Indigenous Peoples History - Bahamas & Turks & Caicos Islands Civilizations The Americas' modern nations exist today because of what took place over 500 years ago in a tiny archipelago that Spanish explorers called the Lucayan Islands or the Islas de Los Lucayos (today's Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands). The tragic events that originated from these shores resulted in humanity's continuing drama in its quest for peace. In this insightful book, Tellis A. Bethel shares how the Old World's ruthless transformation of the Ancient World into a new one (today's Americas) began in these Lucayan Islands. This book lays a concise historical foundation for finding purpose and meaning in a tragic past that could change the world for the better. As you read Book 1, you will discover how: the Ancient World of the Western Hemisphere began with an ancient migration from northeast Asia into Alaska; the Caribbean Islands were colonized from Central and South America, and the predominant indigenous groups involved (Arawaks, Tainos, Caribs, and Lucayans); Asians, Africans, and other Europeans may have arrived in the Ancient World of the Western Hemisphere before Christopher Columbus; Columbus' special gift while at Hispaniola from a local chief changed history; the Lucayans were the first to be forcibly taken from their homeland during Columbus' first landfall in the Americas, marked the beginnings of European slavery within the Americas; Spain may not have been the first European country to have political jurisdiction over the Lucayan Islands, and much more.

This book is about Lucayan legacies - the heritage of the people who made the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands (the Lucayan archipelago) their home from the 8th to the 16th centuries. This legacy is not simply the surviving physical record, consisting of artifacts of stone, shell and wood - it is a history entangled in the early antiquarian and archaeological interests in the region, resulting in the museum and institutional collections both within and beyond the islands. Many of the collections now in museums were acquired between 1850 and 1950, before professional archaeology emerged as a field in the region, and are largely unknown even to many archaeologists working in the Bahamas and the wider Caribbean, let alone to local island communities and the wider public. In drawing together this widely dispersed corpus, this comprehensive, richly illustrated study aims to foreground the material culture of the Lucayans, making it more accessible and reinstating it as an important part of the region's archaeological heritage.Development on the islands dating back to the 17th century has resulted in the loss of much of the earlier heritage, with a rate of destruction that has only increased in recent decades as a result of both human activity but also global climate change, seeing rising sea levels and ever-more violent storms. In this context, it is important to take stock of the islands' surviving Lucayan heritage, and integrate it back into the narratives of the past. Many of the most elaborate artifacts ever found on the islands - including a number of wood carvings - have not been recovered from archaeological excavations, but rather as a result of early guano mining and cave exploration. This has led to them often being marginalized, reinforcing an impression of a comparatively 'simple' Lucayan society.A central tenet of the book is that this impression is mistaken, and that the Lucayans had a rich material culture and were active participants in social, economic and political exchanges with the larger islands of the Greater Antilles. By integrating these legacy collections with a historiography of archaeological investigation in the region, the volume addresses topics ranging from the first occupations on the islands, to an island-by-island review of finds and settlements, and a consideration of Lucayan lifeways. Further, it explores some of the new directions this heritage is taking through the work of contemporary Bahamian and TCI artists.

BAHAMA SAGA is a chronicle of the human presence on a unique archipelago of the Americas. The story takes its title from a few invented characters and the romantic and beautiful country of seven hundred sub-tropical islands. The confetti of Bahamian islands has, at different times, been a locus for the three races of the planet. After the original Amerindian inhabitants perished, the Bahamas remained uninhabited for nearly 150 years until people from Bermuda - largely of English and African stock - re-settled the islands commencing in 1648. Not long afterwards many more Africans were brought to the Bahamas in bondage. Their descendants today hold the destiny of the islands in their hands. The geographical location of the Bahamas allowed the islands to play a brief, but important part in the history of the modern world. The eastern islands protrude out into the Atlantic Ocean so as to make them one of the nearest parts of the Americas to Europe and it was here that an explorer from Europe made a historic landfall at what, for him at least, was a 'New World. It was just over five hundred years ago that Christopher Columbus in 1492 sailed the ocean blue. The islands on the western side are a mere 50 miles from the United States. Throughout time, events on the North American continent have had a major affect upon the history of the Bahama Islands as this well-written and intriguing story relates.

Turks Islands Landfall by H.E. Sadler is a well researched and authoritative account of the Islands' history from 1492 to the present time. It presents compelling evidence that it was Turks Islands where the Lucayan Indians first greeted Christopher Columbus; it brings together extensive material on the country's development of the salt trade, the Bermudian and Bahamian influences, as well as the American Loyalist settlements in the Islands. The book reveals the seafaring, shipwrecking and privateering history, and its entry into modern times. For students of Turks and Caicos and Caribbean history, it is an indispensable tool for study and research.
