The Swordfish Hunters or Red Paint People as they are called because of the red ochre in their burial sites, were a remarkable culture living on the coast of Maine between 4500 and 3800 years ago. They appeared, briefly flourished, and then vanished without explanation, leaving plentiful evidence of their maritime prowess, from exquisitely carved bone daggers to harpoons and fishing gear whose basic design has not been improved upon in five millennia.

This book was released on 2023-03-07. Red Paint available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. An Indigenous artist blends the aesthetics of punk rock with the traditional spiritual practices of the women in her lineage in this bold, contemporary journey to reclaim her heritage and unleash her power and voice while searching for a permanent home Sasha taqʷšəblu LaPointe has always longed for a sense of home. When she was a child, her family moved around frequently, often staying in barely habitable church attics and trailers, dangerous places for young Sasha. With little more to guide her than a passion for the thriving punk scene of the Pacific Northwest and a desire to live up to the responsibility of being the namesake of her beloved great-grandmother—a linguist who helped preserve her Indigenous language of Lushootseed—Sasha throws herself headlong into the world, determined to build a better future for herself and her people. Set against a backdrop of the breathtaking beauty of Coast Salish ancestral land and imbued with the universal spirit of punk, Red Paint is ultimately a story of the ways we learn to find our true selves while fighting for our right to claim a place of our own. Examining what it means to be vulnerable in love and in art, Sasha offers up an unblinking reckoning with personal traumas amplified by the collective historical traumas of colonialism and genocide that continue to haunt native peoples. Red Paint is an intersectional autobiography of lineage, resilience, and, above all, the ability to heal.

In Search of Maine's Red Paint People available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In the early 1890's Maine became the focal point for the newly developed scientific methods used in archaeology. The Peabody Museum of Harvard, and the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, sent Assistant Curator Willoughby and later Professor Warren K. Moorehead to investigate a mysterious race of people, unknown at that time. Remarkable stone artifacts were discovered in Red Ochre Burials in Bucksport, Orland and surrounding towns. For a hundred years these Prehistoric people would be researched, investigated and argued over by any and all professionals. In the 1990's laws were passed that returned all grave goods to those who claimed them. Museums across the country were cleaned out and artifacts were returned to those who lived in the same areas 5,000 years later. The history of the Red Paint People is being lost, ignored and actively erased across the state of Maine. Those Professionals in charge, are retiring, looking the other way, or forgetting the importance of those who have come before.It is my goal with this book to raise awareness of the history that is being lost. The sites that are being destroyed and the locations that are being constructed on, without any state professionals attempting to save the history behind these people, that once called Maine their home and are now becoming lost to time.

The Red Man's Bones: George Catlin, Artist and Showman available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The first biography in over sixty years of a great American artist whose paintings are more famous than the man who made them. George Catlin has been called the “first artist of the West,” as none before him lived among and painted the Native American tribes of the Northern Plains. After a false start as a painter of miniatures, Catlin found his calling: to fix the image of a “vanishing race” before their “extermination”—his word—by a government greedy for their lands. In the first six years of the 1830s, he created over six hundred portraits—unforgettable likenesses of individual chiefs, warriors, braves, squaws, and children belonging to more than thirty tribes living along the upper Missouri River. Political forces thwarted Catlin’s ambition to sell what he called his “Indian Gallery” as a national collection, and in 1840 the artist began three decades of self-imposed exile abroad. For a time, his exhibitions and writings made him the most celebrated American expatriate in London and Paris. He was toasted by Queen Victoria and breakfasted with King Louis-Philippe, who created a special gallery in the Louvre to show his pictures. But when he started to tour “live” troupes of Ojibbewa and Iowa, Catlin and his fortunes declined: He changed from artist to showman, and from advocate to exploiter of his native performers. Tragedy and loss engulfed both. This brilliant and humane portrait brings to life George Catlin and his Indian subjects for our own time. An American original, he still personifies the artist as a figure of controversy, torn by conflicting demands of art and success.

Tenja of the Red Paint People tells the story of a teenage girl living long ago in what is now northeastern Canada. Tall, strong, and lanky, Tenja loves to run and has exceptional speed and stamina for her age. She also has an unusual thirst for knowledge, learning a great deal particularly from the older men and women of her extended family. She is a keen observer of the great variety of life forms around her, noting things that others might not even detect. She lives in a land of plenty with her family and relatives. Her tribe carries on the custom of painting their bodies and their possessions with red paint made from red ochre. As a result, their neighbors to the north, the Inu or Eskimos, call Tenjas tribe the Red Paint People. Small bands of marauders from the east are a threat to be reckoned with, as are the many dangers from a very wide variety of wild animals. Even though she lived thousands of years ago, Tenja tackled some of the same basic predicaments many teenagers find themselves in today. Journey in Tenjas moccasins and experience an adventure set over 8,000 years ago.
