American Indians of the Pacific Northwest
[Llibre]
ELS INDIS AMERICANS
Elizabeth Von Aderkas. Il—lustracions de Christa Hook.
Oxford : Osprey, 2005. – ISBN : 1841767417.
The Indian tribes of the Pacific Northwest, both on the Coast and the
inland Plateau, were the last to encounter white traders and settlers.
When contact occured in the late 18th century the explorers and
traders found two distinct cultures. The fairly recent adoption of the
horse had opened the Plateau tribes to influences from the peoples of
the Plains; but the tribes of the Coast presented a sharply different
picture, involving rigid class hierarchies, an economy based on fishing
and hunting marine animals, and frequent intertribal warfare which
involved slave raiding and head hunting. This fascinating text describes
the ways of life, in peace and war, of the coastal and inland peoples of
this region.
American Woodland Indians
[Llibre]
Michael Johnson. Il—lustracions de Richard Hook.
Oxford : Osprey, 2009. – (Men-at-arms ; 228). – ISBN : 0850459990.
The Woodland cultural areas of the eastern half of America has been
the most important in shaping its history. This volume details the
history, culture and conflicts of the 'Woodland' Indians, a name
assigned to all the tribes living east of the Mississippi River between
the Gulf of Mexico and James Bay, including the Siouans, Iroquians,
and Algonkians. In at least three major battles between Indian and
Euro-American military forces more soldiers were killed than at the
battle of Little Bighorn in 1876, when George Custer lost his command.
With the aid of numerous illustrations and photographs, including eight
full page colour plates by Richard Hook, this title explores the history
and culture of the American Woodland Indians.

Atlas of the North American Indian
[Llibre]
Carl Waldman.
New York : Checkmark Books, 2009. – ISBN : 0816068593.
North America has been home to thousands of cultures, each with its
own traditions, languages, and stories. The first people to travel across
the Bering Strait from Asia to North America established societies that
expanded and evolved over thousands of years, independent of outside
influence. However, beginning in the 15th century, the arrival of
European colonists, who brought with them their own languages,
cultures, weapons, and diseases, transformed the lives of Native
peoples and the land of North America forever.

Nouvelle-France : la grande aventure
[Llibre]
Louis-Guy Lemieux i André-Philippe Côté.
Sillery : Septentrion, 2001. – ISBN : 289448187X.
Passionné d'histoire, Louis-Guy Lemieux sait la rendre passionnante. Il
a le sens de l'anecdote, du pittoresque. Il sait découvrir et aime
surprendre. «Le grand homme de la Nouvelle-France est une femme»,
écrit-il d'entrée de jeu dans le présent ouvrage. Marie de l'Incarnation
l'a séduit. Il ouvre sa série d'articles avec elle. Il en est fier.
Sans doute, sous l'influence du Château Frontenac, il était prêt à
rendre hommage au célèbre gouverneur Frontenac. Mais devant les
faits que lui révèlent ses lectures, il se rebiffe. Le héros sera
déboulonné.
Au gré de ses recherches, il choisit ses personnages et passe
allègrement d'un sujet à l'autre sans se soucier de l'ordre
chronologique. Cet enchaînement a ses mérites. Il permet des retours,
des clins d'oeil, des occasions de marteler ses jugements. L'objectivité
est un des soucis de l'historien, la vérité crue plaît au journaliste.
Indiens, militaires, filles du roi et obscurs marchands lui permettent de
titiller le lecteur. Esprit gaillard, Louis-Guy Lemieux ne rate pas
d'évoquer la vie libertine en Nouvelle-France ; épris de justice, à
d'autres moments, il cloue au pilori Bigot et sa bande ; capable
d'admiration , il s'incline devant les explorateurs et salue avec
enthousiasme un Louis Jolliet, un Pierre d'Iberville. Les plus humbles
retiennent également son attention, Abraham Martin, Louis Hébert, les
plus hautains aussi, Mgr de Laval, Montcalm, les plus grands enfin,
Champlain et Talon.
Chaque texte est bien documenté, le ton est personnel, le style
toujours alerte. Cette histoire qu'on croyait tout de même un peu
savoir, prend sous la plume de Lemieux une dimension nouvelle, pleine
d'imprévus et de détails aussi inattendus que savoureux. Délice
suprême, les dessins d'André-Philippe Côté accompagnent les textes.
Les personnages de la Nouvelle-France acquièrent des traits pleins de
vitalité et de santé.

David Roberts.
London : Pimlico, 2005. – (American history). – ISBN : 0712666281.
Of the many tales of conflict and warfare between the UK Government
and the Indian tribes, perhaps none is more dramatic or revealing than
the story of the Apache wars. Those wars were the final episode in the
US government's subjugation of the indigenous peoples; the surrender
of Geronimo in 1886 effectively ended the Indian wars. Once They
Moved Liked the Wind is the epic story of the battles between the
Apaches and the US Army for land and freedom. The larger-than-life
characters of Cochise, Geronimo and General Cook move dramatically
through these pages, illuminating the history behind the Apache wars.

Philip Katcher. Il—lustracions de Gerry Embleton.
Oxford : Osprey, 2009. – (Men-at-arms ; 63). – ISBN : 0850450497.
The wars between whites and Indians, the most famous of which were
fought on the great Western plains between 1860 and 1890, were
among the most tragic of all conflicts ever fought. To the victor went
no less than the complete domination of the continent, to the loser
total extinction. Accustomed only to small scale skirmishing and
raiding, the Indians were doomed from the start. They had never
fought a European-style war with its constant pressure and coordinated strategies. Philip Katcher details the armies of both sides,
paying particular attention to their organisation and uniforms.

For more than a century, the Comanche Indians ruled the Southern
Plains, a region that included much of Texas, New Mexico, Colorado,
and Oklahoma. Their mastery of the horse and their skills at warfare
and hunting buffalo helped them defend their vast territory against all
invaders, both red and white.

SINOPSI : The year 1540 was a crucial turning point in American
history. The Great Indian Wars were incited by Francisco Vazquez de
Coronado when his expedition to the Great Plains launched the
inevitable 350-year struggle between the white man and the American
Indians. From that point forward, the series of battles between the
military and civilian forces of the United States and the native
American Indians began when blood was shed and ultimately tens of
thousands of lives were lost on both sides. The Battle of Tippicanoe,
the Battle of Horseshoe Band, all three Seminole Wars and the Battle
of Little Big Horn were some of the most important conflicts that led up
to the last massacre, the Battle of Wounded Knee, where America's
landscape would be forever changed.
The last of the mohicans
[Llibre]
James Fenimore Cooper.
Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2008. – (Oxford world's
classics). – ISBN : 0199538190.
The second of Cooper's five Leatherstocking Tales, this is the one
which has consistently captured the imagination of generations since it
was first published in 1826. Its success lies partly in the historical role
Cooper gives to his Indian characters, against the grain of accumulated
racial hostility, and partly in his evocation of the wild beautiful
landscapes of North America which the French and the British fought to
control throughout the eighteenth century.
At the centre of the novel is the celebrated `Massacre' of British troops
and their families by Indian allies of the French at Fort William Henry in
1757. Around this historical event, Cooper built a romantic fiction of
captivity, sexuality, and heroism, in which the destiny of the Mohicans
Chingachgook and his son Uncas is inseparable from the lives of Alice
and Cora Munro and of Hawkeye the frontier scout. The controlled,
elaborate writing gives natural pace to the violence of the novel's
action: like the nature whose plundering Copper laments, the books
placid surfaces conceal inexplicable and deathly forces.

The mammoth book of Native Americans
[Llibre]
ELS INDIS AMERICANS
Jon E. Lewis.
London : Robinson, 2004. – ISBN : 1841195936.
Native Americans make up less than one per cent of the total US
population but represent half the nation's languages and cultures.
Here, in one grand sweep, is the full story of Native American society,
culture and religion. Here is everything from the land-based spirituality
of their early creation myths and the late rise of Indian Pride, to the 88
uses to which the Sioux put the flesh and bones of the buffalo and the
practice of berdache (men adopted as women).
The book offers a chronological history of America's indigenous
peoples. It covers their dramatic early entry into North America, out of
the now submerged continent of Beringia, then in more recent times
the "forgotten wars" of the 16th and 17th centuries, which wiped many
tribes from the face of the East Coast, and finally describes to the last
struggles of the Cheyenne and the Comanche. Celebrating these
peoples' way of life rather than focusing narrowly on the manner of
their genocide, it does not ignore uncomfortable facts of the
Amerindian past - including the cannibalism believed to have been
practised by some tribes and the Native Americans' part in the
decimation of North America's buffalo herds.

ELS INDIS AMERICANS
Hergé.
Roma : Comic Art, 1989. – (Le avventure di Tintin).
Hergé uno dei massimi esponenti del cartooning belga. Tintin, il suo
personaggio più famoso. Tintin è un giovane reporter, un investigatore
giramondo coinvolto in rocambolesche avventure, in intrighi
archeologici e spionaggi industriali insieme con il suo fedele e simpatico
compagno, un fox-terrier di nome Milou. Intorno ai due protagonisti
ruota una nutrita schiera di personaggi comprimari come i poliziotti
gemelli Dupont e Dupond, il rissoso capitan Haddock, il geniale ma
distratto professor Girasole, il perfido magnate Rastapopulos. Nelle sue
avventure, Tintin è stato perfino sulla luna, ma sedici anni prima degli
astronauti americani e forse proprio per questo suo anticipo sui tempi
rimane tutt'oggi un personaggio godibilissimo e attuale. Tintin è
probabilmente il personaggio più esportato dei comics.
Tribes of the Iroquois Confederacy
[Llibre]
Michael Johnson. Il—lustracions de Jonathan Smith.
Oxford : Osprey, 2003. – ISBN : 1841764906.
The Five (later Six) Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy were central to
the story of the white colonization of the American Northeast. The
European fur trade transformed their world, and the struggles between
English and French colonists forced the tribes to take sides. Sir William
Johnson's efforts in the Mohawk Valley ensured that the Iroquois
Nations were allies of the British crown; and the loyalty of his kinsman
Joseph Brant (Thayendanegea) during the American Revolution forced
the Mohawks into Canadian exile. This richly illustrated book introduces
Iroquois history, social organization, religion and material culture.

[Llibre]
Michael Johnson. Il—lustracions de Jonathan Smith.
Oxford : Osprey, 2007. – (Men-at-arms ; 344). – ISBN : 185532878X.
The horse culture of the tribes of the High Plains of North America
lasted only some 170 years; yet in that time the sub-tribes of the
Teton or Western Sioux people imprinted a vivid image on the world's
imagination by their fearless but doomed fight to protect their hunting
grounds from the inevitable spread of the white man. This text outlines
the history, social organization, religion and material culture of the
Santee, Yankton and Teton Sioux; rare early photographs include
portraits of many of the great war chiefs and warriors of the Plains
Indian Wars, and eight detailed plates record details of Sioux
traditional costume.
