"The story of how the Musqueam First Nation have used cultural objects to take control of their history and land. Archaeologists studying human remains and burial sites of North America's Indigenous peoples have discovered more than information about the beliefs and practices of cultures--they have also found controversy. These Mysterious People shows how Western ideas and attitudes about Indigenous peoples have transformed one culture's ancestors, burial grounds, and possessions into another culture's 'specimens,' 'archaeological sites,' and 'ethnographic artifacts,' in the process disassociating Natives from their own histories. Focusing on the Musqueam people and a contentious archaeological site in Vancouver, These Mysterious People details the relationship between the Musqueam and researchers from the late-nineteenth century to the present. Susan Roy traces the historical development of competing understandings of the past and reveals how the Musqueam First Nation used information derived from archaeological finds to assist the larger recognition of territorial rights. She also details the ways in which Musqueam legal and cultural expressions of their own history--such as land claim submissions, petitions, cultural displays, and testimonies--have challenged public accounts of Aboriginal occupation and helped to define Aboriginal rights in Canada. An important and engaging examination of methods of historical representation, These Mysterious People analyses the ways historical evidence, material culture, and places themselves have acquired legal and community authority"--Publisher descriptio

Did Rasputin, the mad monk of Tsarist Russia, possess supernatural powers? Who was the mysterious prisoner in the Bastille who has gone down in history as "The Man in the Iron Mask"? Did he possess a priceless secret which Louis XIV desperately wanted to learn? Victorian Britain was terrorized by a weird super-athlete known to the popular press of those days as "Spring-heeled Jack." Was he just an eccentric gymnast, or could he have been an alien? Who or what was the mysterious man known as the Count of St. Germain whose abnormal powers seemed to defy both time and space – and is he still with us today? What strange powers of prophecy did Coinneach Odhar, the famous Brahan Seer, really possess? Was Bérenger Sauniëre, the enigmatic Priest of Rennes-Le-Château, one of the last guardians of a secret older than the Sphinx? Could the sinister Aleister Crowley have been merely a pathetic victim of self-deception and his own inflated ego, or did he really possess magical powers? What amazing secrets did electrical engineer Nikola Tesla control? Gurdjieff – one of the most amazing men of his time – has never been fully understood: what was the true meaning behind his strangely ambivalent messages? Was Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky a genius with strange paranormal powers, or merely a charlatan and a sensation-seeker? Francis Dashwood of Medmenham Abbey, leader of a sect of the wildest debauchees who roared their way across the eighteenth century, was an expert in the Black Arts. All of these strange, mysterious, and intriguing characters – and many others – are described, examined, and analyzed in The World's Most Mysterious People. This is a collection of remarkable and mysterious people, from all ages and places – including our own. Some the authors have met, others were researched carefully from reliable archives. Some are Canadian, others are from the US, the UK, and all over the world. All are mysterious; all are intriguing; all are worth studying. Can anyone learn to use mysterious powers like theirs? To update what a great thinker once said: "The proper study of people is other human beings." And the more mysterious those human beings are, the more we shall learn from studying them.

WHAT THIS BOOK CONTAINS: There are several people from various parts of the world who are associated with all kinds of mysterious manifestations, but none of them can compete or compare with this man of mystery of whom this book is all about, who has been assessed and discovered to be the greatest of them all, as you will easily agree with, by the time you finish reading through this book. Mysterious persons all over the world are usually known for one or two wonderful things they are often associated with. On the contrary this book describes in detail, not one or two, but a total of thirteen different wonders all attributed to this one and the same person . One of these wonders, which is by no means the greatest of them, is that when he desires to see or meet with someone, no matter how far away from him the person might be, finds the person standing right in front of him within a few seconds. Before you begin to wonder what a great magician this man must be as you read along, you discover that this man is also an author of many books, and one of his books happens to be the very book The Blessed Virgin Mary and Holy Mother of Jesus came with when She appeared at Idu Karmo, Abuja, Nigeria on the 25th of March 2017 (Feast of the Annunciation of Our Lord) and announced to the crowd that all should look for that book to read. No mysterious person has ever written a book that heaven itself has given approval of in this manner. In one of the books of this man, excerpt of which are contained in this book, he explains that what takes a person to heaven is not the ability to perform great miracles, but rather obedience to the Four UNLESS which Jesus Christ preached about in the Holy Bible: one of which is '' Unless you change and become like little children (known for humility, obedience, and love) you will never enter the kingdom of God''- Matthew 18:3. In another of his book, also contained here, he explains how the dead see, hear, eat and drink. You will also see what he revealed about how one can drastically reduce or even abolish Suffering in one's life, as contained in the holy bible, but hidden from many. You will also see in this book about him the mystery of how he got his first car.
