The Life and Traditions of the Red Man by Joseph Nicolar Pdf

Joseph Nicolar's "The Life and Traditions of the Red Man" tells the story of his people from the first moments of creation to the earliest arrivals and eventual settlement of Europeans. Self-published by Nicolar, this is one of the few sustained narratives in English composed by a member of an Eastern Algonquian-speaking people during the nineteenth century. At a time when Native Americans' ability to exist as Natives was imperiled, Nicolar wrote his book in an urgent effort to pass on Penobscot cultural heritage to subsequent generations of the tribe and to reclaim Native Americans' right to self-representation. This extraordinary work weaves together stories of Penobscot history, precontact material culture, feats of shamanism, and ancient prophecies about the coming of the white man. An elder of the Penobscot Nation in Maine and the grandson of the Penobscots' most famous shaman-leader, Old John Neptune, Nicolar brought to his task a wealth of traditional knowledge. providing historical context and explaining unfamiliar words and phrases. "The Life and Traditions of the Red Man" is a remarkable narrative of Native American culture, spirituality, and literature

Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER V. The flab famine--The capture of the white nwau and the white spiritual men driven away. The people in those days were so interested in these poor and unfortunate ones, that men would go and build winter wigwams and move them neur those bogs from which they could secure their daily food. After the food game had been found the people became more contented, and with a composure waited for tbe summer to come. During the snow and ice period no sickness or death was reported and the good health seemed to prevail among all, until the hot weather came, when some were taken with the bad cough, in some cases death was the result, because the medicine could not be properly administered to all. Before the winter came to a close, some of the people, who were less favored with the natural patience got very much discontented notwithstanding the new discovery made, but bad gone around to agitate a spirit among the people for a southern exodus. And by going around among the several tribes or bands got quite a following, and many families did start to seek summer in the south, and although the summer did return in due season, but did not bring back the families that went out to seek it, nor have they returned to this day. Their departure somewhat cast a gloom over the land. None of the old men would go, they warned those that were so ready to go of the danger of their light and inconsiderate disposition and habits, telling them that a time is coming when a man be reckoned according to his mind and habits, and if he be Bo that he is not contented and will not stay where the Great Spirit has placed him, but sets himself adrift, knowing not where he shall land, shall some day wish to stay to a place where he cannot, because having started himself...

The Gospel of the Redman by Anonim Pdf

Considered one of the best books on Native Americans ever written. The author and compiler reveals how Indians once lived and what they believed in relation to spiritual principles. As we move further away from the time when Native Americans were living completely free and unencumbered in what was to become the United States, before the arrival of the white man, it becomes increasingly difficult to preserve or remember the way of life that they had. Seton preserves all of the most important information in this book, gathered from the best sources at a time when it could still be accurately found. Like other Bibles, it includes creation stories and mythology as well as the trials and tribulations of the people. Chapters include The Soul of the Red Man, covering spiritual beliefs; The Ancient Way is about family life, laws and medicine men; The Wisdom of the Old Men covers the ancient teachings and myths; and Prophets of the Red Race shares stories on 13 different prophets, including Hiawatha, Tecumseh, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Wabasha, Geronimo and Wovoka. The Epilogue, originally written shortly after the Great Depression, repeatedly emphasizes the failures of the white race due to money-madness, and how important it is to bring back an awareness that is not based so heavily on materialism.

The Life and Traditions of the Red Men (Classic Reprint) by Joseph Nicolar Pdf

Excerpt from The Life and Traditions of the Red Men All prophesies, theories and ideas of the educated and intelligent of all races have been laid aside; no supposition nor presumption of any class entertained, because it is intended to show only the simple and natural state of the life, habits and ways as they existed among the pure, innocent and simple people whose traditions are here written. Simple as one would imagine them to be, yet some prophesies of theirs when given a full account of, will be very interesting, especially when it is shown that none of the studies nor the researches of the white -man have ever penetrated - thereby dwelt upon them. But still remains with him as hidden things. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Red Man's Continent by Ellsworth Huntington Pdf

In writing this book the author has aimed first to present in readable form the main facts about the geographical environment of American history. Many important facts have been omitted or have been touched upon only lightly because they are generally familiar. On the other hand, special stress has been laid on certain broad phases of geography which are comparatively unfamiliar. One of these is the similarity of form between the Old World and the New, and between North and South America; another is the distribution of indigenous types of vegetation in North America; and a third is the relation of climate to health and energy. In addition to these subjects, the influence of geographical conditions upon the life of the primitive Indians has been emphasized.
