Cooking the History Books: The Thanksgiving Massacre :...

Rated 07:50am • 1 review • history, native americans • russellmeansfreedom.com

William Newell, a Penobscot Indian and former chair of the anthropology department of the University of Connecticut, claims that the first Thanksgiving was not "a festive gathering of Indians and Pilgrims, but rather a celebration of the massacre of 700 Pequot men, women and children."

Chickasaws Visit President Washington (1794)

Rated Nov 17 • 1 review • history, movies, native americans • ushistory.org

Are you familiar with the name Piomingo? Sadly, hardly anyone is. Piomingo was a Chickasaw leader who befriended the first settlers in middle Tennessee and worked to insure their safety holding his own against more hostile tribes, like the Creek

"At the request of the Chickasaw chiefs, Washington gave Piomingo a written document, setting forth the boundaries of the Chickasaw territory. These coincided exactly with those expressed by Piomingo at the conference in Nashville in 1792. The document stated that the Chickasaw territory was under the protection of the United States and included a warning to its citizens.

They were forbidden to trespass on, injure, or molest Chickasaw persons, lands, hunting grounds, or other rights or property. They were also forbidden to purchase or treat (trade) with the Chickasaws for the title or occupation of any lands held or claimed by them. Washington also said he would "call upon all appropriate citizens to aid and assist in the prosecution and punishment, according to law, of all persons who shall be found offending in the premises."

Rated Aug 23 • 2 reviews • archaeology, native america, history • ucsd.edu

A detailed chronology of the people, places and architecture of meso-america. If you are an American, reading this kind of thing is so much more meaningful than all those 'begats' listed in the OT.

Truthdig - Reports - Looking for Great 'Big History' Books

Rated Aug 11 • 2 reviews • history • truthdig.com

"Big history was introduced in the late 1980s by scholars like David Christian, who make a powerful case that to understand human history, we must look beyond our borders and our species and our planet to "the whole of time."Accordingly, many big history writers begin with the Big Bang, tracing, examining, and compressing the historical record from the beginning to the present as they probe for insights. A well-known explanation of this multidisciplinary approach is found in Fred Spier's The Structure of Big History: From the Big Bang until Today (1996). "
