THE FRENCH AND INDIAN WARS OF THE MIAMI

 

The Twightwee tiptoed from their teepees

Tell me, Miami, could you hear them?

Twa'h, twa'h, the cry of a crane...

It seemed only by mere chance,

but then it happened again

 

In passing time, the burden exceeds-

The towering structures must fall,

under weight of words and deeds

 

Life seems quite fine, to a nation flush with pride

Treaties seem less fair, to the people pushed aside

Many raging vows they said

Mounds of rubble buried the dead

 

The crane warnings grew louder with every squawk

Atchatchakangouen, as they were called

led by Little Turtle, burned the town

Twicktwigs scalped settlers with tomahawks

 

The name of my kind was "Maumee"

When Tecumseh was in his prime

Restless spirits return for recompense

of wounds not healed with the passage of time

The Miami called themselves Twightwee (Twatwa), their name for

the cry of the crane and the symbol of the Atchakangouen (Miami

Proper). Miami comes from their Ojibwe name, Oumami

altered by the French and English into our familiar form of

Miami (Maumee)

Florida's Mark Foley, Republican U.S. Senate Candidate, Outed

 

Right-Winger Refusing to Acknowledge His Sexual Orientation

 

Palm Beach County Five-Term Lawmaker Furious Over Rumors

 

By Scott A. Giordano

 

Rep. Mark Foley says discussion of his sexuality is off limits A

five-term Republican lawmaker from Florida's Palm Beach County

who is also a primary candidate for the U.S. Senate has declared

that questions about his sexual orientation are off limits, to

the dismay of many liberal activists who say U.S. Representative

Mark Foley is sending a hurtful message that there is something

wrong with being gay.

Miami. The name is thought to be derived from the Chippewa word

Omaumeg, signifying "people on the peninsula,'" but according to

their own traditions, it came from the word for pigeon.

 

The name used by themselves, as recorded and often used by early

writers, is Twightwees, derived from the cry of a crane.

 

Also called:

 

Naked Indians, a common applellation used by the colonists, from

a confusion of twa'h, twa'h, the cry of a crane with tawa, "naked."

 

French writers divided the Miami into the following five bands:

Piankashaw, Wea, Atchatchakangouen, Kiltika, Menakonkia, and

Pepicokia. The first two later became recognised as independent

tribes, the last may have been absorbed by the Piankashaw but

this and the other three divisions are no longer recognised.

2 reported dead in Florida crane collapse. By Damien Cave and

John Sullivan ... 'Magic is over' for U.S., says French foreign

minister. 5. .

 

iht.com/articles/2008/03/25/america/25cndcrane.php

 

Earlier this month, a crane collapsed on the East Side of

Manhattan, killing seven people and damaging several buildings.

The cause of that accident, which occurred as workers raised the

crane, remains under investigation. A New York City building

inspector has been charged with faking an inspection report that

said he visited the site 11 days before the collapse, although

city officials have said the crane was separately inspected just

days before the accident.

------------------------------------------------------------------

http://www.historicforks.org/miami/miamiexhibit/name.html

 

Several histories of the Miami name exist. One story explains

that the "Miami discovered the Cherokee and were in the habit of

making war on them." The Miami fought the Cherokee three times

when the Cherokee decided to fight back.

 

Following the Miami to a prairie, the Cherokee saw two cranes.

The Cherokee ran after the cranes across the prairie and found

the Miami on the other side. Squawking, the scared cranes warned

the Miami of the Cherokee's approach. A battle between the two

soon followed. As the Miami and Cherokee struggled the cranes

became more and more loud and then flew away. At the end only

one Cherokee was left. When he returned to his village the

Cherokee man announced that his war party was defeated not by

people but by "the Twau twaus who could fly off at will."

 

Johnson Virtual Exhibit of Miami Culture

 

The Iriquois name for the Miami is also similar to "Twau twau."

 

Early European reports mention the crane as the symbol of the

Miami and even include some variations of the Irioquois and

Cherokee name. Some examples include: Tweeghtwees, Twicktwigs

and Twightwees.

After repeated refusals to return, a party of northern Indians,

led by a French trader, Langlade, in June, 1752, attacked and

burned the town, killing and eating La Demoiselle, and carrying

the traders to Canada. By this time the whole tribe was settled

along the Wabash and the upper Maumee. They generally sided with

the French in the French and Indian and Pontiac's wars, and with

the English against the Americans in the later wars. Their great

chief, Mishikinakwa, or Little Turtle (1752-1812), led the

allied Indian forces which defeated Harmar in 1790 and St. Clair

in 1791, but was himself defeated by Wayne in 1794, resulting in

the famous Treaty of Greenville in the next year, by which the

Indians surrendered the greater part of Ohio.

information on the life of this great Native American leader.

littleturtle.net/

 

Little Turtle, hailed as the last Chief of the Miami Indians,

was born in 1782 near Devil's Lake, northwest of Churubusco in

Whitley County, Indiana. Little Turtle was the son of the Miami

chief Acquenacke and a Mahican mother. Soon after his birth, his

father moved the family to Ohio. As a young man, Little Turtle

earned respect as a warrior for being brave in battle. Me-she-

kin-no-quah later moved to the village of Ke-ki-ong-a. Kekinonga

means blackberry patch. This was the Miami capitol, now known as

Fort Wayne, Indiana.

 

He led defeats of Gen. Josiah Harmar's and Gen. Arthur St. Clair's

troops in the early 1790s. Little Turtle and his warriors were

not beaten until 1793, when Gen. Anthony Wayne and his garrison

routed the Miami at the battle of Fallen Timbers in August 1794.

This defeat effectively put an end to two decades of warfare.

The battle site is now a state park southwest of Toledo, Ohio.

On a serene September day in 1958 a grappling bucket on a

swinging crane bit off the roof of the east tower of Harrison

Hall. After a century and a third the old Main Building was

coming down. At various times it had included lodging rooms,

recitation rooms , the Literary Halls, a chapel, a library

chamber, the president's office, the secretary's office, a

printing room, a scientific laboratory, a gymnasium room, a

dining commons, an art studio and a theater. Early in 1959

foundations were laid for the second Harrison Hall, with twin

towers and a portico reminiscent of the first, that eventually

would house one department rather than a college.

 

Already the original edition of The Miami Years, 1809-1959 had

appeared, and after a national competition a Sesquicentennial

medallion was issued. On one side the medal showed a Miami

figure holding the lamp of learning and on the other a crisp

design of buckeye leaves and an outline map of Ohio framing "150

Years of Growth and Service." Though the jurors did not know it,

this prizewinner was the work of Robert B. Butler of Miami's Art

Department. While pondering his design Professor Butler had been

chiseling the bas-reliefs on the recently finished Hiestand Fine

Arts Hall.

 

He spoke for twenty minutes on "The College Graduate's

Responsibility in Politics." After singing the Alma Mater,

students swarmed around him. No one knew that he would be

President and that recent Miami visitor Robert Frost would read

a poem at his inaugural under the sunlit dome of the Capitol and

that in four years both would belong to history. But there was

something electric in the September air. After that convocation

a reporter in the Miami Student concluded: "Though not

committing himself as a candidate for the presidential

nomination, Kennedy gave indication that he is likely to be on

the ticket in the Ohio Democratic primary." More prophetic was

the Student columnist who saw in the young Senator "the

patrician in politics" and sensed in him "the coiled springs of

ambition and an air of mission." For both campus political clubs

the Kennedy visit was vitalizing. A year later, in the fall of

1960, the Miami Young Democrats were manning a campaign post

across from the Post Office on High Street, handing out ribbons,

buttons and literature.

 

Three years later, Friday, November 22, was a sunless day in

Oxford. On that chill gray afternoon the startling word

"assassination" went over the campus and people crowded around

radio and television screens for news from Dallas. At four

thirty, two students walking past the Bell Tower crossed the

grass to the university flagpole

the Miami had two principal totems- the elk and crane-while some

of them had the bear. The French writers call the

Atchatchakangouen (Crane) the leading division. At a great

conference on the Maumee in Ohio in 1793 the Miami signed, with

the turtle totem. None of these totems occurs in Morgan's list.

NEW YORK -- The last of seven bodies was pulled from the rubble

Monday at the site of a crane collapse that obliterated a town

house and severely damaged other buildings.

 

Six construction workers and a woman in town for St. Patrick's

Day were killed Saturday when the crane broke away from an

apartment tower under construction and toppled like a tree onto

buildings as far as a block away. The last three bodies were

found Monday.

 

A preliminary city investigation found that the crane toppled

after a steel collar used to tie it to the side of the building

fell as workers attempted to install it.

 

When the equipment fell it damaged a lower steel collar that was

a major anchor securing the tower crane. Investigators say that

with the elimination of the lower support the counter-weights at

the top of the crane's tower caused it to fall.

 

The crane, which rose 19 stories, came crashing down on a

Manhattan neighborhood a few blocks from the United Nations on

the city's east side.

 

All the dead were construction workers except for a woman who

was in the four-story town house that was demolished when the

crane fell on it.

 

The woman had come from Miami to celebrate St. Patrick's Day

Miami crane accident update

Investigators search for cause of another crane collapse

MIAMI (AP) - Authorities in Miami are trying to find out what

caused a section of a construction crane to crash onto a home,

leaving two workers dead and five more hurt.

 

It was the second deadly crane accident in 10 days, following a

collapse in New York City that killed seven people.

 

The two-story home with a Spanish-tiled roof was used in the

movie "There's Something About Mary" -- it's where Cameron Diaz's

character lived.

Little does he know that his passenger is an escaped homicidal

mental patient who is about to slit his benefactor's throat.

 

Fortuitously, our hero has to stop at a rest stop to take a piss

(shades of Buffalo 66 ). Stumbling from the frying pan into the

fire, as it were, he trips over a gay participant in the

nocturnal revels in the bushes adjoining the rest stop. With

impeccable sad-sack timing, an innocent "straight" man with a

full bladder is found sprawled on the ground in a "vice squad"

dragnet of the area, and is trundled off to the hoosegow, where

he is lovingly embraced by his newfound companions in pleasure.

Mary Brave Bird Speaks: A Brief Interview

 

Christopher Wise and R. Todd Wise

 

We had many questions for Brave Bird, which we hoped to ask her

in late May 1998 when she was scheduled to give the keynote

address at the "Sisters of Color" Conference, held at Western

Washington University. However, the afternoon of her address, we

were disappointed to learn that Brave Bird would not be coming.

It seemed our questions would go unanswered.

 

I phoned Mary's mother, who seemed to think Mary would go along

with the interview. However, Mary did not have a phone, so there

was no way to confirm with her directly. On the morning of June

19, 1998, Todd and I drove the five hours or so from Sioux Falls

to Rosebud, planning to ask around until we found Mary's place

 

A second interview with Brave Bird, more overtly political in

content, will be published in Roseanne Kanhai's forthcoming

Sisters Uprising (the Sisters of Color conference proceedings

Clark Kent: Did-- Did your . . . Did your people do that?

[Points to the overturned tractor.]

 

Bird Woman: No.

 

Clark Kent: Do you know who did?

 

[The Bird Woman looks up into the sky and sees a flock of birds

flying overhead.]

 

Bird Woman: The birds did it.

 

Clark has faith in what the Bird Woman said, however, and

explains how lack of evidence of people doing this supports the

idea that maybe birds really did it. T.J. says that he thinks

"this Indian stuff is just a cover."]

 

Superboy flies over the Florida wetlands

 

Clark Kent: Mr. Hogan, I was talking with the old Indian woman

and she's willing to--

 

Mr. Hogan: She's crazy! Crazy! She talks to birds!

 

Aside from the overt religious and ideological content, one

interesting aspect of this episode is the Native American woman.

She is portrayed as an active practitioner of traditional Native

American religion and Native American magic. In fact, despite

her feeble appearance, she rather easily defeats Superboy in a

brief skirmish. One must conclude that either Superboy is

something of a wimp in this TV series, or that Native Americans

practice surprisingly powerful magic.

2. Whooping Crane Reintroduction Project Summary

 

The whooping crane is one of the best known endangered species.

They symbolize the struggle to maintain the vanishing creatures

of our world. .

At the time of Christopher Columbus ' arrival in the New World,

the Native American population living in what is now the United

States was estimated at about one million. By 1880, only 250,000

Indians remained and this gave rise to the "Vanishing American"

theory.

 

The Swastika Shadow Over Native Americans

World War II signalled a major break from the past and offered

unparalleled opportunities for Indians to compete in the white

man's world. Because the Choctaw language had befuddled German

code-breakers in World War I, the Gemman government feared the

likelihood of Indian communications specialists as World War II

loomed. During the 1930s, Nazi agents posing as anthropologists

and writers on reservations tried to subvert some Indian tribes

and learn their language. Pan-Nazi agitators from the German-

American Bund tried to persuade Indians not to register for the

draft. Third Reich Propaganda Minister Josef Goebbels predicted

Indians would revolt rather than fight Gemmany because the

Swastika was similarto an Indian mystical bird symbol depicting

good luck.

 

Indians leamed assertiveness they could use in their fight for

equal rights after the war.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10271a.htm

 

About 1685 the French recognized six bands, or subtribes, in the

tribe, consolidated at a later period into three, namely:

Atchatchakangouen, "crane people", or Miami proper; Ouiatanon,

"whirlpool people", or Wea; and Pianguichia, "separators" (?),

or Piankishaw.

 

A third Jesuit mission existed among the Piankishaw, who had

their principal village lower down the Wabash, adjoining the

present town of Vincennes, founded in 1702. After the

suppression of the Jesuits in New France in 1762, the

missionaries continued their work, as seculars, as well as was

possible, until their deaths, Father Pierre Potier,

"the last Jesuit in the west", dying at Detroit in 1781.

I am but a dragon by karma

 

Wei Cheng, sitting in his house at night, surveying the

constellations and burning rare incense, suddenly heard the cry

of a crane high up in the sky, and in a moment there alighted a

heavenly messenger, bearing instructions from the Jade Emperor

that Wei Cheng was in dream to execute the dragon king of the

Ching River at noon next day

 

Now I am an assistant judge at the Courts of the Dead

Ok, first off, I get this little thing in the mail called 1000

Years of Darkness. Prepare yourself for alot of Uji talk

 

The tournment was The Sword of Spirits and whatever faction won

would be rewarded the sword that killed the Steel Chrysanthemum

by the Seppun.

 

I played a Dragon dueler who just got everything he needed when

he needed it. I ended up 2-3. Now, I'm blaming this record on

the fact that I drove 19 hours and didn't have a solid night

sleep, this might not be the actual reason but the opportunity

to blame it is there and I'd be damned if I'm not grabbing it.

Danzen finished off in the top 8 but then fell to a Crane dueler,

I'm fairly certian he'd be blameing the travel time too... yeah,

thats it. The sword was eventually won by a Shadowlands player

over a Crab player

 

I picked Crane because I need another Celestial Sword and end up

building a honor/dueling deck

 

Here we go again. Just returned from Tacticon where I took first

in the open tourney there (honestly nothing to brag about, only

eight players and two of them were dragged in so we could make

it sanctioned). But I am still very proud of my new military

Crane deck

 

I'm thinking either Pearl starter with Soul and Honor boosters

or Soul starter with Pearl and Honor boosters.

 

The clan of Crane of course.

 

Look for some new stuff when we get the rules for Daidoji

inventions in 'Secrets of the Crane'. When time permits, I'll

update my deck list to feature the four new Crane decks I have

 

Finally this brings us to the biggest loss of the month, Strike

at Midnight. I had originally built a Daidoji millitary deck to

compete with, but then the night before my friend asked for his

Wedges that I was barrowing back, so I had to revert to a Crane

Duelist,

chapter_02.htm

 

Charles Crane, vice president of the Crane Company, had

organized the Westinghouse Company in Russia, was a member of

the Root mission to Russia, and had made no fewer than twenty-

three visits to Russia between 1890 and 1930. Richard Crane, his

son, was confidential assistant to then Secretary of State

Robert Lansing. According to the former ambassador to Germany

William Dodd, Crane "did much to bring on the Kerensky

revolution which gave way to Communism.

 

The Trotsky party was removed from the S.S. Kristianiafjord

under official instructions received by cablegram of March 29,

1917, London, presumably originating in the Admiralty with the

naval control officer, Halifax. The cablegram reported that the

Trotsky party was on the "Christianiafjord" (sic) and should be

"taken off and retained pending instructions." The reason given

to the naval control officer at Halifax was that "these are

Russian Socialists leaving for purposes of starting revolution

against present Russian government for which Trotsky is reported

to have 10,000 dollars subscribed by Socialists and Germans."

 

And so Steffens' comments in his diary about conversations

aboard the S.S. Kristianiafjord are highly pertinent:" . . . all

agree that the revolution is in its first phase only, that it

must grow. Crane and Russian radicals on the ship think we shall

be in Petrograd for the re-revolution.

In the wee hours of Tuesday morning, Tinker Bell is dancing in

the air above Epcot. Her flight, though, is not by virtue of

Disney pixie dust -- instead, the fairy is dangling from a

crane's cable, spinning a slow waltz above a wooden pirate ship

piloted by an ominous-looking Captain Hook.
