Book Description
The Tribes and the States is a history of the indigenous peoples of New England and the effect they exerted on the governments and civic systems that emerged in pre and post revolutionary America. Written by child prodigy William James Sidis, the book contends that American democracy has been shaped largely by the various native peoples European colonists encountered as they settled the continent. Completed in 1936, The Tribes and the States is still a unique, progressive and under-acknowledged history of the United States.---TABLE OF CONTENTSCHAPTER I - RED RACE PRE-HISTORY - Source of the Red Race - The Cro-Magnons - AtlantisCHAPTER II - THE RED MAN IN AMERICA - The Different Red Stocks - Tribe, Phratry, and Gens - Equality and Democracy - War and Peace - The Penacook PeoplesCHAPTER III PRE-FEDERATE EVENTS - Events in the Interior - Pre-Federate Transatlantic Communication - The Iroquois - Lines of CommunicationCHAPTER IV THE IROQUOIS FEDERATION - Dagonoweda's Plan - Formation of the Federation - Iroquois Empire and Counter-Federation - Federation as a New DepartureCHAPTER V THE GREAT WHITE INVASION - An Invading Race - Rights of Conquest and Discovery - French Invasion - British Invasions - White AdministrationsCHAPTER VI THE PENACOOK FEDERATION - The Pilgrims - Samoset's Welcome - The Iroquois Attack - Passaconaway - The Penacook Federation - Federability of the Penacook Federation - Defeat of the IroquoisCHAPTER VII PISCATAQUA AND MASADCHU - Invasion of the Piscataqua - The Paumonok Islands - Growth of the Pilgrim Colony - The Puritan Invasion - The Puritans and Their Neighbors - The Head of Massachusetts Bay - The Iroquois AllianceCHAPTER VIII THE PENACOOK PEACE - The Peace of 1634 - Elsewhere in America - Invasion of the Quinnitucket - Extension of the Bay Colony - Apostle Eliot - Narragansett Bay SettlementsCHAPTER IX THE LAST OF THE PEQUOTS - Federation on the Quinnitucket - The Pequot War - Puritan Re-Migration - Puritan Revolt in England - New HavenCHAPTER X THE NEW ENGLAND CONFEDERATION - Difficulties with the Dutch -New England Federation46 Annexation of the Piscataqua47 New Sects48 Conquest of the South49 The Middle RegionsCHAPTER XI UNDER RESTORED MONARCHY50 American Policy of the Restored Stuarts51 The Penacook Country at the Restoration52 The Duke of York's Claims53 New Settlement in Carolina54 Punishing New England55 New York's Border ConflictsCHAPTER XII METACOM'S WAR56 Bashaba Metacom57 Plymouth Resents Metacom58 Reconquest of Paumonok59 Effect of the Penacook Federation60 War Against Plymouth61 Converts and Adoptees62 The Defeat of the Tribes63 Rebellion in VirginiaCHAPTER XIII QUAKER SETTLEMENT64 The Keystone Colony65 Starting the Quaker Colony66 Massachusetts's Charter Disputes67 Extension of the Keystone TerritoryCHAPTER XIV THE ANDROS REGIME68 New York's Overlord Becomes King69 New York Annexes New England70 Witchcraft71 Rebellion Against Andros72 The Rebellion SpreadsCHAPTER XV REBEL PROVINCES73 Rebel Provinces74 Father Rasles75 The Hudson Valley Is Attacked76 The Rebel Governments77 Scalping Bounties78 Down the Mississippi79 End of the Rebel GovernmentsCHAPTER XVI INTERCOLONIAL STRUGGLES80 The Peace of 169781 Louisiana82 The English Colonies after the Partition83 The Acadian War84 Wars Against the Tribes85 A Thirteenth Colony86 Religious Reform87 The Georgian WarCHAPTER XVII THE GREAT OHIO WAR88 Canessetago and Franklin89 Expulsion of the Acadians90 The Lanapes' New Home91 French Expansion in the Interior92 Virginia's Ohio Expedition93 The Great Ohio War Starts94 Iroquois Territory Invaded95 Amherst's Smallpox96 Capture of Canada97 The Peace of 1763...

The Tribes and the States
Author: Brad A. Bays
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Arguing that the greatest threat to Native American sovereignty in the United States can arguably be said to come from state governments and courts, Bays (geography, Oklahoma State U.) and Fouberg (geography, Mary Washington College) present nine contributions that explore tribal-state relations as it pertains to land use and ownership and other geographical issues. Much of the material analyzes case studies of particular litigations or cooperative programs between the states and the tribes, including jurisdiction and diminishment in South Dakota, the geographic expansion of Indian gaming, the territorial politics of environmental protection, transportation politics in Washington, and cooperative management of the allocation of Pacific Salmon.

Tribal Constitutionalism
Author: Kirsty Gover
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0199587094
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Recognized tribes are increasingly prominent players in settler state governance, but in the wide-ranging debates about tribal self-governance, little has been said about tribal self-constitution. Who are the members of tribes, and how are they chosen? Tribes in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States are now obliged to adopt written constitutions as a condition of recognition, and to specify the criteria used to select members. Tribal Constitutionalism presents findings from a comparative study of nearly eight hundred current and historic tribal constitutions, most of which are not in the public domain. Kirsty Gover examines the strategies adopted by tribes and states to deal with the new legal distinction between indigenous people (defined by settler governments) and tribal members (defined by tribal governments). She highlights the important fact that the two categories are imperfectly aligned. Many indigenous persons are not tribal members, and some tribal members are not legally indigenous. Should legal indigenous status be limited to persons enrolled in recognized tribes? What is to be done about the large and growing proportion of indigenous peoples who are not enrolled in a tribe, and do not live near their tribal territories? This book approaches these complex questions head-on. Using tribal membership criteria as a starting point, this book provides a critical analysis of current political and sociolegal theories of tribalism and indigeneity, and draws on legal doctrine, policy, demographic data and tribal practice to provide a comparative evaluation of tribal membership governance in the western settler states.

A History of the Indians of the United States
Author: Angie Debo
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806179554
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 477
Book Description
In 1906 when the Creek Indian Chitto Harjo was protesting the United States government's liquidation of his tribe's lands, he began his argument with an account of Indian history from the time of Columbus, "for, of course, a thing has to have a root before it can grow." Yet even today most intelligent non-Indian Americans have little knowledge of Indian history and affairs those lessons have not taken root. This book is an in-depth historical survey of the Indians of the United States, including the Eskimos and Aleuts of Alaska, which isolates and analyzes the problems which have beset these people since their first contacts with Europeans. Only in the light of this knowledge, the author points out, can an intelligent Indian policy be formulated. In the book are described the first meetings of Indians with explorers, the dispossession of the Indians by colonial expansion, their involvement in imperial rivalries, their beginning relations with the new American republic, and the ensuing century of war and encroachment. The most recent aspects of government Indian policy are also detailed the good and bad administrative practices and measures to which the Indians have been subjected and their present situation. Miss Debo's style is objective, and throughout the book the distinct social environment of the Indians is emphasized—an environment that is foreign to the experience of most white men. Through ignorance of that culture and life style the results of non-Indian policy toward Indians have been centuries of blundering and tragedy. In response to Indian history, an enlightened policy must be formulated: protection of Indian land, vocational and educational training, voluntary relocation, encouragement of tribal organization, recognition of Indians' social groupings, and reliance on Indians' abilities to direct their own lives. The result of this new policy would be a chance for Indians to live now, whether on their own land or as adjusted members of white society. Indian history is usually highly specialized and is never recorded in books of general history. This book unifies the many specialized volumes which have been written about their history and culture. It has been written not only for persons who work with Indians or for students of Indian culture, but for all Americans of good will.

Tribes and States in a Changing Middle East
Author: Uzi Rabi
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 9780190264925
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
At the outset of the twenty-first century and in the midst of the Arab Spring, tribe-state relations are a useful frame of reference through which to analyze the Middle East on a state-by-state basis. Tribes and States in a Changing Middle East looks beyond the dichotomy between tribe and state. Its central theme is the role of tribes and tribalism in state politics, society, and identity, as demonstrated in case studies from the Arab East (mashriq). The book is a comparative endeavour that seeks to address questions related to the interplay between tribal organizations and state institutions, tribal solidarity and nationalism, and tribal power and the centralized government. It further discusses the impact and role of tribal polities in modern states in times of regional and national turmoil.

The Origins of Democracy in Tribes, City-States and Nation-States
Author: Ronald M. Glassman
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319516957
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1721
Book Description
This four-part work describes and analyses democracy and despotism in tribes, city-states, and nation states. The theoretical framework used in this work combines Weberian, Aristotelian, evolutionary anthropological, and feminist theories in a comparative-historical context. The dual nature of humans, as both an animal and a consciously aware being, underpins the analysis presented. Part One covers tribes. It uses anthropological literature to describe the “campfire democracy” of the African Bushmen, the Pygmies, and other band societies. Its main focus is on the tribal democracy of the Cheyenne, Iroquois, Huron, and other tribes, and it pays special attention to the role of women in tribal democracies. Part Two describes the city-states of Mesopotamia, Syria, and Canaan-Phoenicia, and includes a section on the theocracy of the Jews. This part focuses on the transition from tribal democracy to city-state democracy in the ancient Middle East – from the Sumerian city-states to the Phoenician. Part Three focuses on the origins of democracy and covers Greece—Mycenaean, Dorian, and the Golden Age. It presents a detailed description of the tribal democracy of Archaic Greece – emphasizing the causal effect of the hoplite-phalanx military formation in egalitarianizing Greek tribal society. Next, it analyses the transition from tribal to city-state democracy—with the new commercial classes engendering the oligarchic and democratic conflicts described by Plato and Aristotle. Part Four describes the Norse tribes as they contacted Rome, the rise of kingships, the renaissance of the city-states, and the parliamentary monarchies of the emerging nation-states. It provides details of the rise of commercial city states in Renaissance Italy, Hanseatic Germany and the Netherlands.
