Extractions: he Olympic Peninsula was an Eden for its early inhabitants. Here was an ocean of fish, shellfish, seals, whales, and seabirds, rivers teeming with salmon and trout, forests abundant with deer, elk, game birds, berries and roots, and trees towering 200 feet high. The Skokomish, Quinault, Quileute, Hoh, Makah, Klallam , and Chehalis tribes lived in a land of abundant natural resources and from it built a rich culture here. The Northwest Coast peoples lived in longhouses , communal homes constructed of cedar and hemlock. They fished and gathered most of their food for the year during spring and summer. During the mild winters, women wove fine baskets, clothing, canoe mats, and even diapers from soft red cedar bark gathered in spring while men carved dugout canoes, beautiful masks, and ceremonial items from red cedar and other trees. Some of the most powerful tribal members were the whale hunters. After elaborate rituals, chiefs and their sons hunted gray whales in canoes with harpoons made of yew wood, whalebone, elk antlers, and sharpened mussel shells. Potlatch Native Americans of the Northwest Coast practiced an interesting social custom called the potlatch . Held to celebrate significant events such as a coming of age or name giving, or to affirm the power and status of a chief or tribe, the potlatch was a feast to which as many as a thousand guests were invited.

Extractions: (Race in Contemporary American Cinema: Part 4) Cineaste v21, n3 (Summer, 1995):34 (2 pages). Every decade, Hollywood studios announce that they have 'reinvented' the Native American genre. Finally, studios say, Indians will be portrayed as accurately as possible; they will now play themselves in major roles and their non-Indian antagonists will be seen in a less than positive light. In short, the old saying that the only good Hollywood Indian is a dead Indian will no longer be valid. This line of reasoning contains several faulty assumptions. During the silent era, the many 'reforms' so grandly proclaimed by contemporary filmmakers were commonplace. Unfortunately, these silent Indian-theme films failed to change dominant cultural values, and they could not withstand the demand for the cowboy-and-Indian attacks by the late 1930s in Westerns like The Plainsman Texas Rangers (1937), and Stagecoach (1939). While numerous books have already discussed these silent films, many have not been readily available to scholars, much less the general public. Now that situation has dramatically changed. The Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress has recently identified more than two hundred fiction and nonfiction films with substantial Native American content.(*) This treasure trove allows us to rethink that early era and to speculate realistically on what later brought about more negative Indian images.
Extractions: The answers to these questions are like recorded history; it all depends on the perspective of the society to which it is addressed. As a result, there is a growing effort to bring history back into focus and to correct many misconceptions about the relationship of Native People, such as us, and the founding of the United States. We were not all killed off by disease or warfare and did not disappear with the colonization of this country. The answers to "what do we want" is simple. We want you to acknowledge that we still exist. Any other ethnic or religious group in the world need only declare their existence. Only the American Indian is required to document genealogy to the beginning of time and blood quantum to show how much real red "Indian" you are. No other ethnic group is held to such high standards to prove who they are. Acknowledgment is of particular importance to us because the dominant governments around us have interfered with the traditional relationships we once had with other Native Peoples. The United States has divided us between those that they acknowledge versus those that they do not. This polarizes Native People to compete and work against one another in many ways.

In an era when many U.S. citizens seem to view minority groups as unwanted intruders who have come to this country to benefit from modern welfare services, it is important to keep in mind the origins of these racial and national groups' relationships with the United States. Native Americans were here before Europeans colonized the Americas. Africans were first brought to the Americas as slaves. Much of what is now the Southwestern United States was annexed from Mexico at the close of the Mexican-American War. Chinese and Japanese labor was imported to build the cross-continental railroad and to work on plantations in Hawaii and in West Coast farms and fisheries.

Extractions: America's Sailing Capital... The Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the United States, has been a source of life, food and fun for thousands of years. Early Native Americans inhabited the shores and survived on the abundant seafood available all year long. I n fact, the name Chesapeake is derived from the Algonquin Indian word meaning great shellfish bay. European settlers used the Bay as a source of trade and commerce, and the port of Annapolis was a constant stream of activity. The Bay was also the site of naval battles during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. T oday, the Chesapeake offers visitors an abundance of activities. You can sail or motor, jet ski or wind surf or try your hand at some of the best fishing on the East Coast with a seasoned Bay charter captain. If relaxing is more your style, head to a sandy beach, put your feet up and watch the ships sail by. Or better yet, experience the Bay aboard a chartered boat, complemented by fabulous dining and overnight accommodations. P icturesque lighthouses dot the horizon, including the Thomas Point Lighthouse, recently named a National Historic Landmark. The view of the United States Naval Academy and Annapolis from the water at sunset is one you dont want to miss.
California Gold, Nativism And Racism had given way to a partisan us American court in California during the gold rushyears were native americans. the States, but only on the west coast did this http://www.duke.edu/~agf2/history391/nativism.html
Extractions: Although racism was at odds with the miners´ democratic structures , it was precisely the lack of a controlling governmental democratic framework that provided a perfect breeding ground for nativism and racism. The discrimination was initially based on some foreigners´ economic superiority. South Americans and Mexicans were far more experienced miners and came to California as teams of peones, day laborers who had to pay back their debts and were sent by their creditors to the mines. These peones brought wage labor into the diggings as realms of independent labor and were often entrenched on more productive placers. The word placer is derived from Spanish and means contendedness or satisfaction. Placers are sites, usually in former or actual river beds, which contain gold in pure, grainy consistence. The Mexican experience with mines reached back into the 17th and 18th centuries, and Mexican mining techniques were at a level that the California mines would not achieve for a long time. Californios, persons of Spanish or Mexican descent who were American citizens by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo beacme victims of racist discrimination after 1848. This indicates that economic jealousy rather than longstanding hatred against Mexicans triggered Anglo Saxon nativism in California. Starting in 1848, Mexicans began to come in larger numbers to California; approximately 8000 arrived, together with 5000 South Americans.

A new addition to these links: Indian Ruins of the Southwest Crazy Horse Memorial LONG BEFORE the white man set foot on American soil, the American Indians, or rather the Native Americans, had been living on this land. When the Europeans came here, there were probably 10 million Indians north of present-day Mexico and they had been living here for quite some time. It is believed that the first people arrived during the last ice-age, approximately 20,000 - 30,000 years ago, crossing the land-bridge at the Bering Sound, from northeastern Siberia into Alaska. The oldest documented Indian cultures in North America are Sandia (15000 BC), Clovis (12000 BC) and Folsom (8000 BC). (Please see an update on 2/11/97 under the NEWSPAGE near the bottom of this page). So, when the Europeans started to arrive in the 16th- and 17th-century they were met by Native mericans, and enthusiastically so. The Natives regarded their white-complexioned visitors as something of a marvel, not only for their outlandish dress and beards and winged ships but even more for their wonderful technology - steel knives and swords, the fire-belching arquebus and cannon, mirrors, hawkbells, earrings, copper and brass kettles, and so on.

Extractions: University of Texas at Dallas There is an interesting symbolic portrayal of Manifest Destiny that shows "Columbia," the great American angel or woman, floating over the plains. Ahead of her, in the West, is a great darkness populated by wild animals. There are bears and wolves and Indian people, who are fleeing her light. In her wake come farms, villages and homesteads and in the back are cities and railroads. As the figure progresses across the land, the light of civilization dispels the darkness of ignorance and barbarity. In this painting, Native American people are portrayed along with the animals and the darkness. They have to be removed before Columbia can bring the prosperity promised to the United States. It's an interesting portrayal and, I think, very symbolic of the thinking of many Americans during the mid-19th century. Another interesting symbol of Manifest Destiny shows a railroad train coming out of the east with smoke billowing out of its boiler. It's moving west, bringing technological enlightenment into the wilderness. Americans in the 19th century and ever since, have equated civilization with technological development, no matter what the cost, particularly in terms of spirit or morality.
