Dahcotah: Life and Legends of the Sioux Around Fort Snelling

Mary H. Eastman

Sinopse

In "Dahcotah: Life and Legends of the Sioux Around Fort Snelling," Mary H. Eastman offers a profound exploration of the Sioux Nation, weaving together personal narrative, historical account, and cultural commentary. Written in the 19th century, the book showcases a vivid literary style, characterized by rich descriptions and emotive storytelling that illuminate the complexities of Sioux life during a period of significant change. Eastman's work serves as both an ethnographic study and a poignant reflection on the interplay between indigenous culture and Euro-American encroachment, capturing the essence of the Sioux's rich oral traditions and legends as they coexisted with the encroaching settlers at Fort Snelling. Mary H. Eastman, a prominent figure in American literature and the wife of an Indian agent, was deeply immersed in the cultural tensions of her time, which provided her with unique perspectives on Native American life. Her personal experiences and connections with the Sioux community, coupled with her sensitivity to their struggles, are woven into the narratives she presents. As a female author in a male-dominated literary era, Eastman's work stands out for its empathetic portrayal of a marginalized culture, challenging prevailing stereotypes of her time. I highly recommend "Dahcotah" to readers interested in American history, indigenous studies, or ethnography. Eastman's insights provide a nuanced understanding of Sioux culture and the impact of colonialism, making this book an essential read for anyone seeking to grasp the intricate relationship between Native American tribes and European settlers.

From Penal Colony to Paper...

Ylia Callan

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
From its very beginnings as a penal colony, Australia's justice system was designed not for fairness, but for control. From Penal Colony to Paper Justice investigates how this history continues to shape modern courts, laws, and policing. 
This hard-hitting exposé explores: 
The colonial foundations of punishment and control. 
How British legal traditions still dominate an "independent" nation. 
The role of judges, police, and public servants in maintaining the system. 
Real-world cases that reveal systemic injustice. 
The cost to ordinary citizens - financial, social and personal. 
Practical solutions for a fairer, more transparent legal system. 
Blending history, analysis, and shocking examples, this book challenges the illusion of equality before the law. It shows how justice often functions as "paper justice" - words and procedures that protect power while leaving ordinary people vulnerable. 
Engaging, uncompromising, and thought-provoking, this audiobook is for anyone who wants to understand the truth behind Australia’s justice system - and what must change for it to finally deliver justice for all.

The Heart Sutra - Becoming a...

Osho

The Heart Sutra , originally a very short set of verses, was given in privacy as a message to one of Buddha's close disciples, Sariputra, specifically addressed to him. Over time the Heart Sutra became one of Buddhism's core teachings.
In these 10 talks, Osho presents the powerful message of these ancient words and brings them to a modern audience - one with different minds and needs than the original audiences of Buddha more than 2,500 years ago. Osho's message is not about Buddha the historical figure; instead he addresses his listeners and encourages them to discover their own inner realities, their own buddhahood. Like Buddha's, Osho's message is about meditation and meditation alone - "rely only on your meditation and nothing else".
Osho also speaks on the seven chakras, the energy centers of the human body, and their corresponding relationships to the physical, psychosomatic, psychological, psychospiritual, spiritual, spiritual-transcendental, and transcendental aspects of human growth and consciousness.
1. The Buddha Within
2. Surrender Is Understanding
3. Negation of Knowledge
4. Understanding: The Only Law
5. The Fragrance of Nothingness
6. Don't Be Too Sane
7. Full Emptiness
8. The Path of Intelligence
9. Gone, Gone, Gone Beyond!
10. Truth Is a Presence
