AMERICANA REDUX
Amerindian Resistance in Colonial Trans-Appalachia
1750-1830
The Proclamation Wars Volume 1
In the Shadow of Raven Mockers
By Richard Arnold
Foreword by Jerry Painter

 

In 1763 when the British gained Florida at the conclusion of the French and Indian War, English officials met a small band of Amerindians in Spanish Pensacola. Appalachian was the name they introduced themselves with. These Appalachian departed from Pensacola with the Spanish headed for Vera Cruz, Mexico.  Americana Redux or Americana Revisited critically reviews the origins of globalism through the lens of indigenous Trans-Appalachia. The region geographically encompassed by territories east of the Mississippi River in continental North America. From this 18th Century geographic and cultural locale the matrix of Amerindian and European aims and the subsequent outcomes; continues to shape the political and cultural order today. This work draws on historical timelines that pre and postdate the French and Indian War an era characterized by its warrior ethos and less so for its diplomatic discretion.

DERELICTION OF DUTY (public access)
by E. Frost 1991

The case of Cherokee history:
In essence this is perfect colonization: the trustees of the people's culture and identity become the pawns of the enemy. Such alterations have occurred with Cherokee society and are still occurring. Those who transcribed and translated Cherokee narratives and oral history made certain crucial changes, many unconscious.  The cultural bias of the translator ultimately shapes his or her perception of the material being translated and the different cultural biases of the recorder/documenter alter it even more. What we are left with is an extremely clouded window through which to try to view the past. It's like looking at a stained glass window; a casual observer sees only the image created by the glass. The real view of history beyond the window is obfuscated and often destroyed by the distorted and colored images of the makers of the window. History is fragile, especially the cultural and social history of a preliterate people; what really existed can be irredeemably destroyed by a stroke of a conqueror's pen.

CDIB (public access)
by Cedric Sunray 2010

What were the factors? How had a distinct and identifiable Indian community been denied its inherent rights? The mystery was no mystery at all.  It existed in the greed of old allies and even older family. Their neighbors had undermined them, while all the while smiling in their face...Experts on Indian history are refuted unless the expert agrees with the views of the Office of Federal Acknowledgment and the gaming lobbyists which control national Indian politics. CDIB —no culture required.
