Sinopse

Plains Winds Dance challenges conventional understandings of Plains tribes by exploring their sophisticated agricultural practices and their importance to cultural identity. Far from being solely nomadic hunters, these indigenous communities skillfully cultivated crops, integrating farming into their spiritual beliefs and social structures. For example, specific crop cultivation techniques were often tied to seasonal rituals, demonstrating the deep connection between the environment and their way of life.

 
The book examines how historical forces, including intertribal relations and European contact, shaped these farming practices. Oral histories, archaeological evidence, and ethnobotanical studies are interwoven to present a nuanced historical narrative.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the geographical and cultural context of the Plains tribes, then detailing their agricultural methods and the cultural significance of farming, and finally analyzing the impact of historical interactions.

 
The book's unique value lies in highlighting the agency and adaptability of the Plains Indians, offering a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of their history.

First In Last Out - An American...

John D Howard

A Vietnam veteran recounts his experience through two tours of duty—early in the conflict and then in its final stages. Fresh out of West Point, John Howard arrived for his first tour in Vietnam in 1965, the first full year of escalation when U.S. troop levels increased dramatically, from 23,000 to 184,000. When Howard returned for a second tour in 1972, troop strength stood at 24,000 and would dwindle to a mere fifty the following year. He thus participated in the very early and very late stages of American military involvement in the Vietnam War.   Howard’s two tours—the first as a platoon commander and member of an elite counterguerrilla force, and the second as a senior advisor to the South Vietnamese—provide a fascinating lens through which to view not only one soldier’s experience in Vietnam, but also the country’s.
