Film Transcript
[ Narrator: ] The year was 1864. Events took place in the American West that would change the world
of Navajos. Navajos call it, "the fearing time". Navajos saw soldiers and settlers coming to the
Southwest. Conflict led to one of the most tragic, yet triumphant chapters in American history. It's still
very difficult for us to talk about-- these stories.
[ Narrator: ] The aftermath shook their identity. Any time you say the word "Navajo" or something,
they will shave a bar of soap and they put it in your mouth and they tell you to wash it out.
[ Announcer: ] This program was made possible in part by:
[ Narrator: ] Navajos saw threatening omens. Landslides may have predicted "the fearing time".
January 1864--Canyon de Chelly seemed invincible to Navajos. The Redrock Canyon had spiritual and
strategic meaning. Sheer vertical walls protect the canyon floor. It was a cold winter day. Snow
blanketed the canyon. Orchards covered the canyon floor. There may have been as many as 3,000
peach trees. Red water flowed through Canyon de Chelly. Navajos knew soldiers were coming. Crops
were destroyed in the summer and fall. Their sheep were killed or taken. This scorched earth policy
was planned to make Navajos surrender. The war of starvation was effective. Few shots were fired. The
United States' military campaign against Navajos had origins in earlier events. European explorers
reached North America in the late 1400s. There were consequences for millions of Native people who
lived there. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark made their voyage of discovery to the American West
in 1804 through 1806. When Lewis and Clark first came up this river behind me, it meant actually
many different things to many different tribes. Some embraced them, but truly it meant the beginning
of the end of our life as we knew it.
[ Narrator: ] Conflict threw the West into decades of turmoil. The Spanish explorer Cortes conquered
Mexico in 1519. Spain occupied the Southwest. The Spanish were the first Europeans Navajos
encountered. The Mexican War of Independence separated Mexico from Spain in 1821. Mexico
controlled the province of New Mexico until 1846. Navajos experienced slave raids throughout the
Spanish-Mexican period. Slave raids were cause for much of the violence in the Southwest. Historian
Peter Iverson quotes Navajo leader Armijo-- "More than 200 of our children have been carried off "and
we know not where they are. "My people are crying for the children they have lost." Navajos resisted
domination. Navajos rarely, if ever, receive back their own family members who have been taken
captives.
[ Narrator: ] Navajos call themselves Dine or "The People". Their religion tells of five worlds from
which they came. The creation of Navajos took place within four sacred mountains-- White Shell
Mountain, Bluebead Mountain, Abalone Shell Mountain and Big Sheep Mountain. Chaco Canyon is
located in the four corners region of the So ...

Lecture 17 Barbarians: the Germanic tribes and the Norsemen
The Germanic and the Norse mythologies are very similar and they reflect the harsh
environment and the fierce fighters that these people were. These are the people that the Romans
called barbarians; that’s where the word comes from. The very sophisticated Romans feared the
barbarians, who were actually able to bring down the entire Roman Empire. These are the Vikings, a
different group, because they not only were able to trade and went from Scandinavian countries all the
way down to North Africa and had trading ventures with the Muslim states, but at the same time they
were pillaging the coastlines of Europe and the Brit ish Isles. They had settled Iceland. You talk about
global warming. At the time that the Vikings were heading out, Greenland was actually green and for 75
years, the Vikings had established a community there in this very rich environment until the ice
returned. An entire village is caught under 20, 30, 40, 50 feet of snow and is now being excavated. The
Vikings even went further on, using Greenland as a base probably, and went to Nova Scotia or in that
area and established communities there. These wer e a wide ranging people who believed that the gods
were there as protectors and the gods were there as helpers, but when it came down to brass tacks,
these people believed that a person controlled his own destiny. You tried to do your best, you asked for
help, but then you play the cards, the hand, that you are dealt.
Another interesting side note about Viking culture is that generally in all the Germanic tribes,
and they were mostly tribes and clans, the succession of leader went to the strongest, the f ittest, and
the bravest. But, when some of the Vikings became extremely wealthy with their trading particularly
with the Muslims in North Africa, they wanted to keep that money within their own families, so they
changed the succession so that it went from father to son, rather than strongest to strongest. It is
interesting to note that in some of these clans where the succession had changed, the entire culture fell
apart within a couple of generations.
Even our days of the week remind us of the Norse go ds. For instance, Thor’s Day, Thursday.
Thor was the god of thunder, and the most powerful god. It is interesting that he was not the leader of
the family of gods, but by far the most powerful one. He had a magic hammer, Mjollnir, that every time
he threw it, it would return to him. Freya’s Day, Friday. Freya being the goddess of fertility and love ,
the most beautiful of all the goddesses. And Wodin’s Day, Wednesday. Wodin is also known as Odin,
depending on the pronunciation and spelling of the lo cality where it comes from. Odin was actually the
leader of the gods, the one who was able to keep the family, the loose confederation, of the gods
together. He was a one-eyed god and it is not often that we hav ...

Heart of Darkness (1899) is a novella[citation needed] by Polish novelist Joseph Conrad, about a voyage up the Congo River into the Congo Free State, in the heart of Africa, by the story's narrator Marlow. Marlow tells his story to friends aboard a boat anchored on the River Thames, London, England. This setting provides the frame for Marlow's story of his obsession with the ivory trader Kurtz, which enables Conrad to create a parallel between London and Africa as places of darkness.
Central to Conrad's work is the idea that there is little difference between so-called civilized people and those described as savages; Heart of Darkness raises important questions about imperialism and racism.
Originally published as a three-part serial story in Blackwood's Magazine, the novella Heart of Darkness has been variously published and translated into many languages. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Heart of Darkness as the sixty-seventh of the hundred best novels in English of the twentieth century.
Joseph Conrad acknowledged that Heart of Darkness was in part based on his own experiences during his travels in Africa. In 1890, at the age of 32, he was appointed by a Belgian trading company to serve as the captain of a steamer on the Congo River. Conrad, who was born in Poland and later settled in England, had eagerly anticipated the voyage, having decided to become a sailor at an early age. While sailing up the Congo river from one station to another, the captain became ill, Conrad assumed command of the boat and guided the ship to the trading company's innermost station. He reportedly became disillusioned with Imperialism, after witnessing the cruelty and corruption perpetrated by the European companies in the area. The novella's main narrator, Charles Marlow, is believed to have been based upon the author.

The Douglas Treaties, 1850-54
Lekwungen settlements around Victoria
“I was born a member of the Songhees tribe, who then lived in small bands along the waterfront from Beacon Hill to Cadboro Bay and Cordova Bay. The tribe also had a central camp site on Mud Bay in Victoria Harbor, where now stands the Empress Hotel and the Union Club.”
“I forget how long it took to build the fort and the other structures, but Douglas went away for a while. I am not sure whether it was at his first visit that he arranged for the withdrawal of the Songhees to the other side of Victoria Harbor, but I think not. At the time I was resident at Brentwood with the Saanich Indians. I do well remember hearing that Douglas called a meeting of the four sub-chiefs of the Songhees, heads of the groups living at Clover Point, at Cadboro Bay, at Cordova Bay and at Mud Bay. I remember the sense of wealth shared by the Mud Bay group when, after they had agreed to abandon Mud Bay and remove to the old Songhees reserve on the Inner Harbor, Douglas gave the sub-chief a bale of fifty blankets for distribution among the families of the group. He also gave the other groups presents for waiving their rights of assembly at Mud Bay.
A few years later, when the gold rush was on, practically all the colonies of Songhees removed to the Inner Harbor reserve, to share in the wealth to be earned by transporting the miners and their supplies to the Fraser River fields.”

Sample treaty negotiated by James Douglas:
Swengwhung Tribe – Victoria Peninsula, South of Colquitz
Know all men, we the chiefs and people of the family of Swengwhung, who have singed our names and made our marks to this deed on the thirtieth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and fifty, do consent to surrender, entirely and for ever, to James Douglas, the agent of the Hudson’s Bay Company in Vancouver Island, that is to say, for the Governor, Deputy Governor, and Committee of the same, the whole of the lands situate and lying between the Island of the Dead, in the Arm or Inlet of Camosun, where the Kosampson lands terminate, extending east to the Fountain Ridge, and following it to its termination on the Straits of De Fuca, in the Bay immediately east of Clover Point, including all the country between that line and the Inlet of Camosun.
The condition of or understanding of this sale is this, that our village sites and enclosed fields are to be kept for our own use, for the use of our children, and for those who may follow after us; and the land shall be properly surveyed hereafter. It is understood, however, that the land itself, with these small exceptions, becomes the entire property of the white people for ever; it is also understood that we are at liberty to hunt over the unoccupied lands, and to carry on our fisheries as formerly.
We have received, as payment, Seventy-five pounds sterling.
In token whereof, we have signed our n.

4. Ah ah
we come from the land of the ice and snow
from the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.
the hammer of the gods
will drive our ships to new lands
to fight the horde singing and crying:
Valhalla i am coming!
on we sweep with threshing oar
our only goal will be the western shore.
ah ah
5. we come from the land of the ice and snow
from the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.
how soft your fields so green,
can whisper tales of gore,
of how we calmed the tides of war.
we are your overlords.
on we sweep with threshing oar,
our only goal will be the western shore.
so now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
for peace and trust can win the day
despite of all your losing.
7. We think that the song is about the people who came
from other places and arrived at the occident coast with
the idea of conquer new places. Also, those immigrants
wanted to put order, peace and became the lords of the
people who lived there.
But it is more accurate to say that this song is about
Vikings, and the group tell this story from their own
perspective. Vikings were from Scandinavia and they
moved looking for new places. We also believe that
occident had some problems and the Vikings wanted to
go there to help people, but not without any reason…
they would not help without a purpose. Vikings were
raiders, traders, explorers, and settlers. So we think they
would give their help in exchange for keeping the other
people’s lands.
8. “The hammer of the Gods
will drive our ships to new
lands"
This line is about the travel
that the Vikings made to
arrive at the occident coast.
9. “How soft your fields so green, can whisper
tales of gore, of how we calmed the tides of
war. We are your overlords"
This stanza is about the places where the Vikings
landed and they said that in those lands they
lived stories of war. They said that when they
arrived they calmed down everything there, that
was the reason why they considered themselves
to be the lords of those people.
10. "On we sweep with threshing oar.
Our only goal will be the shore"
In this line they explain that the
only thing they wanted was to
arrive there and they would not
stop until they achieve that.
11. "So now you'd better stop and rebuilt
all you ruins, for peace and a trust can
win the day despite of all your losing"
What we interpreted in this stanza is that
the Vikings wanted to help people in
some places, give them peace in
exchange for the power of the town and
people who lived there.
12. CONCLUTION
We think that the Vikings believed they were
doing a favor to the people in the occident
when they arrived, as immigrants, to land.
They wanted to finish with the war in the place
and give them peace, but in the end they
wanted something in exchange. So they did
not really have good intentions and the only
thing they wanted was the power, not the
peace for the people living in those towns.
13. Historical Background

During the 10th century they brought
Christianity back to Scandinavia.
14. Scandinavia:
Scandinavia is a region of northern Europe
