Black Elk Speaks: The Complete Edition

Product Information

Es lūkojos atpakaļ pagātnē un atsaucu atmiņā savas tautas seno dzīvesveidu, bet vairums vairs nedzīvoja tā kā agrāk. Viņi bija uzsākuši iet pa melno ceļu, katrs pats par sevi, ievērojot tikai nedaudzus savus likumus" (194.lp.) During the period 1850 to 1900, a great clash of cultures and civilizations occurred on the high western plains of the United States. One culture was that of the plains Indians, a culture of nomadic, hunter gathers. It was a culture imbued with a mythology that believed the natural world was undergirded by a world in which all creatures including humans and inanimate objects were representations, impowered and interconnected to and by an underlying spiritual world. The other culture, that of white Europeans was a culture that believed that the natural world was separate from the human world, a world meant to be under the dominion and domination of human beings, a world to be extracted from and exploited by humans for the creation of wealth. The denouement of this conflict of cultures was in the end never in doubt but it resulted in one of the more shameful and tragic episodes of American history. Kad no Zemes tika noņemta 4.rase, indiāņiem tika dota iespēja ar šīm zināšanām turpināt būt - tad 25% ar lielāku turpmākās attīstības potenciālu devās uz Dienvidameriku, bet pārejie 75% - uz Ziemeļameriku. Nebija paredzēts, ka šīs zemes iekaros un ar indiāņiem sajauksies/ tās iznīcinās nākamā 5.rase, t.i., mēs, ārieši. My friend, I am going to tell you the story of my life…and if it were only the story of my life I think I would not tell it; for what is one man that he should make much of his winters, even when they bend him like a heavy snow? So many other men have lived and shall live that story, to be grass upon the hills…This, then, is not the tale of a great hunter or of a great warrior, or of a great traveler, although I have made much meat in my time and fought for my people both as boy and man, and have gone far and seen strange lands and men…But now that I can see it all as from a lonely hilltop, I know it was the story of a mighty vision given to a man too weak to use it; of a holy tree that should have flourished in a people’s heart with flowers and singing birds, and now is withered; and of a people’s dream that died in bloody snow. I'm at the point in life where there is little else to linger for save yesterday. This book took me there in spades.

Still, he’s a fascinating subject, and this biography, in my view, does him justice as a flawed man of immense strength and passion who lived through some of the most heart-wrenching and momentous years of American history. I’m tempted to call him a great American, but that would be reductive. He was a great human, and he belongs not only to America but to the whole world. Diemžēl laika gaitā indiāņi ir pakāpeniski kļuvuši par ļoti izkropļotu tautu un vispār nevar salīdzināt ar tās sākotnējo potenciālu.

About the Book

Kā 4.rasei raksturīgais - indiāņi vienīgie šobrīd nav ar verga imprintu/programmu un arī vienīgā tauta, kurai nav alkohola sašķelšanās gēna - viņi pat no vienas glāzes neatiet un, kas ar to aizraujas, ir norakstīti cilvēki. All of the metaphorical + verbal clichés used relative to the time period this was written in are extremely annoying to read repeatedly & makes this feel even more inauthentic & embellished than I already know it is. Tout ce que fait le pouvoir de l'Univers se fait dans un cercle. Le ciel est rond et j'ai entendu dire que la terre est ronde comme une balle et que toutes les étoiles le sont aussi. Les oiseaux font leur nid en cercle parce qu'ils ont la même religion que nous. Le soleil s'élève et redescend dans un cercle, la lune fait de même, et tous deux sont rond. bullet wound he suffered himself—also stayed with him. To his ministry in the Catholic faith he brought firsthand experience Sākotnēji indiāņi tika radīti kā ļoti enerģētiski spējīga un jaudīga tauta, viņi sadarbojās ar stihijām, perfekti pārzināja stihiju valodas kā gari runā, viņi mācēja runāt vēja valodā, zemes valodā utml.

However, they were both successful at the same thing: depicting South Dakota as one of our most beautiful states, a place where young children and their families could both rely on Nature's bounty and be restored by it, in every sense. It is a state I hold so dear to my heart, and both of them have made me love it even more, realizing what it must have been for them. One of the stage presentations was the first 'paying gig' for Wes Studi, with the lead played by none other than David Carradine. [10] See also [ edit ]

Author Bio

Arī šajā grāmatā ir faktu materiāls par to, piemēram, viņi karo pat savā starpā, nogalina, rituālos upurē dzīvniekus, necienīgi izturas pret ienaidnieka līķiem - noskalpē, savāc apģērbu... This is a story from the perspective of indigenous beliefs, born of how they perceived the natural world they had an intimate relationship with. A people with deep respect for the unknowable, that knew well the brightness and darkness inherent in the psyche of all life forms, and that understood the connectedness of all life. That in sharp contrast to so-called civilized peoples that plunder our little blue canoe, blindly driving nails in humankind's coffin. Neihardt, John G (1955). Ich rufe mein Volk: Leben, Traum und Untergang der Ogalalla-Sioux von Schwarzer Hirsch [Übers. von Siegfried Lang] (1st Germaned.). Olten: Walter Verlag. ISBN 3889775411. You have said to me, when I was still young and could hope, that in difficulty I should send a voice four times, once for each quarter of the earth, and you would hear me. The timeline at the end is excellent. Really helps put things in perspective as an easy reference point.

Their connections don't stop there. They were not only two of the most famous people ever to put South Dakota on the map, but they both told their stories, for the first time, in print, in 1932. The author did a thorough job in researching this book and there was plenty of material to pull from. I think some of the chapters such as those covering the Battle at Little Bighorn and Massacre at Wounded Knee have been written better by others but the writing was still good. I think the latter 1/2 of the book was fresh. The author also wrote an excellent epilogue that summarized some of the challenges facing Pine Ridge in modern times. Both books were well-received, but Ms. Wilder's illustrated story of a simple family life was a bigger hit during The Great Depression than a complicated story of the relocation and decimation of an entire race of people.Not coincidentally, perhaps, the book also appears to have had a direct and profound influence on many novels I’ve loved: James Welch’s Fool’s Crow and The Heartsong of Charging Elk; Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony, and my own novel, Will Poole’s Island. Līdz ar indiāņiem vēl tikai ēģiptieši ir pēcatlantīdiešu rase, bet ēģiptiešiem tika atņemtas zināšanas un atstāta jauda, savukārt indiāņiem tika atstātas zināšanas, bet atņemta jauda. That may explain his transformation of the plain-spoken style of the transcript into a somewhat maudlin kind of free verse, seeming to my eyes to be modeled after Goethe's "Sorrows of Young Werther" or the American transcendentalists. And I, to whom so great a vision was given in my youth—you see me now a pitiful old man who has done nothing, for the nation’s hoop is broken and scattered. There is no center any longer, and the sacred tree is dead.

Grandfather, Great Spirit, once more behold me on earth and lean to hear my feeble voice. You lived first, and you are older than all need, older than all prayer. All things belong to you --- the two-leggeds, the four-leggeds, the wings of the air and all green things that live. You have set the powers of the four quarters to cross each other. The good road and the road of difficulties you have made to cross; and where they cross the place is holy. Day in and day out, forever, you are the life of things. Indiāņi ir vienīgā pašlaik dzīvojošā tauta, kura ir pieredzējusi Mu kontinenta sadalīšanos pašlaik esošajos kontinentos, kurai ir atlantīdiešu zināšanas un galvenais - atmiņa par to visu. The way I see it, I can either stop everything and read this book alone for the rest of 2020, or I can finish my challenge like the overachiever I am.

Selected

It's my favorite time of year, and I've got all the liquids in my cauldrons bubbling on the stove: soup, applesauce, Love Potion #9, and my standard Witches Brew (for poisoning). I've made it to the half-way point, and the audio book is now on its way, too, but I had some interesting revelations of my own, while I was reading this important work. With tears running, O Great Spirit, Great Spirit, my Grandfather, with tears running I must say now that the tree has never bloomed. A pitiful old man, you see me here, and I have fallen away and have done nothing. Here at the centre of the world, where you took me when I was young and taught me; here, old, I stand, and the tree is withered, Grandfather, my Grandfather! I could see that the Wasichus did not care for each other the way our people did before the nation’s hoop was broken. They would take everything from each other if they could, and so there were some who had more of everything than they could use, while crowds of people had nothing at all and maybe were starving. They had forgotten that the earth was their mother. It's a sad tale. There were a few helpful and kind people mentioned, like John Neihardt, but the good discovered is minuscule compared to the near total destruction.
