Coppa Hembo was a fascinating historical figure. Born of a Maidu father and Washoe mother he would rise to become the primary Huuk (Chief ) for nearly 50 years over the Hill Nisenan band of the Southern Maidu, with authority over the Maidu and Washoe people living on the Divide between the forks of the Natoman (American) River.

The environmental disaster of the Dust Bowl which turned days to nights in the far of cities of New York and Washington D.C. for Oklahoma tore families apart sending survivors to all corners of the country. For many people now trying to find their lost relatives and ancestors from Oklahoma the task is often more difficult than they expected. This is a compilation of my research of the Native American part of my families roots. Not only do I present my findings in their historical context but also where and how I looked to find them. I detailed the members of my family from the early 1700's to the present. A history you don't see in the school books that has fascinated me from little on. For those trying to find more about their Native American roots or those simply interested in American History from the Native American point of view this book is invaluable.
The original inhabitants of the Lake Tahoe Basin the Washoe are a fascinating people. With a history in the Sierra Nevada stretching back 9000 years they are the oldest tribe in California. They have a fascinating history before and after the coming of the Americans. In American history the Washoe guided Kit Carson and Charles Fremont through the Sierra Nevada, later they were the first to bring food to the stranded Donner Party. The Washoe have tribal lore that speaks of the Si Te Cah tribe, long believed to be just an ignorant savage fantasy, recent discoveries have proven they are true. The Si Te Cah otherwise known as Sasquach or Bigfoot truly did exist and their mummified re-mains have been found in several locations. From a population numbering approximately 1,500 people whos homeland stretched from Mono Lake in the South to Honey Lake in the North the Washoe were reduced to only 500 people in 1866 with no land to call their own. They persevered and are still living in their homeland as friendly, hardworking, creative American citizens.
The history of the West from the Natives perspective and the world wide forces affecting them are rarely found in our history books. For the tribes in the West the history before the 1840’s is poorly understood and when taken out of context seems to make no sense to the casual reader. In particular the history of the Natives in Northern California seems to be completely overlooked. These people had a turbulent history prior to the Gold Rush of 1849 and while run over in the flood of immigration their history continued . This fascinating part of our Nation’s history and the context in which it occurred is the heart of this work.
Teleguac aka Chief Jose Jesus was one of California’s na-tive freedom fighters. Living through an extremely turbulent period in time where everything was put into chaos by climatic disasters and invasions by other races to the very foundations upon which the tribes were based, he would not only survive but forged a future for his people. This unique leader was also chosen by an animal that protected him in numerous battles and who’s presence brought many tribes together in common cause creating what can best be described as the Miwok Confedera-tion. His life’s story inspired the fictional California Hero we call Zorro but the real story is even more fascinating than the fiction. The real history of California Natives is almost com-pletely unknown yet it shaped the history in so many ways that it merits being brought out for all to learn.
The extraterrestrial presence in our universe and even that which is evident on our planet is becoming more and more of an accepted reality, as droves of evidence continues to mount in the form of government-released documents, amateur video, research, witness testimonies from citizens, the military, and more.

Понятие достоинство в сочетании с правами и свободами человека во второй половине ХХ и начале XXI в. весьма частые гости в речах политиков и международных дипломатов. Однако их антропологический генезис, содержание, структура, конвергенция до сих пор оставляют желать более основательной разработки как в философии, так и в этике, культурологии, международном праве, политологии.В с...
Als anys vint, les persones més riques del món eren els membres de la nació osage a Oklahoma. Un cop descobert el petroli que s’amagava sota les seves terres es van convertir en milionaris: van construir mansions, tenien xofers privats i enviaven els fills a estudiar a Europa. Però una espiral de violència va terroritzar aquesta comunitat indígena quan els seus membres van començar a morir i a desaparèixer en circumstàncies estranyes. La família d’una dona osage, la Mollie Burkhart, es va convertir en un dels objectius principals i l’assassinat a trets d’una de les seves germanes va marcar l’inici de tot. El nombre d’osages morts no parava de créixer, i molts dels qui s’atrevien a investigar els crims també corrien la mateixa sort. El recentment inaugurat FBI va agafar les regnes del cas i el seu jove director, J. Edgar Hoover, va confiar en un antic ranger de Texas anomenat Tom White per intentar desxifrar el misteri. White va formar un equip d’agents infiltrats que, juntament amb els osage, van començar a exposar els secrets de la conspiració més sinistra i pertorbadora mai viscuda a Amèrica del Nord.
