Long John
Pale Moon. Tales of the American Indians
USA: ICS Books Inc. 1995 The American Indians loved to share stories around the campfire both as a major form of entertainment and as the means for passing on tribal history culture and beliefs. The modern reader has found their ageless creations myths legends war ceremonies trickster and hero tales no less enchanting than those who first told and heard them centuries ago. John Long and his researchers reviewed over one hundred renowned anthologies in compiling Pale Moon and the result is a unique collection grounded in the bedrock of ancient culture pulsating with nature's indomitable energy and the soul's struggle with the Great Mystery. The themes are as old as fire itself and are part of mankind's heritage--literary ethnic folkloric. The telling of them maks living myths. ICS Books Inc. paperback

� la rencontre des femmes du nord
Qu�bec: lLes �ditions GID 2010 � Pr�s de vingt ann�es pass�es comme consultante en nutrition aupr�s des Autochtones ont chang� mon regard sur le monde et sur mon m�tier. Nul ne revient inchang� d'une telle exp�rience. Par le pass� un travail portant sur la transmission du savoir chez les femmes inuites m'a permis d'appr�cier l'immense richesse de cet univers. Apr�s avoir c�toy� les femmes en particulier et avoir tant parl� avec elles de la qualit� de vie � laquelle elles aspirent pour elles et pour les leurs je sentais pourtant qu'un lourd silence recouvrait toujours l'essentiel. A travers le r�cit de mes rencontres avec ces femmes du Nord j'aimerais aujourd'hui proposer une relation moins acad�mique impr�gn�e d'un chant qui doit se faire entendre : celui de l'�me nomade.� lLes �ditions GID paperback

Huitron Antonio
Metepec: Miseria y Grandeza del Barro
188 pages with map plates diagrams and appendix. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6 3/4" issued in wrappers. From the library of professor George M Foster. First edition limited to 1000 copies.<br /><br />Metepec is a city and municipality in the State of Mexico in Mexico. It lies adjacent to the east side of the state capital Toluca. Mexico City lies further to the east. The name Metepec is from Náhuatl meaning hill of the maguey plants. However it is also known in the Matlatzinca language as "Nepinta-Tuhi" meaning 'people of corn land' and in the Otomi language as "Ntaguada"." During the Spanish conquest Gonzálo de Sandoval and his Otomi allies conquered Toluca Tenango Tlacotepec Tecaxic-Calixtlahuaca Calimaya along with Metepec other Matlatzinca and Mexica population centers whose lands were then abandoned by the natives. These lands were then redistributed among the Spaniards who participated in the Conquest and to those local chiefs that supported the Spanish. Lands in and around Metepec were given to Captain Juan Gutiérrez Altamirano who brought the Franciscans in to evangelize the area and then these lands passed onto the estates of the Counts of Santiago. The area was considered an "alcaldía mayor" literally 'major mayorship' by 1560 with the village of Metepec as its seat. Records of municipal government transactions begin in the 19th century. Finally the municipality of Metepec was created in 1821; although this was not ratified by the government of the State of Mexico until 1827. Metepec is known for its pottery items and it is still of economic importance. The artisans of this area have organized into the Asociación de Artesanos de Metepec y la Unión de Alfareros de Metepec A.C. Association of Artisans of Metepec and the Union of Potters of Metepec. Principal crafts include objects made from clay glass and includes saddlemaking. The city has about 300 craftsmen as well as 275 family workshops. The craft Metepec is best-known for is the Arbol de la vida "Tree of Life" which is a traditional pottery representation of the tree from which Adam and Eve ate from in the Biblical story.
