Miss Golden gives us swift, panoramic looks at the Incas, the Maya and the Aztecs, and the view is impressive. She shows us how much was lost and trampled underfoot by the ruthless conquering Spaniards.

Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,5 (A), Technical University of Chemnitz, course: Understanding the USA, language: English, abstract: Considering the US-American society there are two entirely different definitions on how people live together in the States. In the beginning of the settlement people had the vision of forming a new "ethnical group". They saw the American continent as a place where they could live together, not next to each other, a place where it did not matter where they came from and what they were in their "old" life. They thought it to be a place of a new beginning and a very important part of the American dream is expressed in the theory of the melting pot. It says that America is "a place where people from different races, countries, or social classes come to live together to form a new race." (...) Culture and traditions as well as the specification of a people were supposed to melt together to form something new and something better. Nowadays scientist more often use the term salad bowl for the American society. Peter Lösche talks in detail about that second theory in his book "Amerika in Perspektive": Die Vereinigten Staaten bestehen aus Tausenden und Abertausenden Nachbarschaftsinseln, die klar voneinander abgegrenzt und verschieden sind. [...] Auf diesen Nachbarschaftsinseln wohnen Menschen, die die gleiche ethnische oder rassische Herkunft haben; die ungefähr das gleiche wöchentliche oder monatliche Einkommen verdienen; die über etwa das gleiche Sozialprestige verfügen. [...] Dies sind Inseln der Gleichheit und Glückseligkeit, auf denen der amerikanische Traum geträumt werden kann und tatsächlich geträumt wird, deren Bewohner zum Verwechseln ähnliche Werte, Einstellungen und Überzeugungen haben. Wer mehr Geld verdient, sozial aufsteigt und dadurch seine politischen Ansichten verändert, der zieht in eine andere Wohngegend. [...] Innerhalb der Inseln besteht großer Konformitätsdruck, zwischen den Nachbarschaften hingegen ist die größte, farbigste Vielfalt zu beobachten. [...] (Lösche, Amerika in Perspektive, S. 46ff) There is of course a mixing of the different ethnical groups, for example through intermarriages, but only to a certain degree. In most cases it is very simple to tell a Hispanic from a White, a Black from an Asian and an Indian from all the others. In big cities like New York the segmentation can clearly be seen by everybody: there is for instance a Chinatown, a Little Italy, Ghettos full of Black people and outside the cities are reservations full of Indians.

This book describes the nature of 13 native american groups as they were prior to white domination as they have become in the last half of the twentieth century. Particular groups were selected because information concerning them was sufficient for the then and now time perspective of this book. Initially, an essential question is posed what are these people like? The answer consists of a discussion about who, where and when are indians. The meaning of urban residence and the nature of indian ethnicity are then considered. Following this, new world prehistory is briefly examined to demonstrate that the essential outlines of Native American existence developed largely within the confines of the Western Hemisphere. The roots of the the Native American present most certainly lie buried deep within an american past, this development of modern aboriginal life is briefly outlined, and the possibility of transoceanic contact influencing that development is discussed. A brief comment is made on native language and finally the nature and implications of one central, theoretical concept, the culture area, are presented. The nature of the Native American life is considered by describing, with the then and now format. The dimensions of existence of 13 individual groups of people ranging from the Eskimo of the Arctic to the Papago and Eastern Cherokee peoples in the South. Finally, both the general and specific are pulled together.

First comprehensive and up-to-date history of Crow Tribe. This book, through the experiences of the Crow Nation, relates to all native tribes as it reflects present-day governmental policies still adversely affecting American Indians. An eye opener into what is going on in Indian Country today. Anthological in parts, sprinkled with quotes from many others expressing the suppression, abuse and corruption of the Bureau of Indian Affairs towards American Indians for nearly 200 years, starting out in the War Department. In 1881 Helen Hunt Jackson presented her book, A Century of Dishonor, to all the members of Congress in regard to governmental policies toward indigenous peoples. In 1992-1993 the limited edition of Apsaalooka, the Crow Nation Then and Now, was presented as complimentary copies to all members of Congress, the President and Vice-president, etc. These two books represent 200 years of dishonor. As a result, the authors of Apsaalooka...are now being sought for help in regard to problems of Indians caused by the dominant society. Education and communication, a key to solving problems, is what this book is all about. A collector's book, one of a kind.

The reported population of American Indians and Alaska Natives has grown rapidly over the past 20 years. These changes raise questions for the Indian Health Service and other agencies responsible for serving the American Indian population. How big is the population? What are its health care and insurance needs? This volume presents an up-to-date summary of what is known about the demography of American Indian and Alaska Native population--their age and geographic distributions, household structure, employment, and disability and disease patterns. This information is critical for health care planners who must determine the eligible population for Indian health services and the costs of providing them. The volume will also be of interest to researchers and policymakers concerned about the future characteristics and needs of the American Indian population.

When Europeans first arrived in North America, between five and eight million indigenous people were already living there. But how did they come to be here? What were their agricultural, spiritual, and hunting practices? How did their societies evolve and what challenges do they face today? Eminent historians Theda Perdue and Michael Green begin by describing how nomadic bands of hunter-gatherers followed the bison and woolly mammoth over the Bering land mass between Asia and what is now Alaska between 25,000 and 15,000 years ago, settling throughout North America. They describe hunting practices among different tribes, how some made the gradual transition to more settled, agricultural ways of life, the role of kinship and cooperation in Native societies, their varied burial rites and spiritual practices, and many other features of Native American life. Throughout the book, Perdue and Green stress the great diversity of indigenous peoples in America, who spoke more than 400 different languages before the arrival of Europeans and whose ways of life varied according to the environments they settled in and adapted to so successfully. Most importantly, the authors stress how Native Americans have struggled to maintain their sovereignty--first with European powers and then with the United States--in order to retain their lands, govern themselves, support their people, and pursue practices that have made their lives meaningful. Going beyond the stereotypes that so often distort our views of Native Americans, this Very Short Introduction offers a historically accurate, deeply engaging, and often inspiring account of the wide array of Native peoples in America. About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.
