Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - American Indigenous Democracy: A Call for Interdependence serves as a welcoming volume for a much needed conversation about the origins of our founding documents and more importantly, about the wisdom of Native American ways of living and how they can be applied as an alternative to our present political dilemmas. Through eighteen eloquent essays, we hear contemporary Haudenosaunee leaders and scholars speak about life in present-day reservations, and most importantly, about the Great Law of Peace, the unifying code of governance that united these once warring tribes into one of the most formidable, and truly democratic league of nations that the continent had ever witnessed. American Indigenous Democracy: A Call for Interdependence invites us to look back and outside of our cultural, social, and political box in order to move ourselves and our country towards a more just and peaceful place.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The fifteen essays and articles in the pages of Cuba: Indigeneity: The Cacique's Orality and Other Taino Trails highlight four decades of tireless research and relationships cultivated by José Barreiro (Hatuey) with descendant communities of Cuba's Indigenous people. As a novelist, essayist, journalist, indigeneity activist and director of the Office for Latin America at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian for a decade, nobody is more qualified to bring to life the history and influence of the Taíno in the past and present evolution of Cuban society.The cacique, or chief, in the subtitle of this book refers to Francisco 'Panchito' Ramírez Rojas of eastern Cuba, a respected elder and hereditary chief with whom the author developed a strong friendship and working partnership of over thirty years. With Cacique Panchito and others, Barreiro traversed Cuba to find and document the cacique's large extended kin known as la Gran Familia. A family with thousands of members, the Gran Familia spreads throughout the island, proudly 'indio' and also profoundly Cuban. Weaving together interviews, personal experiences and research, the author eloquently outlines the persistence of the almost invisible and seldom acknowledged Indigenous legacy in Cuban popular culture. He also skillfully dismantles not just the myth of extinction, but also the imaginary, but persistent line separating what we may consider the Cuban national ethos from its strongly rooted Indigenous origin. As Cacique Panchito states, 'el indio' is here, rooted, and manifested in the country's history before the European colonial invasion, in the Cuban Wars of Independence from Spain, and later Revolution, influencing the heart and mind of national heroes such as José and Antonio Maceo, and José Martí. It's in the food, it's in the culture, it's in 'lo cubano,' Panchito insists. With this work, and after dedicating his extensive career to sociocultural issues and to the defense and well-being of Indigenous peoples of the American hemisphere, Barreiro returns home.…
