upon and cultivate as far as necessary for their subsistence, and so long as they occupy and cultivate it they have the right to the soil, but if they voluntarily leave it, then any other people have a right to settle on it. Nothing can be sold but such things as can be carried away.” In his own words, Black Hawk tells the story of his life and of his people. Long mistreated and betrayed by American settlers and government forces alike, the Sauk went to war against the United States twice. Although his final stand ended in surrender, Black Hawk remains a source of pride and a symbol of resilience nearly two centuries after his death. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Black Hawk’s Autobiography of Ma-Ka-Tai-Me-She-Kia-Kiak is a classic of Native American literature reimagined for modern readers.

The Autobiography of Black Hawk by Black Hawk Pdf

One of the most respected personages in Native American history, BLACK HAWK (1767-1838), Sauk war chief of the Native American tribe in Illinois, was already a renowned name in the early 1800s, having fought for the British during the War of 1812. By 1832, when Black Hawk led warriors against encroaching European settlers on Sauk lands, he was so well-known that the engagement became known as the Black Hawk War. In his 1833 autobiography, Black Hawk-dictating to American newspaper editor JOHN BARTON PATTERSON (1805-1890)-tells his tale, from the "Indian wars" as he saw them to his capture, in 1832, by American forces and his subsequent meeting with President Andrew Jackson and grand tour of the United States. A provocative look at Black Hawk's wisdom and, ironically, his misunderstanding of the politics of the United States, this is a fascinating firsthand account of one of the foundational philosophical battles of American history.

Autobiography of Ma-Ka-Tai-Me-She-Kia-Kiak; Or, Black Hawk (Dodo Press) by Hawk Black Hawk Pdf

Black Hawk or Black Sparrow Hawk (Sauk Makataimeshekiakiak) (1767-1838) was a leader and warrior of the Sauk American Indian tribe in what is now the United States. Although he had inherited an important historic medicine bundle, he was not a hereditary civil chief of the Sauk, but was an appointed war chief. He was generally known in English as Black Hawk. During the War of 1812, he fought on the side of the British. Later he led a band of Sauk and Fox warriors against settlers in Illinois and present-day Wisconsin in the 1832 Black Hawk War. After the war he was captured and taken to the eastern U. S. where he and other British Band leaders toured several cities. Near the end of his captivity in 1833, he told his life story to a government interpreter, which was edited by a local reporter and became the first Native American autobiography published in the United States, entitled Autobiography of Maka- tai-me-she-kia-kiak; or, Black Hawk.
