réf. 21253United Kingdom Foreign Office Whitehall London. Circa 1953. The Mau Mau uprising began in 1952 and the atrocities committed by the rebels were matched by those of the British whose Attorney General in Kenya Eric Griffith-Jones wrote to Governor Baring in 1957 that the colony's detention camps for Mau Mau suspects were 'distressingly reminiscent of conditions in Nazi Germany or Communist Russia'. He advised that suspects be beaten mainly on their upper bodies and that those administering violence should 'remain collected balanced and dispassionate' also commenting: 'If we are going to sin we must sin quietly.' Among the victims of British brutality was Hussein Onyango Obama grandfather of President Barack Obama. From a batch of Foreign Office documents including material from the Information Research Department for whose activities financed from the budget of the Special Intelligence Service otherwise MI6 see The Times 17 August 1995; and also Michael Cullis's obituary of Sir John Peck in the Independent 20 January 1995. Duplicated typescript. Headed: 'a The political and economic effect of MAU MAU in KENYA.' 8pp foolscap 8vo. Paginated 'a 1' to 'a 7' including interpolated passage on 'a 2A'. Complete with catchwords to all but the last page. Divided into five sections headed: 'What is Mau Mau' 'Action against Mau Mau terrorism' 'Sir Philip Mitchell's dispatch on East African economic problems' with subsections on 'Population Problems' 'Labour problems and Wages' 'Social Welfare' 'Royal Commission for East Africa' 'Development plans for Kenya'. The first section begins: 'Before considering in detail what the secret society called Mau Mau is and what are its aims; it will be as well to examine traditional background of the tribe of Africans involved – the Kikuyu.' The section includes an 'account of the barbaric rites practised at Mau Mau initiation ceremonies' from 'the Nairobi Correspondent of The Times' 9 October 1952. The section on 'Mau Mau terrorism' begins with a description of the police response to 'the murder of Chief Waruhiu' and discusses the activities of Jomo Kenyatta. The points of Sir Evelyn Baring's 'programme for the economic and social development of Kenya' 28 October 1952 are enumerated in the last section followed by a description of Governor Baring's'defence plans'. No other copy traced. [United Kingdom Foreign Office, Whitehall, London. Circa 1953.] unknown

Along the way treaty after treaty was struck with the United States Government. These agreements shaped and limited the evolution of Peoria culture in many ways determining how and where the Peorias would live and what rights they would retain as a people.

1893réf. 0002122CROTON-ON-HUDSON WESTCHESTER COUNTY NEW YORK. Good. 1893. On offer is a super original manuscript relic of late 19th Century secret societies and fraternal organizations being an 1893 - 1895 IMPROVED ORDER OF RED MEN TRIBES Minutes Book. The book proper published specifically for the Club has printed forms for the IMPROVED ORDER OF RED MEN TRIBES. Pages on the left side of the open ledger have a Printed Heading with space for filling in information by hand. The page heading reads: "HUNTING GROUNDS OF" "WIGWAM OF" "TRIBE NO" "IMP. O.R.M." "SLEEP" and "MOON G.S.D.4" then below the heading information is printed information for the TRIBE to record Minutes Activities Events the INITIATION OF NEW MEMBERS etc. Includes such titles as: "Keeper of Wampum" "Application of Paleface" "Record of Previous Council Fire read" "Twig box was opened by" "New Business" "Council Fire was then Quenched" etc. Almost all pages are filled in with various handwritten minutes and notes about the REDMEN meetings including dates 1893-1895 place Croton-on-Hudson New York events New Member Induction Bill needing Payment Committee Reports Problem members General Problems Plans Political Stands etc. Pinned-on to one of the pages is a 2 page handwritten letter on "Improved Order of Red Men Wigwam of Kitchawau Tribe No. 237" letterhead. We cannot help but note that this book and the Society it represents predates the Washington Redskins baseball team controversy declaring the team name racist yet this fraternal organization clearly honors Native Americans and stands as an homage to their tribal attributes. Please read the Wiki article after the description. The ledger is also a treasure trove of genealogical and social history of the Westchester County area with many many names of members and their activities. The book has a leather spine and corners leather edged with gilt paper title label on front cover 8.5" x 13.5" pages printed on watermarked paper "Kenilworth" approximately 200-300 unnumbered pages. The front cover is split at its spine fold and is almost disbound. Internally a couple signatures including the first are shaky; one page is loose and is pinned-on to another page otherwise the pages are quite nice - tight bright and clean with writing that is clear and fully legible. HISTORICAL NOTES: Wiki: The Improved Order of Red Men traces its origin to certain secret patriotic societies founded before the American Revolution. They were established to promote Liberty and to defy the tyranny of the English Crown. Among the early groups were: The Sons of Liberty the Sons of St. Tammany and later the Society of Red Men. Their rituals and regalia are modeled after those used by Native Americans. The organization claimed a membership of about half a million in 1935 but has declined to less than 38000. Notable members: Theodore Roosevelt Warren G. Harding and Franklin D. Roosevelt. ; Manuscript; Folio - over 12" - 15" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF RED MEN FRATERNITY IMPROVED ORDER OF THE RED MEN KITCHAWAU TRIBE CROTON-ON-HUDSON WESTCHESTER COUNTY NEW YORK WASHINGTON REDSKINS SECRET PATRIOTIC SOCIETIES AMERICAN REVOLUTION THE SONS OF LIBERTY THE SONS OF ST.
