Book Description
From dust jacket: "Who was John Dunn Hunter? Was he a white man who had been kidnapped as a child and raised to manhood by the Osage Indians; who wrote a widely acclaimed account of his captivity that made him the wonder of two continents; whose self appointed mission was to save the American Indian from genocide beyond the Mississippi; and who, finally, was murdered by an Indian as he bravely rallied the scattered forces of his 'Red and White Republic of Fredonia?' Or was John Dunn Hunter a hoax? an arrant imposter who claimed knowledge of the ways of the Indian for enigmatic motives of self aggrandizement?

Going Native Or Going Naive?
Author: Dagmar Wernitznig
Publisher: University Press of America
ISBN: 9780761824954
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
Going Native or Going Naïve? is a critical analysis of an esoteric-Indian movement, called white shamanism. This movement, originating from the 1980's New Age boom, redefines the phenomenon of playing Indian. For white shamans and their followers, Indianness turns into a signifier for cultural cloning. By generating a neo-primitivistic bias, white shamanism utilizes esoteric reconceptualizations of ethnicity and identity. In Going Native or Going Naïve?, a retrospective view on psychohistorical and sociopolitical implications of Indianness and (ig)noble savage metaphors should clarify the prefix neo within postmodern adaptations of primitivism. The appropriation of an Indian simulacrum by white shamans as well as white shamanic disciplines connotes a subtle, yet hazardous form of ethnocentrism. Transcending mere market trends and profit margins, white shamanism epitomizes synthetic/cybernetic acculturations. Through investigating the white shamanic matrix, Going Native or Going Naïve? is intended to make these synthesizing processes more transparent.

Savage Delight
Author: Dan Wylie
Publisher: University of Kwazulu Natal Press
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
"Why have the stories of Shaka developed by white writers from earliest eyewitnesses through to contemporary novelists, poets and historians become so entrenched and uniform despite the evidence? Why have white writers written about Shaka in the way that they have? What does their approach reveal about their own conceptualisations of white identity?" "In answering these questions Savage Delight explores the social and psychological dimensions of the literary mythology of Shaka in an astonishingly coherent genealogy of white writers. A broad survey of how the myth solidified between the 1830s and the present is supported by four case studies of the most influential white writers on Shaka: eyewitnesses Nathaniel Isaacs and Henry Francis Fynn, anthropologist A.T. Bryant, and novelist E.A. Ritter."--BOOK JACKET.

General George Washington issued a directive to "Break the backs of the Iroquois" - the Nations of the NE natives who were impeding the progress of the land grabbers. This is the story of the Seneca tribe who lost not one life nor was one native American captured during 6000 troops chasing 6000 Senecas. A minister, Rev. Arden Lester, abruptly quits the pulpit after 25 years and two divorces. A conflict occurs with a powerful, but flawed, brother and sister of the Seneca tribes. The Senecas utilize an ancient "Medicine" - the ability to be "invisible" - because "aggressors cannot see clearly". White Savages is a political and spiritual quest to find an enemy, then conquer them - or heal with them.
