Legends Traditions and Laws of the Iroquois & History of the Tuscarora Indians

Elias Johnson

Beschreibung

In "Legends, Traditions and Laws of the Iroquois & History of the Tuscarora Indians," Elias Johnson meticulously presents a rich tapestry of Native American heritage, encapsulating the culture, beliefs, and societal structures of the Iroquois and Tuscarora tribes. Through a combination of oral histories, myths, and legal traditions, Johnson employs a narrative style that harmonizes academic rigor with vivid storytelling, reflecting the oral tradition prevalent in Indigenous cultures. The book serves not only as an invaluable historical resource but also as a literary testament to the resilience and vibrancy of Indigenous identity amidst colonial challenges. Elias Johnson, a prominent figure in the study of Native American history, draws upon his deep-rooted commitment to preserving Indigenous narratives. His background and experiences with Native communities undoubtedly informed his scholarly endeavors, as he seeks to elevate Indigenous voices that have often been marginalized in mainstream historiography. Johnson's work is not just an academic pursuit; it is a passionate reclamation of Indigenous agency and culture. I highly recommend this book to scholars, students, and anyone interested in Native American history and culture. Johnson's in-depth exploration of the Iroquois and Tuscarora provides critical insights into the intricate legal and mythological frameworks that have shaped their societies, making it essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the profound legacies of Indigenous peoples.

"On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" aka "Civil Disobedience" is a seminal essay by American transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau, first published in 1849 under the title "Resistance to Civil Government." 
As you listen to the reading of "Civil Disobedience," consider the historical context of mid-19th century America, a time of intense political and moral upheaval. The issues that Thoreau addresses—justice, government, and personal responsibility—are as relevant today as they were during his lifetime.

History of India - The Kashmir...

Kelly Mass

This is a compilation of 2 different titles, which are about the following topics:
1: The Maurya Empire was a South Asian Iron Age historic empire centered in Magadha, created by Chandragupta Maurya in the year 322 before Christ and lasting till 185 before Christ in a loose-knit way. The conquest of the Indo-Gangetic Plain focused the Maurya Empire, and Pataliputra functioned as its capital city (modern-day Patna). Beyond this royal core, the empire's geographical reach was limited by the dedication of army leaders who ruled the armed cities that dot the landscape.
Other than for the far south, the empire briefly controlled the significant city centers and arteries of the Indian subcontinent throughout Ashoka's rule (which was from around 268 to 232 before Christ).
After Ashoka's reign, it sank for practically 50 years before liquifying in 185 before Christ with the murder of Brihadratha by Pushyamitra Shunga and the facility of the Shunga dynasty in Magadha.
2: Kashmir is the Indian subcontinent's northern most geographical area. It is quite different from the rest of India. And till the mid-nineteenth century, "Kashmir" only described the Kashmir Valley, which lies between the Great Mountain Ranges and the Pir Panjal Variety. Today, the word describes the Indian-controlled parts of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, and also the Pakistani-controlled terrain of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, and the Chinese-controlled areas of Aksai Chin and the Trans-Karakoram System.
The Kashmir area ended up being a crucial center of Hinduism and later Buddhism in the first centuries, while Kashmir Shaivism developed later, in the ninth century. This is why so many people attribute significant spiritual meaning to the area. It is no wonder, therefore, that some travelers go to this specific area for spiritual purposes.
