Native Ancient

Some histories arrive in the public mind already simplified. They become a handful of images, a small collection of names, and a few repeating phrases that are passed from generation to generation until they begin to feel like the whole story. The Lakota have suffered that kind of compression more than most people. In the popular imagination, they are often reduced to war bonnets, cavalry charges, and a tragic snow-covered hillside called Wounded Knee.

Studies have shown that developing an “atomic habit”—just doing a few minutes a day of whatever skill or habit you want to take on—can be more than enough to engrain it into our lives. Therefore, we have transformed timeless legendary stories into 10-minute bite-size chunks long enough to entertain, enthrall, and even educate the listener, but short enough to be enjoyed quickly at bedtime or any other point in our busy modern days.

This is the true story of how a chance meeting with a young Navajo Indian propels an English traveler out of his professional life and into the world of North American Indian Medicine Men, a world where people genuinely believe that witchcraft can bring ruin, even death, and only the traditional medicine men have the knowledge to lift the curses and restore the sick to health. This is the Second Edition of the acclaimed Meeting the Medicine Men, with much extra material and detail supplied by Charles Langley from his field notes and diaries. As apprentice to the powerful Navajo medicine man...

ALASKA: THE LAST FRONTIER From Ancient Homeland to American Territory Long before Alaska became the “Last Frontier,” it was home. For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples built thriving societies across one of the most extraordinary landscapes on Earth. They navigated the Arctic seas, followed caribou across the Interior, harvested salmon from powerful rivers, hunted the waters of the Aleutian Islands, and developed complex cultures, traditions, trade networks, and political systems perfectly adapted to the North. Then outsiders arrived. Russian explorers and fur traders crossed ...

For seven hundred years, the largest city on the continent above Mexico stood on the Mississippi. Nobody remembers its name. In 1050, a generation of builders raised a metropolis on the floodplain east of modern St. Louis. Fifteen to twenty thousand people lived inside it. Monks Mound rose ten stories above the plain and held more carried earth than the Great Pyramid uses in its base courses. The Grand Plaza in front of it was fifty acres of leveled clay. A timber sun-calendar tracked the solstices. More than one hundred and twenty smaller mounds ringed the core, and trade goods from a ...

Sent to investigate a seemingly unrelated series of incidents across a wide swathe of backcountry, he meets Louis, a Tule River Indian tribal member who presents a radical theory: the crimes were all committed by a single perpetrator––a large, hairy hominid.

Most books about Appalachian folklore begin with the words "locals say." This one gives you the court records. You have read the other ones. Forty legends, two paragraphs each, every story introduced by an anonymous source that cannot be checked. You finish the book unable to tell the difference between a legend with a courthouse file behind it and one somebody invented for a website in 1994. Primeval Appalachian Folklore takes the opposite approach. Every story here comes with a county, a date, and wherever possible the name of the person who told it and the name of the person who wrote it...

When the Spanish came into contact with different tribes in the Southwest, they were so intrigued by the structure of the communities that they gave the natives the name Pueblo, a term they used to measure certain sizes for their own settlements. Thus, while most Americans have heard of the Pueblo and Navajo, many remain unfamiliar with distinctions within the tribes.
