Below are a list of
articles/chapters from a book written in 1906. This is the first of many
historical books I will be putting on the site. The
articles/books presented are for their historical value only and are not
necessarily the opinions of this website.
While these articles/books can
provide some insight to ways that have been lost, they are also written
within the limitations and restrictions of the time in which they were
written. For example
Carl Moon (1879-1948), another author, wrote "About the only thing we
have thus far overlooked taking from the Indian is his right to perform
his religious rites with their accompanying dances in his own way." When
in fact that right was also taken from them in 1890 and was only
restored with the American Indian Religious Freedom Act in 1978. This
just shows that he was not aware of the "ban", because, in his time,
information was not shared like it is today. ~ Spotted Wolf
