Los Sioux

Autor: Irene Handl

Número de Páginas: 180

Los Benoir componen una aristocrática y excéntrica familia que, debido a sus altas cotas de esnobismo, se ve arrastrada hacia las situaciones más desconcertantes. Un nuevo miembro acaba de llegar a sus filas después de que la bella y prepotente Marguerite "Mimí" Benoir, se haya casado con todo un caballero: Vincent Castleton, que aporta al matrimonio su flema inglesa y un toque cockney. Ella, a su vez, lleva consigo a George, un niño de 9 años fruto de un primer enlace con un primo fallecido en un desgraciado accidente. Junto a una enorme fortuna, el pequeño ha heredado una terrible enfermedad y un soberbio carácter. Margaret Drabble opinaba de Los Sioux que era "extrañamente inquietante", Daphne du Maurier que era "compulsiva", y Noël Coward la consideraba la "obra de un auténtico genio".

Peyote and the Yankton Sioux

Autor: Thomas Constantine Maroukis

Número de Páginas: 422

In Peyote and the Yankton Sioux, Thomas Constantine Maroukis focuses on Yankton Sioux spiritual leader Sam Necklace, tracing his family’s history for seven generations. Through this history, Maroukis shows how Necklace and his family shaped and were shaped by the Native American Church. Sam Necklace was chief priest of the Yankton Sioux Native American Church from 1929 to 1949, and the four succeeding generations of his family have been members of the Church. As chief priest, Necklace helped establish the Peyote religion firmly among the Yankton, thus maintaining cultural and spiritual autonomy even when the U.S. government denied them, and American Indians generally, political and economic self-determination. Because the message of peyotism resonated with Yankton pre-reservation beliefs and, at the same time, had parallels with Christianity, Sam Necklace and many other Yankton supported its acceptance. The Yanktons were among the first northern-plains groups to adopt the Peyote religion, which they saw as an essential corpus of spiritual truths.

Recuerdos de una india sioux

Habituados a la visión que de los indios norteamericanos nos han ofrecido el cine y la literatura estadounidenses, siempre obra de autores de raza blanca, la visión que una genuina nativa del pueblo dakota nos da de las costumbres y tragedias de este pueblo, no deja de ser de entrada subyugante, y aún más si el personaje es mujer. El resultado es poderoso si, además, es una escritora de raza quien nos documenta sobre ese universo enigmático, siendo capaz de transmitirnos las inflexiones peculiares de la rica y secreta lengua de su pueblo

The Ghost-dance Religion and the Sioux Outbreak of 1890

Autor: James Mooney

Número de Páginas: 568

Responding to the rapid spread of the Ghost Dance among tribes of the western United States in the early 1890s, James Mooney set out to describe and understand the phenomenon. He visited Wovoka, the Ghost Dance prophet, at his home in Nevada and traced the progress of the Ghost Dance from place to place, describing the ritual and recording the distinctive song lyrics of seven separate tribes. His classic work (first published in 1896 and here reprinted in its entirety for the first time) includes succinct cultural and historical introductions to each of those tribal groups and depicts the Ghost Dance among the Sioux, the fears it raised of an Indian outbreak, and the military occupation of the Sioux reservations culminating in the tragedy at Wounded Knee. Seeking to demonstrate that the Ghost Dance was a legitimate religious movement, Mooney prefaced his study with a historical survey of comparable millenarian movements among other American Indian groups. In addition to his work on the Ghost Dance, James Mooney is best remembered for his extraordinarily detailed studies of the Cherokee Indians of the Southeast and the Kiowa and other tribes of the southern plains, and for his...

Lakota Sioux Missions, South Dakota

Autor: Janice Brozik Cerney

Número de Páginas: 132

President U.S. Grant's national Peace Policy of 1869 set in motion the South Dakota Missionary movement. The peace plan assigned one religious denomination to each Indian Reservation to 'Christianize and civilize' the Indian. When religious groups protested the government's policy of exclusion, the limitations of the policy were lifted in 1881. Soon thereafter, many denominations were allowed to establish missions where they wanted. Soon missions, churches, and schools of many different Christian affiliations dotted the reservations, often within a few miles of one another. In Lakota Sioux Missions, over two hundred historical photographs illustrate the story of the mission era, its intended policy of assimilation, the resistance to change, and eventual compromise.

The Last Days of the Sioux Nation

Autor: Robert Marshall Utley

Número de Páginas: 357

This fascinating account tells what the Sioux were like when they first came to their reservation and how their reaction to the new system eventually led to the last confrontation between the Army and the Sioux at the Battle of Wounded Knee Creek. A classic work, it is now available with a new preface by the author that discusses his current thoughts about a tragic episode in American history that has raised much controversy through the years. Praise for the earlier edition: "History as lively and gripping as good fiction." "One of the finest books on the Indian wars of the West."--Montana "A well-told, easily read account that will be the standard reference for this phase of the Indian 'problem.'"--American Historical Review "A major job . . . magnificently researched."--San Francisco Chronicle "By far the best treatment of the complex and controversial relationship between the Sioux and their conquerors yet presented and should be must reading for serious students of Western Americana."--St. Louis Dispatch (on the earlier edition) Winner of the Buffalo Award

The Plains Sioux and U.S. Colonialism from Lewis and Clark to Wounded Knee

Autor: Jeffrey Ostler

Número de Páginas: 412

This volume, first published in 2004, presents an overview of the history of the Plains Sioux as they became increasingly subject to the power of the United States in the 1800s. Many aspects of this story - the Oregon Trail, military clashes, the deaths of Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, and the Ghost Dance - are well-known. Besides providing fresh insights into familiar events, the book offers an in-depth look at many lesser-known facets of Sioux history and culture. Drawing on theories of colonialism, the book shows how the Sioux creatively responded to the challenges of US expansion and domination, while at the same time revealing how US power increasingly limited the autonomy of Sioux communities as the century came to a close. The concluding chapters of the book offer a compelling reinterpretation of the events that led to the Wounded Knee massacre of December 29, 1890.

Sioux City Railroads

Autor: Rudolph Daniels

Número de Páginas: 132

Toward the end of the 19th century, railroads transformed Sioux City from a western outpost to one of the fastest-growing municipalities in the world. Prior to the arrival of the railroads, Sioux City depended on the Missouri River for transportation. The Missouri, however, was not dependable because of flooding and droughts. As an all-season mode of transportation, the railroads permitted the flourishing of the meatpacking industry in Sioux City. In fact, it was the large number of different railroad companies that made Sioux City a major agricultural center rather than just another county seat or market town. Trains carried cattle and hogs to the plants and then carted away the Sioux City-processed products to the nation and to the world.

The Sicangu (burnt thighs) received their name when some of the Lakota peoples' legs were burned in a great prairie fire.

Sioux City's Grand Avenue Viaduct, 1936-2010

Autor: Jennifer A. Price

Número de Páginas: 24

For almost 75 years, the Grand Avenue Viaduct (known today as the Gordon Drive Viaduct) has been a familiar feature of Sioux City's urban landscape. With the exception of bridges over the Mississippi River, the Grand Avenue Viaduct is Iowa's longest grade separation as well as its longest bridge. For nearly a mile, from the eastern suburbs west to the central business district, the viaduct carries Gordon Drive and the city route of U.S. 20 over the Floyd River valley, which includes the remnants of the city's famed stockyards and the South Bottoms neighborhood, as well as a maze of railroad tracks and the present channel of the Floyd River. Constructed in 1937 and known simply as "The Viaduct" to local residents, the massive structure is as fundamental to Sioux City as were its stockyards just a few decades ago.
