Western History And Genealogy

The significance of the republic policies were great, they brought a lot of growth in the 20’s allowing the market to strive over lots of trading and the purchase of shares, but was also an unstable market, as the government had no control over what it did and was left up to the

Quoted by Handler and Gable, critic Ada Louise Huxtable declares the newly constructed reproduction of Colonial Williamsburg as “too clean,” arguing that it “does not include the filth and stench that would have been commonplace.” (Source E) This sanitation of the truth completely misrepresents history, and the educational value greatly suffers. Conversely, the National Museum of the American Indian hopes to avoid this lack of judgment by dedicating itself to the “preservation, study, and exhibition of the life, languages, literature, history, and Arts of Native Americans.” (Source C) The main goal of the museum is to “span all major cultural areas” (C) and educate the public about and preserve the rich history of such a vast culture. The authenticity and significance of artifacts are important to representing culture and history, and the ability of these artifacts to educate should be a key factor of the selection process.

When the opportunity to attend the local Peteetneet Schoolhouse Museum transpired, many historical facts would be discovered. Upon arrival the large two story stone building resembled something from a pioneer movie. The museum guide quickly came to escort myself through the exhibit and shared her mass amount of information. The historical building housed the information of local Mormon settlers and the steady cultural clash between the Ute, Paiute and Navajo Indians. Along with interesting information and artifacts, the museum brought to life the struggles of early settler’s.

In the 1600s when the Neshnabe tribes met their first European explorer the “hairy face” by then name of Jean Nicolet, his translators told him that they were makers of the fire and it was wrote down as Pouutouatami. Which would eventually become Potawatomi . Potawatomi became the Default spelling because it was the closest to the original way the Potawatomi say their name.

As time has progressed on, in a little town in eastern West Virginia, it is as though time has taken a halt. In Elkins West Virginia nestled in the mountain tops a small community on a hill does its best to preserve history the best way it possibly could by holding one of oldest buildings in town on its foundation. It is a showing of a time long before, it truly is something to be celebrated. History, a true design of focus on the Campus of Davis and Elkins

I did not think that the things that happened back in the 1800’s was something that carried its way through the years to today. After my visit to the Rhode Island Historical Society Library and after the research I did, I realized that the historical societies that impacted the way life was back in the 1800’s was almost the same societies that were around today and the things that the societies impacted the way the world is today. The difficulties that I had while looking for research on my own in the Rhode Island Historical Society Library was that there was not a lot of information about Elizabeth Buffum Chace and what she did. Other than books that can be check out from a public library, there was not a lot of materials that were special to the Rhode Island Historical Society Library. I resolved this challenge by checking books out of the Exeter Public Library and I did research on the Community College of Rhode Island’s online library and got an article on Elizabeth Buffum Chace. I feel that I did not learn anything from going to the Rhode Island Historical Society Library. I do not work well in groups and going to this library working to get information with the three other people did not help me because there was more talking about other things than the work we needed to get done. I also felt that the materials at the Rhode Island Historical Society library was not that important to the

The Mongols of central Asia marched across much of Eurasia throughout the thirteenth century. They were being able to penetrate damage and possessed an advantage over other tribes by having access to resources along with their settlement in the Silk Road which was effective for expansion. Within Mongol culture, the Black Death, and military methods were transferred from the people. Without the influence of Temujin along the route, the leader of the Genghis Khan, Mongol conquest wouldn’t progress. Marco Polo, a person known for his journeys also played an important role along the way.

They provide excellent information, especially participant information, that will help me express the nature of the heritage of Appalachian music from and inside perspective. A few of my sources are: “Sugar in the Gourd: Preserving Appalachian Traditions,” an article by Tom Brown; “The Queen Family: Appalachian Tradition and Back Porch Music,” video segments by the Films Media Groups through PBS; and “Song Catchers, Ballad Makers, and New Social Historians: The Historiography of Appalachian Music,” by Ann Ostendorf, among a few others. I also plan to use specific artists that continue the heritage of Appalachian music such as Anna and

Web essay 4: The West There are many people that think of the land west of the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean known simply as “The West” as just another part of the United States. The real story of how the western frontier as we know it today manifested is a truly magnificent one. It is one of many different perspectives filled with war, courage, religious freedom, and the bloodshed of many for the fulfillment of dreams or the perseverance of ones right to their land and culture. It was the center of the universe for the Indians who were first to inhabit the land and a promise of riches and power for explorers, settlers, and missionaries who set out to make the West their own. The two sections I paid particular attention to in my research were The People and The Empire upon the Trails.

War warps a culture in many ways not just how they act during the actual war itself. It also causes a change in the people within the culture, their ideals, beliefs, and humanities. The Holocaust is a great example of a culture- warping event. Many who read of the Holocaust and study it in high school or college do not often see the after affects of the war on the people. Most of the victims of this horrible event that survived were in their teens or thirties. Many people downplay the event to be a tragedy in the past, when in reality it is still a tragedy that is still affecting our present today. When someone reads of the Holocaust most of the time, they will think about the people who died, but rarely will they consider those who survived. There are many survivors today who are not recognized for their struggles the face today, as well as the ones they have faced in their history. The after affects on these people is still prominent even today, through the low numbers in their population, and their psychological damage.

During the course I realized how large of a role art plays in helping create cultures and developing and preserving the history of civilizations. I find it interesting that when there’s no written history or any historical buildings, cultures will always make their own ancient past grander than what it really is. The Israelites, the Greeks and Romans all tell stories of their history that has no written proof. It seems that we as people want to have a connection to our roots and to understand where we come from. This is why I believe that most people want to believe in a higher power.

We view historical preservation as very important. This year we helped the Secretary of State with a biographical project, Legacy

Many do not know that the IMA houses two different libraries. The Stout Reference Library and the Horticultural Society Library provide numerous resources for their visitors, which mainly consist of students, IMA Staff, docents, collectors, researchers and even members of the community. The Stout Reference Library “focuses on the encyclopedia collection of the Indianapolis Museum of Art, while also providing general information about art and art history of all periods.” (Stout Reference Library, 2017) The Horticultural Society Library “houses more than 2,000 volumes, including general reference books and books on landscaping, specific plant families and horticulture.” (Horticultural Society Library, 2017) I mention the libraries because this semester, I am technically considered a library and archives intern at the IMA. My mentor however is the archivist, Samantha Norling. She has done impressive work at the IMA in such a short time. She jump-started the Archives online portal, which consists of thousands of digitized items from the archives. The IMA received a “generous grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)” (Documenting Modern Living, 2017), that allowed for 17,000 items from the Miller House and Garden archival collection to be digitized.

During the postclassical age, empires expanded and religions were spread. Christianity is a monotheistic religion that was already present, but Islam, another monotheistic religion emerged during the 7th century. The rapid expansion of the Umayyad and Abbasid dynasties resulted in the spread and rapid conversion of this religion. Some of the effects of this cross cultural interactions between 600-1450 CE included the Afro Eurasian Trade Network as it facilitated the spread of Islam and technology, the conversion to Islam by civilians as the basis of the religion was equality and the Great Schism which split the church permanently into Catholic and Orthodox churches.

In this essay I will be discussing four of the major themes in this course in terms of progress, they will be religion, humanism, individualism and secularism. I will discuss these concepts within the countries of England, France, and Russia, and show my point of view on each.
