Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This collection of notable speeches by early-day leaders of twenty-two Indian tribes adds a new dimension to our knowledge of the original Americans and their own view of the tide of history engulfing them.Little written record of their oratory exists, although Indians made much use of publics address. Around the council fires tribal affairs were settled without benefit of the written word, and young men attended to hear the speeches, observe their delivery, and consider the weight of reasoned argument.Some of the early white men who traveled and lived among the Indians left transcriptions of tribal council meetings and speeches, and other orations were translated at treaty council meetings with delegates of the United States government. From these scattered reports and the few other existing sources this book presents a reconstruction of contemporary thought of the leading men of many tribes.Chronologically, the selections range from the days of early contact with the whites in the 1750's to a speech by Quanah Parker in 1910. Several of the orations were delivered at the famous Medicine Lodge Council in 1867.A short biography of each orator states the conditions under which the speeches were made, locates the place of the council or meeting, and includes a photograph or copy of a painting of the speaker.Speakers chosen to represent the tribes at treaty council were all orators of great natural ability, well trained in the Indian oral traditions. Acutely conscious that they were the selected representatives of their people, these men delivered eloquent, moving speeches, often using wit and sarcasm to good effect. They were well aware of all the issues involved, and they bargained with great statesmanship for survival of their traditional way of life.…

Softcover. Zustand: Fair. Anmerkungen / beschriftet / Stempel; Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten. This collection of notable speeches by early leaders of twenty-two Indian tribes enriches our understanding of the original Americans and their perspectives on the historical changes they faced. Although little written record exists of their oratory, public address was vital to tribal life, with council fires serving as venues for settling affairs without written documentation. Young men learned by listening to speeches, observing delivery, and weighing arguments. Early white settlers who lived among the tribes transcribed some council meetings, while other speeches were translated during treaty councils with U.S. government delegates. This book reconstructs the contemporary thoughts of prominent tribal leaders from the 1750s to a speech by Quanah Parker in 1910, including several orations from the notable Medicine Lodge Council of 1867. Each orator is accompanied by a short biography detailing the context of their speeches, the meeting locations, and visual representations of the speakers. The chosen representatives were skilled orators, deeply aware of their roles and adept in the Indian oral traditions. Their eloquent speeches, often infused with wit and sarcasm, reflected their understanding of the complex issues at hand as they negotiated for the survival of their traditional way of life. …
