Native American Books
Books of the Native Americans are fascinating to read, with rich history of the old ways of the Indians to the modern day Native Americans that live on or off reservations.
Native Americans in the United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska. They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive as intact political communities. There has been a wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous members as to what they prefer. They have been known as American Indians, Indians, Amerindians, Amerinds, or Indigenous, Aboriginal, Original Americans, Red Indians, or red men.

Sacred Spirit: Chants and Dances of the Native AmericansReviewsYou feel the sacredness of spirit and you feel the spirit of the sacred ones before you. An amazing selection. Calms my nerves when I'm overwhelmed. Timeless and mystical. They cross chants with orchestrated music. If you havent heard the music itself, Id recommend you checking youtube, type the cd and song to listen to the MVs created. If you like it, buy it, if not, dont.^_^ I heard the song(Lay-O-Lay Ale Loya) on a old jazz radiostation 106.7 that came on at midnight. I fell in love with the many songs played on the station. One was from this cd, I bought it on cassette and it was lost. I do plan to buy the cd. I like the music and the haunting songs that still captivate me. I caught myself humming Dawa and someone said to me 'thats from sacred spirits.' I love this CD, i used to always listen to it on the casette, now i finally have it on this CD. i highly suggest it Well done album. The new age approach to these "timeless chants" imbues a quality of surrealism that both confuses and assures us. I was touched deep in my spirit by some of the cuts. I almost felt I could see totemic immages, floating in the sky and looking down upon me, during some of the cuts! Pretty deep and pretty cool stuff.... Marc Waszkiewicz Bremerton, Washington I suppose I had been expecting a CD of chants and dances -- just raw. Instead, the songs have a new age-type production. But they're nicely done, and I'm happy with the purchase. Still looking for something a little closer to the real thing, though. Average Rating: |

Sacred Spirit: Chants and Dances of the Native Americans is an 11-song journey bridging the gap between ancient and contemporary history, tradition and modern instrumentation. While it is impossible to fully realize such scope on a single disc, Sacred Spirit makes the choice to represent all indigenous Americans rather than become mired in the potentially divisive bog of politics and tribal allegiance... |

Tribal Winds: Music From Native American FlutesReviewsI am in love with Native American Music flutes etc. Was very happy to find this one. Very, Very nice. Listen to it all the time. Would highly recommed it to anyone out there who need a little peaceful music at the end of the day. This album presents a nice sampling of Native American artists. Every cut is top-notch, and the music is basically Native American flute, chant, and drumming. There are minimal sound effects. Some similar albums embed the Native American music in a smooth jazz or new age "nature" format, which may or may not work for you. In any case, Tribal Winds is strong enough to stand on its own with being framed in any other context. If you even so much as like N.A. music, you'll love this CD. The best I've ever heard. Very relaxing and poignant. I recently purchased Tribal Winds, and I have to say that I have several native american CD's and this one is by far one of my favorites. This has a good variety of artists so you get a nice mix of some beautiful flute music. Sometimes one artist can get a little redundant, so I liked the variety on this CD and would recommend it if you like this type of music. Average Rating: |

Mythic Dreamer: Music For Native American FluteReviewsBeautiful Native American Flute. Nakai manages to produce one of the best recordings extant. I have several Nakai CD's and this is another beautiful work. I play it at work all day long. Another wonderful addition to my cd library. I like the sound of Carlos Nakai and the far West. Thank you. Highly recommended! I heard this beautiful music in the Cliff Dwelling museum in Colorado Springs (Manitou), CO and immediately had to purchase it. You can hear the history and be taken back in time with this music. It's theraputic and even the kids calm when it's played. What can i say he is the master of the Native American flute Average Rating: |

This collection of traditional and new melodies for solo Native American flute continues R. Carlos Nakai's exploration of this expressive instrument. Returning to traditional roots, he presents eleven arrangements of Zuni, Lakota, Kiowa and Cheyenne melodies along with seven original compositions and a work by composer by James DeMars... |

PocahontasReviewsthis is the WORST disney movie i have ever seen and its got cheesy singing, a stupid storyline and is VERY stereotypical of native americans and its an overall failure. The movie becomes incredibly predictable and is NOT entertaining the say the least. This provider shipped the product quickly and everything appeared to be in wonderful condition, but halfway through the movie one entire scene kept skipping and freezing so the experience was ruined. I also wish I had known that none of the extra scenes would be included in the bonus features. I wish I could say everything was great but I was very disappointed. : ( Ha ha, a gift for my 18 yr old. Avatar is repeat of this classic Disney tale. No problems. It was new as promised and came a lot quicker than I expected. I ordered a couple days before Christmas, and received it within 5 days. My Granddaughter Loves It and that's who I bought it for, so that is perfect. Personally, I think it's a pretty good cartoon movie myself. Average Rating: |

Tensegrity Volume 1 [VHS]ReviewsWow! I was not aware Tensegrity videos existed till I saw them on amazon.com. I am very excited about Volume 1, it has helped me to perform the Tensegrity movements correctly. These movements truly make you feel good and more energized. I am very happy to see these movements are different ones from the ones in "Magical Passes" book. I recommend this video to anyone interested on starting Tensegrity. I have PAL version of this cassette, but I think that that is not important for reviewing it.This is the first of 3 cassettes that present movement system proposed by Carlos Castaneda. The movemets looks like Tai-Chi but with more powerful punches and movements.This video contains 12 basic movements for well-being. This video is a succinct and pragmatic guide to wiser usage of the bodies natural energy dispersal patterns. As an M.D., I often encounter patients who are far too stagnant and content to let their bodies kineseological range go unexplored.The "Tensegrity" video series is a wonderful tool for total use of our energies.

Not all Native Americans reside in the contiguous 48 states. Some live in Alaska or insular regions. These other indigenous peoples, including Alaskan Native groups such as the Inupiaq, Yupik Eskimos, and Aleuts, are not always counted as Native Americans. The Census 2000 demographics listed "American Indian and Alaskan Native" collectively. Native Hawaiians and various other Pacific Islander American peoples, such as the Chamorros (Chamoru) of Guam, can also be considered Native American in a broad sense but such a designation is not commonly made.
Most of the historical record is about Native Americans and their contact with Europeans in the continental 48 United States. The first known major contact between Native Americans and Europeans in what is now known as the United States occurred in the early 1500s when Conquistadors Ponce de León and Hernando de Soto ventured into the area now referred to as the American Deep South.
The earliest recorded date of Native Americans becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the ratification of the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. They were the first non-European racial minority group to become citizens of the United States. However, it wasn't until The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, that U.S. citizenship was granted entirely to America's indigenous peoples, called "Indians" in this Act.
The European colonization of the Americas nearly obliterated the populations and cultures of the Native Americans. From the 16th through the 19th centuries, the population of Native Americans in what became the United States suffered in the following ways: epidemic diseases brought from Europe along with violence at the hands of European explorers and colonists; displacement from their lands; internal warfare, enslavement; and a high rate of intermarriage. Most mainstream scholars believe that, among the various contributing factors, epidemic disease was the overwhelming cause of the population decline of the American natives because of their lack of immunity to new diseases brought from Europe.
