A unique anthology featuring a collection of writings by Native American women. Almost 90 examples of songs, poetry, prose, prayer, narrative, and oral history describe their everyday environment, the earth's past beauty and harmony, marriages and children, their roots and tribal history. Part 1 focuses on songs, prayers, and rituals that were a part of the life cycle of the various tribes. Part 2 represents the women poets and prose writers of the twentieth century who have been inspired by the literature and lore of the indigenous world, but who have come to terms with the white man's desecration of their land and culture.--Back cover.

American Indian Moses: An essential and timely message for all Native Americans.A must read to understand their origin and, more importantly, their destiny.Timothy Dom Bucci, the author, was an ordained Evangelist in The Church of Jesus Christ (world headquarters in Monongahela, Pennsylvania). He was a zealous missionary and writer of pamphlets and articles. For over forty years he brought a special message to Native Americans in Oklahoma and various reservations in New York, Arizona, North Carolina and Ontario. He made many friends among the Native Americans and was a close friend of the late Chief Clinton Rickard of the Tuscarora Nation.In this book, Timothy confidently delivers his message that a Native American Indian will rise up among his own people in the near future to deliver them from spiritual bondage and social oppression. As Moses delivered his people thousands of years ago, so will this Native American. Timothy combines Biblical and Ancient American history to draw astonishing spiritual and cultural parallels between the ancient Israelites and the present-day Native American Indians including their common ancestry and destiny.From the PrefaceIn 1975 a small but mighty book was published. There were only several hundred copies printed at that time. Those close to the author of the book held on tightly to their copies since it was out of print before it could gain the audience it deserved. The book I am referring too is "American Indian Moses." We will backtrack for a moment to the late 1950's, would-be-author Timothy Dom Bucci is speaking to me of the great promises in God's plan for the Native Peoples of the America's. I distinctly remember him talking at great length concerning the divine origin of the Translated Ancient American Writings commonly known as the Book of Mormon. As I grew older his encouraging words and the example he set in his life as a disciple of Jesus Christ left a great impression on me. The culmination of his life dedicated to such a beautiful cause was brought forth in the initial printing of this book. But Timothy D. Bucci's calling as a messenger, to spread the news of the brilliant future of the indigenous peoples of the Americas, was brought to paper and ink in the form of "American Indian Moses." Almost thirty years after the first printing a newly updated version is now available to all lovers of truth who desire to understand one of God's great unalterable truths. Never in the history of the United States of America has there been a greater need for a concise composition concerning the future events, which we will be swept up into. Never has there been a greater need for the light of Truth to dispel the spiritual heavy darkness that surrounds both the Native American and the citizens of this nation. I have waited with great enthusiasm for the opportunity to share the information in this book with those who I believe will not only find merit in it, but comfort and hope as it looks to the great events of the near future for both American Indians and Israel. And if not at first then maybe through the workings of the Great Spirit its truth will be confirmed.Read this book thoughtfully and prayerfully because its topic is timely and relevant to each and every one of us and most importantly to the Native Peoples of North, Central and South America.

Excerpt from To the American Indian I am a pure full blooded Klamath river woman. In our tongue We call this great river by the name of Health-kick-wer my, and I wear the Tat-toes on my chin that has. Been the custom for our women for many generations. I was born at Pec wanx. Village, and of highest birth or what we term under the highest laws of marriage. I am known by my people as a Talth. My maiden name was Che-na - wah Weitch-ah-wah, Che na-wah being my given name. My father, being also a Talth, took me at a very early age and began training me in all of the mysteries and laws of my people. It took me years to learn and the ordeal was a hard. One. I was made a Talth and given the true name of God, the Creator of all things, and taught. The meaning of every article that is used in our festivals, together with all the laws governing our people. I can understand every word, every nod and gesture made in our language. Therefore I feel that I am in a better position than any other person to tell the true facts of the religion and the meaning of the many things that we used to commemorate the events of the past. In this book I will endeavor to tell all in a plain and truthful way without the least coloring of the facts, and will add many of our fairy tales and mother's stories to their children. I will also give the names of many things in my own native tongue. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"The organizing principle for this anthology is the common Native American heritage of its authors; and yet that thread proves to be the most tenuous of all, as the experience of indigeneity differs radically for each of them. While many experience a centripetal pull toward a cohesive Indian experience, the indications throughout these essays lean toward a richer, more illustrative panorama of difference. What tends to bind them together are not cultural practices or spiritual attitudes per se, but rather circumstances that have no exclusive province in Indian country: that is, first and foremost, poverty, and its attendant symptoms of violence, substance abuse, and both physical and mental illness.... Education plays a critical role in such lives: many of the authors recall adoring school as young people, as it constituted a place of escape and a rare opportunity to thrive.... While many of the writers do return to their tribal communities after graduation, ideas about 'home' become more malleable and complicated."—from the IntroductionI Am Where I Come From presents the autobiographies of thirteen Native American undergraduates and graduates of Dartmouth College, ten of them current and recent students. Twenty years ago, Cornell University Press published First Person, First Peoples: Native American College Graduates Tell Their Life Stories, also about the experiences of Native American students at Dartmouth College. I Am Where I Come From addresses similar themes and experiences, but it is very much a new book for a new generation of college students.Three of the essays from the earlier book are gathered into a section titled "Continuing Education," each followed by a shorter reflection from the author on his or her experience since writing the original essay. All three have changed jobs multiple times, returned to school for advanced degrees, started and increased their families, and, along the way, continuously revised and refined what it means to be Indian.The autobiographies contained in I Am Where I Come From explore issues of native identity, adjustment to the college environment, cultural and familial influences, and academic and career aspirations. The memoirs are notable for their eloquence and bravery.

Who is a Native American? And who gets to decide? From genealogists searching online for their ancestors to fortune hunters hoping for a slice of casino profits from wealthy tribes, the answers to these seemingly straightforward questions have profound ramifications. The rise of DNA testing has further complicated the issues and raised the stakes. In Native American DNA, Kim TallBear shows how DNA testing is a powerful—and problematic—scientific process that is useful in determining close biological relatives. But tribal membership is a legal category that has developed in dependence on certain social understandings and historical contexts, a set of concepts that entangles genetic information in a web of family relations, reservation histories, tribal rules, and government regulations. At a larger level, TallBear asserts, the “markers” that are identified and applied to specific groups such as Native American tribes bear the imprints of the cultural, racial, ethnic, national, and even tribal misinterpretations of the humans who study them. TallBear notes that ideas about racial science, which informed white definitions of tribes in the nineteenth century, are unfortunately being revived in twenty-first-century laboratories. Because today’s science seems so compelling, increasing numbers of Native Americans have begun to believe their own metaphors: “in our blood” is giving way to “in our DNA.” This rhetorical drift, she argues, has significant consequences, and ultimately she shows how Native American claims to land, resources, and sovereignty that have taken generations to ratify may be seriously—and permanently—undermined.
