NEW My People of the Plains - Talbot, Ethelbert

In today's society many people are vulnerable to compulsive behaviours and addictions that can, at least, change personalities and at worst, destroy lives. Through a mixture of scripture passages, reflections and prayers, this short book seeks to offer prayerful support to people who suffer from problems with alcohol or drugs and those whose lives are affected by other behaviours such as gambling, over-spending, excessive working, eating or its reverse, dieting. Comfort My People is no substitute for seeking medical and professional help; rather, drawing on the inspirational life of the Venerable Matt Talbot, its intention is to offer encouragement and spiritual support in times of suffering and stress.

Photographs and text of the land and the people who live within the ten Great Plains states from Montana and North Dakota to the Texas Panhandle. Interviewed and photographed are farmers, ranchers, wheat whackers, cowboys, well driller, vintners, school teachers, Native Americans and others. The talk about living in a land harsh but free. This is an historical and important document as the Plains, in places, loses its people and recedes into frontier land.

The tipi is an iconic symbol of Native North American culture, recognized throughout the world. Tipi: Heritage of the Great Plains reveals the history and significance of this remarkable architectural form from the 1830s to the present. Ideally suited to a nomadic lifestyle on the Plains, the tipi was the heart of Plains social, religious, and creative traditions. Trade and innovation brought new materials and ways of living to Plains people. As the nomadic way of life gave way to more permanent settlements, the tipi evolved in form but remained central to Plains culture and identity. The book examines the history and continuing tradition of the tipi by focusing on tribes from three geographical regions: the Blackfeet, Crow, Shoshone, and Northern Cheyenne in the north; the Arapaho and many Sioux groups, including Dakota, Yankton, Yanktonai, Lakota, Húnkpapa, and Oglala, in the Central Plains; and the Pawnee, Osage, Kiowa, Southern Cheyenne, Comanche, and Plains Apache in the south. Included are first-person narratives by Native people-elders, artists, military veterans, and an architect-that tell of the lasting cultural significance of the tipi within an ongoing process of cultural and artistic interpretation. The volume is richly illustrated with historic and contemporary photographs and artwork. Art made by women, who were the tipi makers and owners, include furnishings, clothing, and accessories. Associated with tipi-centered family life, these objects feature intricate beadwork, quill embroidery, and painting. Other artwork relate to the male warrior tradition: tipi liners, traditionally painted by men with their war exploits, as well as other objects associated with warfare and warrior societies. Children's life in the tipi is illustrated by cradles, garments, toys, and games. Works by contemporary Native artists represent modern interpretations of traditional forms. Dispelling stereotypes of the tipi as a picturesque vestige of the past, Tipi: Heritage of the Great Plains demonstrates how the tipi remains a part of a living culture deeply rooted in tradition.Nancy B. Rosoff is Andrew W. Mellon Curator of the Arts of the Americas and Susan Kennedy Zeller is associate curator of Native American art, both at the Brooklyn Museum. Other contributors include Heywood and Mary Lou Big Day (Crow), Christina E. Burke, Teri Greeves (Kiowa), Barbara A. Hail, Emma I. Hansen (Pawnee), Michael P.

The fourth of 12 singing Westerns starring the "Silvery-Voiced Baritone, " Fred Scott, MELODY OF THE PLAINS begins peacefully enough with Scott, as cowboy Steve Condon, warbling Don Swander and June Hershey's "Albuquerque." The story quickly takes a rather grim turn when one of Steve's colleagues, Bud (David Sharpe), is shot and killed after selling out to a gang of rustlers. Mistakenly believing he fired the deadly shot, a dejected Steve, along with sidekick Fuzzy (Al St. John), goes to work for Bud's father (Lafe McKee), a rancher nearly forced into bankruptcy by a crooked land developer (Hal Price). The latter hires Bud's real killer (Charles "Slim" Whitaker) to infiltrate the ranch hands, but Steve and Fuzzy see through the ruse and bring the villains to justice. In addition to "Albuquerque, " Fred Scott performs "A Hideaway in Happy Valley, " also by Swander and Hershey.

At a time when volcanoes were being born in what is now New Mexico, clans of hunter-gatherers were already living in the Great Plains. Primordial beasts roamed the land: creatures like the giant sloth, the flat-faced bear, the woolly mammoth, and the dire wolf hunted there, often coming into conflict with their two-legged prey. When Do-na-ti reaches adulthood, he slays the badger for his ceremonial cloak. By wedding E-lo-ni, he unites their clans. Together they must face battle with dire wolves, a stampede of mammoths that destroys their lodge, and the birth of a new volcano, fulfilling an old woman's prophecy and Do-na-ti's conviction that his son must become brother to the mountain. "Mayhar has a way of drawing the reader seamlessly into her historical narratives. You can smell the breath of the dire wolf as it closes in for the kill!" -- Robert Reginald
