Immortal Images of Native Americans

Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:53:00 -0500

“Edward Curtis gave up a life as a prominent portrait photographer to start his Indian epic, and spent more than 30 years producing the 20 volumes of “The North American Indian.” It was called “the most gigantic undertaking since the making of the King James edition of the Bible” by The New York Herald.

….Curtis was looking for the authenticity that the early 20th century was crushing. He urged Indians, many of them his friends, to show him the dances and ceremonies that the government was then trying to outlaw. In essence, he was an accomplice to a crime – urging people who were not yet citizens to show him the old ways.”

A visitor to the F.D.R. Memorial, in Washington, is confronted by these words from Roosevelt’s second Inaugural Address, etched in stone:

“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide for those who have too little.”

-The New Yorker endorses Barack Obama

“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.”

- Noam Chomsky (via thegoldscare)

I reblog this in reference to the current debate, and our “opposing” candidates.

If you are terrified of snakes then I suppose this beautiful Serpents series by Paris based artist Guido Mocafico isn’t really your cup of tea.

Jan. 26:

Relatives of Mayans killed in genocide during the Efrain Rios Montt dictatorship in Guatemala watch his hearing in a Guatemala City courtroom.

Riots Montt is being charged with genocide and crimes against humanity after a court decided there was enough evidence to charge him. One of the cases they considered was the deaths of 1,700 ethnic Mayans, who were killed in a single ‘counterinsurgency’ operation during the Guatemalan Civil War.

He was armed by the U.S. during this period, which means the U.S. is also responsible for genocide.

Screenshots taken from this trailer of Grandma’s Tattoos (dir. Suzanne Khardalian).

In 1919, just at the end of World War I, the Allied forces reclaimed 90,819 Armenian young girls and children who, during the war years, were forced to become prostitutes to survive, or had given birth to children after forced or arranged marriages or rape. Many of these women were tattooed as a sign that they belonged to abductor.

The story of “Grandma’s Tattoos” is a personal film about what happened to many Armenian women during the genocide. It is a ghost story—with the ghosts of the tattooed women haunting us—and a mystery film, where many taboos are broken.
