Proverbs of the Pennsylvania Germans

Proverbs of the Pennsylvania Germans

Edwin Miller Fogel

Metalmark Books
2009
pokkari
Proverbs of the Pennsylvania Germans is a follow-up and companion volume to Edwin Miller Fogel’s 1915 publication Beliefs and Superstitions of the Pennsylvania Germans. This volume focuses on the proverb in its broadest sense, including adages, aphorisms, and some appropriate idiomatic expressions. This “spontaneous expression of experience,” so widely used in the Germanic linguistic tradition, is in Fogel’s words “the very bone and sinew of the [Pennsylvania German] dialect.” This collection is the result of the author’s years of field research in Pennsylvania and comprises over two thousand proverbs dealing with all facets of folklife. Each entry is accompanied by an English translation and often, where applicable, a High German translation. Citations also note instances in which a parallel proverb had been documented in either a British or High German collection. The proverbs are arranged alphabetically by keyword, in the conventional style for a collection such as this one. Nearly one hundred proverbs deemed “vulgar,” which were originally published separately with only High German translations, have been reproduced as an appendix in this Metalmark edition.

Forgotten Tribes

Forgotten Tribes

The Federal Acknowledgment Process (FAP) is one of the most important and contentious issues facing Natives today. A complicated system of criteria and procedures, the FAP is utilized by federal officials to determine whether a Native community qualifies for federal recognition by the United States government. In "Forgotten Tribes", Mark Edwin Miller offers a balanced and detailed look at the origins, procedures, and assumptions governing the FAP. His work examines the FAP as viewed through the prism of four once unrecognized tribal communities, the United Houma Nation of Louisiana, the Tiguas of Texas, the Pascua Yaquis of Arizona, and the Timbisha Shoshones of California, and their battles to gain indigenous rights under federal law. Although the criteria required for securing federal acknowledgment sometimes bear little resemblance to how Natives see themselves, federal recognition is important politically and economically.Tribal status qualifies Native communities to receive federal aid and tax exemptions. It also gives Native groups an authoritative voice when dealing with the federal government and usually exempts them from local laws and restrictions. In recent years, casino interests have had much at stake in championing certain Native communities through the FAP, and existing tribes have sometimes resisted the official recognition of other communities, fearing economic competition or a drain on federally allocated resources. Taken together, these realities have ensured that tribal acknowledgment remains a controversial issue. Based on a wealth of interviews and original research, "Forgotten Tribes" features the first in-depth history and overview of the FAP and sheds light on this controversial Native identification policy involving state power over Native peoples and tribal sovereignty. Mark Edwin Miller is an assistant professor of history at Ouachita Baptist University.

Claiming Tribal Identity

Claiming Tribal Identity

Mark Edwin Miller; Chad Corntassel Smith

University of Oklahoma Press
2013

Who counts as an American Indian? Which groups qualify as Indian tribes? These questions have become increasingly complex in the past several decades, and federal legislation and the rise of tribal-owned casinos have raised the stakes in the ongoing debate. In this revealing study, historian Mark Edwin Miller describes how and why dozens of previously unrecognized tribal groups in the southeastern states have sought, and sometimes won, recognition, often to the dismay of the Five Tribes - the Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks, and Seminoles. Miller explains how politics, economics, and such slippery issues as tribal and racial identity drive the conflicts between federally recognized tribal entities like the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, and other groups such as the Southeastern Cherokee Confederacy that also seek sovereignty. Battles over which groups can claim authentic Indian identity are fought both within the Bureau of Indian Affairs' Federal Acknowledgment Process and in Atlanta, Montgomery, and other capitals where legislators grant state recognition to Indian-identifying enclaves without consulting federally recognized tribes with similar names. Miller's analysis recognizes the arguments on all sides - both the scholars and activists who see tribal affiliation as an individual choice, and the tribal governments that view unrecognized tribes as fraudulent. Groups such as the Lumbees, the Lower Muscogee Creeks, and the Mowa Choctaws, inspired by the civil rights movement and the War on Poverty, have evolved in surprising ways, as have traditional tribal governments. Describing the significance of casino gambling, the leader of one unrecognized group said, ""It's no longer a matter of red; it's a matter of green."" Either a positive or a negative development, depending on who is telling the story, the casinos' economic impact has clouded what were previously issues purely of law, ethics, and justice. Drawing on both documents and personal interviews, Miller unravels the tangled politics of Indian identity and sovereignty. His lively, clearly argued book will be vital reading for tribal leaders, policy makers, and scholars.

The Humanity of Divinity, and the Divinity of Duality: A Collection of Poems, Thoughts and Very Few Dreams

The Humanity of Divinity, and the Divinity of Duality: A Collection of Poems, Thoughts and Very Few Dreams

Gene Edwin Miller III

This is a collection of poems by a man who made a choice to make a lot of changes to his life. After many things in his life that just seemed drastic and or dismal he thought he should quit many things that seemed to be bad habits and or addictive. This book is all various parts, or themes of his perspective, perception. It is introspective, sometimes heartfelt, sometimes clever, yet often philosophical and intellectual. In this collection he also shares some dreams, thoughts on God, meditative states, and hints at the philosophies that helped along the way. It is truly at its core a mix of raw poetry and somewhat of a memoir over the course of about four years. He has a certain sense of turning dark into light in a majority of the poems. Reading it is basically a look into his own sense of symbolism and wordplay, or how he perceives himself and now, and how he has a better look on this world.
