Lhuyd concluded that as the languages had been of Celtic origin, the people who spoke those languages were Celts. According to a more recent hypothesis, also widely embraced today, Goidelic and Brythonic languages, collectively known as Insular Celtic languages , evolved together for some time separately from Continental Celtic languages such as Gaulish and Celtiberian.
From the 18th century, the peoples of Brittany , Cornwall , Ireland , Isle of Man , Scotland and Wales were known increasingly as Celts, and they are regarded as the modern Celtic nations today.
The Bible translations into Welsh helped to maintain the use of Welsh in daily life. The Welsh Language Act and the Government of Wales Act provide that the English and Welsh languages be treated on a basis of equality, and both are used as working languages within the National Assembly.
Code-switching is common in all parts of Wales and is known by various terms, though none is recognised by professional linguists.
It has been influenced significantly by Welsh grammar and includes words derived from Welsh. According to John Davies, Wenglish has "been the object of far greater prejudice than anything suffered by Welsh".
The Census showed , people, Road signs in Wales are generally in both English and Welsh; where place names differ in the two languages, both versions are used e.
Under new regulations that came into force in , the Welsh Language Commissioner requires local authorities and Welsh Government to ensure that all new or renewed road signs that use both languages to feature the Welsh language first.
During the 20th century, a number of small communities of speakers of languages other than Welsh or English, such as Bengali or Cantonese , established themselves in Wales as a result of immigration.
The largest religion in Wales is Christianity, with The Presbyterian Church of Wales was born out of the Welsh Methodist revival in the 18th century and seceded from the Church of England in Islam is the largest non-Christian religion in Wales, with 24, 0.
There are also communities of Hindus and Sikhs , mainly in the south Wales cities of Newport, Cardiff and Swansea, while the largest concentration of Buddhists is in the western rural county of Ceredigion.
The remnants of the native Celtic mythology of the pre-Christian Britons was passed down orally, in much-altered form, by the cynfeirdd the early poets.
Wales can claim one of the oldest unbroken literary traditions in Europe. The Poets of the Princes were professional poets who composed eulogies and elegies to the Welsh princes while the Poets of the Gentry were a school of poets that favoured the cywydd metre.
Despite the extinction of the professional poet, the integration of the native elite into a wider cultural world did bring other literary benefits.
Major developments in 19th-century Welsh literature include Lady Charlotte Guest's translation of the Mabinogion, one of the most important medieval Welsh prose tales of Celtic mythology, into English.
The 20th century experienced an important shift away from the stilted and long-winded Victorian Welsh prose, with Thomas Gwynn Jones leading the way with his work Ymadawiad Arthur.
Though the inter-war period is dominated by Saunders Lewis , for his political and reactionary views as much as his plays, poetry and criticism.
Thomas was one of the most notable and popular Welsh writers of the 20th century and one of the most innovative poets of his time.
The attitude of the post-war generation of Welsh writers in English towards Wales differs from the previous generation, in that they were more sympathetic to Welsh nationalism and to the Welsh language.
The change can be linked to the nationalist fervour generated by Saunders Lewis and the burning of the Bombing School on the Lleyn Peninsula in , along with a sense of crisis generated by World War II.
Thomas — was the most important figure throughout the second half of the twentieth century. While he "did not learn the Welsh language until he was 30 and wrote all his poems in English",  he wanted the Welsh language to be made the first language of Wales, and the official policy of bilingualism abolished.
The major novelist in the second half of the twentieth century was Emyr Humphreys Born near Abergavenny , Williams continued the earlier tradition of writing from a left-wing perspective on the Welsh industrial scene in his trilogy " Border Country " , "Second Generation" , and "The Fight for Manod" He also enjoyed a reputation as a cultural historian.
The National Museum [of] Wales was founded by royal charter in and is now a Welsh Government sponsored body. In April , the attractions attached to the National Museum were granted free entry by the Assembly, and this action saw the visitor numbers to the sites increase during — by Aberystwyth is home to the National Library of Wales , which houses some of the most important collections in Wales, including the Sir John Williams Collection and the Shirburn Castle collection.
Many works of Celtic art have been found in Wales. A number of illuminated manuscripts from Wales survive, of which the 8th-century Hereford Gospels and Lichfield Gospels are the most notable.
The 11th-century Ricemarch Psalter now in Dublin is certainly Welsh, made in St David's , and shows a late Insular style with unusual Viking influence.
The best of the few Welsh artists of the 16th—18th centuries tended to leave the country to work, many of them moving to London or Italy. Richard Wilson —82 is arguably the first major British landscapist.
Although more notable for his Italian scenes, he painted several Welsh scenes on visits from London. By the late 18th century, the popularity of landscape art grew and clients were found in the larger Welsh towns, allowing more Welsh artists to stay in their homeland.
Artists from outside Wales were also drawn to paint Welsh scenery, at first because of the Celtic Revival. Then in the early 19th century, the Napoleonic Wars preventing the Grand Tour to continental Europe, travel through Wales came to be considered more accessible.
An Act of Parliament in provided for the establishment of a number of art schools throughout the United Kingdom and the Cardiff School of Art opened in Graduates still very often had to leave Wales to work, but Betws-y-Coed became a popular centre for artists and its artists' colony helped form the Royal Cambrian Academy of Art in Christopher Williams , whose subjects were mostly resolutely Welsh, was also based in London.
Stephens and Andrew Vicari had very successful careers as portraitists based respectively in the United States and France. Many Welsh painters gravitated towards the art capitals of Europe.
However, the landscapists Sir Kyffin Williams and Peter Prendergast lived in Wales for most of their lives, while remaining in touch with the wider art world.
Ceri Richards was very engaged in the Welsh art scene as a teacher in Cardiff and even after moving to London. He was a figurative painter in international styles including Surrealism.
The Kardomah Gang was an intellectual circle centred on the poet Dylan Thomas and poet and artist Vernon Watkins in Swansea, which also included the painter Alfred Janes.
South Wales had several notable potteries , one of the first important sites being the Ewenny Pottery in Bridgend , which began producing earthenware in the 17th century.
It was officially recognised as the Welsh national flag in George which then represented the Kingdom of England and Wales.
The daffodil and the leek are both symbols of Wales. The origins of the leek can be traced to the 16th century, while the daffodil became popular in the 19th century, encouraged by David Lloyd George.
The red kite is a national symbol of Welsh wildlife. The Prince of Wales' heraldic badge is also sometimes used to symbolise Wales.
The badge, known as the Prince of Wales's feathers , consists of three white feathers emerging from a gold coronet.
A ribbon below the coronet bears the German motto Ich dien I serve. Several Welsh representative teams, including the Welsh rugby union, and Welsh regiments in the British Army the Royal Welsh , for example use the badge or a stylised version of it.
The Prince of Wales has claimed that only he has the authority to use the symbol. Land of My Fathers is the National Anthem of Wales, and is played at events such as football or rugby matches involving the Wales national team as well as the opening of the Welsh Assembly and other official occasions.
More than 50 national governing bodies regulate and organise their sports in Wales. Although football has traditionally been the more popular sport in north Wales , rugby union is seen as a symbol of Welsh identity and an expression of national consciousness.
The five professional sides that replaced the traditional club sides in major competitions in were replaced in by the four regions: Cardiff Blues , Dragons , Ospreys and Scarlets.
Wales has had its own football league , the Welsh Premier League , since Rugby league in Wales dates back to The Crusaders competed in the top level Super League competition from — A professional Welsh League existed from to Wales has produced several world-class participants of individual sports including snooker players Ray Reardon , Terry Griffiths , Mark Williams and Matthew Stevens.
Wales also has a tradition of producing world-class boxers. Wales has hosted several international sporting events.
All Welsh television broadcasts are digital. The last of the analogue transmitters ceased broadcasts in April , and Wales became the UK's first digital nation.
BBC Cymru Wales is the national broadcaster. Its output was mostly Welsh-language at peak hours but shared English-language content with Channel 4 at other times.
Since the digital switchover in April , the channel has broadcast exclusively in Welsh. Their remaining output is commissioned from ITV and independent producers.
Several regional radio stations broadcast in Welsh: Most of the newspapers sold and read in Wales are national newspapers available throughout Britain, unlike in Scotland where many newspapers have rebranded into Scottish-based titles.
The Western Mail is Wales' only national daily newspaper. Magazines published in Welsh and English cover general and specialist subjects.
Cambria , a Welsh affairs magazine published bi-monthly in English, has subscribers in over 30 countries. Although both beef and dairy cattle are raised widely, especially in Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, Wales is more well known for its sheep farming and thus lamb is the meat traditionally associated with Welsh cooking.
Traditional dishes include laverbread made from laver Porphyra umbilicalis , an edible seaweed ; bara brith fruit bread ; cawl a lamb stew ; cawl cennin leek soup ; Welsh cakes ; and Welsh lamb.
Cockles are sometimes served as a traditional breakfast with bacon and laverbread. Although Wales has its own traditional food and has absorbed much of the cuisine of England, Welsh diets now owe more to the countries of India , China and the United States.
Wales is often referred to as "the land of song",  and is notable for its harpists, male choirs, and solo artists. The principal Welsh festival of music and poetry is the annual National Eisteddfod.
The Llangollen International Eisteddfod echoes the National Eisteddfod but provides an opportunity for the singers and musicians of the world to perform.
Traditional music and dance in Wales is supported by a myriad of societies. The Welsh Folk Song Society has published a number of collections of songs and tunes.
Traditional instruments of Wales include telyn deires triple harp , fiddle, crwth , pibgorn hornpipe and other instruments.
Popular bands that emerged from Wales include the Beatles-nurtured power pop group Badfinger in the s, Man and Budgie in the s and the Alarm in the s.
Many groups emerged during the s, led by Manic Street Preachers , followed by the likes of the Stereophonics and Feeder ; notable during this period were Catatonia , Super Furry Animals , and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci who gained popular success as dual-language artists.
Male voice choirs emerged in the 19th century and continue today. Originally these choirs where formed as the tenor and bass sections of chapel choirs, and embraced the popular secular hymns of the day.
Along with the playhouses, there existed mobile companies at visiting fairs, though from most of these travelling theatres settled, purchasing theatres to perform in.
Drama in the early 20th century thrived, but the country failed to produce a Welsh National Theatre company.
After the Second World War the substantial number of amateur companies that had existed before the outbreak of hostilities reduced by two-thirds.
Other Welsh actors to have crossed the Atlantic more recently include: Dancing is a popular pastime in Wales; traditional dances include folk dancing and clog dancing.
The first mention of dancing in Wales is in a 12th-century account by Giraldus Cambrensis , but by the 19th century traditional dance had all but died out; this is attributed to the influence of Nonconformists and their belief that any physical diversion was worthless and satanic, especially mixed dancing.
The Welsh Folk Dance Society was founded in ;  it supports a network of national amateur dance teams and publishes support material.
Contemporary dance grew out of Cardiff in the s; one of the earliest companies, Moving Being, came from London to Cardiff in As well as celebrating many of the traditional religious festivals of Great Britain, such as Easter and Christmas, Wales has its own unique celebratory days.
An early festivity was Mabsant when local parishes would celebrate the patron saint of their local church.
Commemorating the patron saint of friendship and love, Dydd Santes Dwynwen 's popularity has been increasing recently. It is celebrated on 25 January in a similar way to St Valentine's Day: Calan Gaeaf , associated with the supernatural and the dead, is observed on 1 November All Saints Day.
It has largely been replaced by Hallowe'en. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This article is about the country.

The English were sometimes referred to as an entity in early poetry Saeson , as today but just as often as Eingl Angles , Iwys Wessex-men , etc.
Lloegr and Sacson became the norm later when England emerged as a kingdom. As for its origins, some scholars have suggested that it originally referred only to Mercia — at that time a powerful kingdom and for centuries the main foe of the Welsh.
It was then applied to the new kingdom of England as a whole see for instance Rachel Bromwich ed.

Somebody from KGB
Free Stage/Estonian National Museum
Danila says, “When I watched ‘Star Wars’ when I was 12 years old, I found myself thinking that I was looking at the situation from only one side. You look at the Death Star, you see Darth Vader and you’re being told that they’re all bad. So we’re afraid of them. But it would be so interesting to watch a film about how people live on board of the Death Star. They must be thinking something. Worrying, talking about something. Darth Vader must have feelings too. My entire life, I’ve heard people say that KGB is something terrible. That’s probably why I’ve always wanted to understand the chemistry behind their ‘fear’ – that thing that evokes fear in us.”
In the 1980s, then Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania became independent, the Baltic KGB found itself in a paradoxical situation. Never before had a powerful and strong Soviet Union organisation been disbanded in only a few days.
KGB disappeared but the people who worked there remained. They had served the Soviet Union for a long time and had gained a special position. And now, all of the sudden, they found themselves in a completely different world. The fates of the Baltic KGB agents varied. Some of them left, some started working for the special services of the new state, some killed themselves. Those who survived are now quite elderly. Some of them are hiding their past and others are bragging about it. There’s no rule of thumb.
We worked with an international team consisting of Russians, Lithuanians, Estonians and Latvians. We’re all from the same generation – born at the end of the 20th century which means that the entire Soviet history is just one piece of our past. We tried to find KGB collaborators from different countries and talk to them honestly. We wanted to understand what they thought about the past now that everything has changed – when the 21st century has replaced the 20th and nothing from what we had before can be brought back. What happened to these people in the whirlwind of changes? How did they perceive the changes at the time? What kind of conclusions can we draw from this and do we even need to draw them?

In which - Swan introduces herself.
When I was brought into existence, New York as we know it didn't exist. It was the land of the Great League of Peace, a group of five Native American nations stretching from what is now Canada into the Ohio Valley. The people I knew best were the Haudenosaunee, the People of the Long House, who European settlers later named the Iroquois.
The Haudenosaunee collectively named us - all elementals - the Jogah. We devas were called the Gandayah, the Drum Dancers. We were, of course, the guardians of plants and grains. There were also the Gahongas, the Stone Throwers, who sometimes caused rockfalls and earthquakes while moving things around and the Ohdows, who tended to those creatures who dwell underground.
It still amazes me just how much has changed in not quite two hundred and forty years.
Unlike the devas Zephyr first met, I'm not bitter toward humans. Yes, I watched the humans who came from Europe do great, sometimes irreparable, harm. But I have also seen humans do great good, acting to repair what they can and right the wrongs done by those who came before. Humans are strange. They have far more power than they realize. And the ones who would use that power well are many times the ones who distrust power most, because they've seen what happens when others misuse it. Or they don't realize the power even a small act has. But, to borrow a line from a book that Caroline's human loves, it's not always with the mightiest or most powerful that the fate of the Universe lies.
If you'd like to learn more about the Great League of Peace and the nations that were part of it, here's a good place to start: The Iroquois Nation.
And this link includes a tale the People of the Long House told of us. (Might I add that it really did happen. I was so glad we were able to do something.): The Jogah.

Exiled Tibetans celebrate Democracy Day. Tibetan democracy was founded in 1960. Unlike other people’s struggle for democracy, Tibetan democracy in exile was introduced, practiced and offered to the people by His Holiness The Great 14th Dalai Lama.


The Original de Havilland Beaver!
One of my colleagues at work found a family photo of what is believed to be the first ever production Beaver.
An article about “the bush plane” has been written by him (He does work for CBC News) and is a great read if you are interested in the history of one of Canada’s iconic airplanes.
There are some never before seen photographs included in the article that date back to the mid 50’s.

The Northern Case for Southern Secession
September 24, 2014
The Case for Southern Secession My grandparents were married for 54 years. My grandfather could be lovely, and he could just as easily be disdainful or absent. On the eve of their 54th New Year’s Eve together, my grandmother refused to accompany my grandfather to their condo in Florida….


New from Prufrock Press!
The Writing on the Walls: Discovering Medieval and Ancient Graffiti for Middle School Social Studies is an activity book for grades 6–8 to supplement the study of the cultures of medieval England, ancient Pompeii, and ancient Athens.
By looking at these cultures through the lens of graffiti, students learn about the everyday concerns and daily life of people who lived in the past. This up-close look at history will invigorate the classroom and engage and challenge students to identify with the past. For example, a piece of graffiti from ancient Pompeii that praises a "heartthrob" gladiator gets students to reflect on how they express feelings toward their own celebrity crushes.
Questions throughout the text and activities at the end of chapters encourage students to reflect on the material and assume the role of archaeologist/researcher. Reading lists provided at the end of chapters extend learning and invite students to continue exploring ancient cultures.
Also available from Amazon.com.
Toni B. Rhodes - Bio
My love of history goes back to my dad, who was an artist and amateur historian. On family vacations we had to stop and read every historical marker and tramp across every Civil War battle field. We visited Colonial Williamsburg and most of the Indian mounds in Pinellas County, Florida, where I grew up. As a child, I don't think I was too happy about our family explorations, but as the years passed, the love of history slowly began to rub off on me. When I became a teenager and learned to cook, I made my dad "Jailhouse Chili" -- supposedly a recreation of the spicy hot dish served to prisoners in the Wild, Wild West. My dad loved it, even though it gave him heartburn for a week, but I don't think my mom was excited about having to buy all those hard-to-find and unhealthy ingredients.
After getting a Master's Degree in education and teaching for ten years, I started writing educational materials. Guess what subject I chose to write about -- history! (and social studies, too).
Please contact me -- I'd love to hear how you like the materials I've written and how you use them in your classroom.


It may come as a complete surprise, but Playboy Bunnies were one of the groups of women at the forefront of the women’s liberation movement. Because we typically made 3 – 4 times more money than men, we soon gained our independence from the traditional roles that women had played. We were some of the first women to be free of the female stereotype of the time. The confidence the job instilled led many of us to a variety of highly successful careers.

that’s right. today is Texas‘ 176th birthday. on this day, 176 years ago, delegates gathered together at Washington-On-the-Brazos to issue a Declaration of Independence from the nation of Mexico. some facts about the Texas Revolution:
continue below for some factual facts.
fact: the Battle of San Jacinto lasted a mere eighteen minutes, in which 630 Mexican soldiers were kills and another 730 captured. only nine Texans died.
fact: in said Battle of San Jacinto, the numbers were 1,400 Mexicans vs. 900 Texans.
fact: Sam Houston was shot in the ankle, but was still able to ride his horse (which he had to change twice because two were killed in the battle).
fact: President Santa Anna was only captured the next day because a Mexican soldier hailed him as “El Presidente” while he was in disguise. he was confirmed to be Santa Anna after said disguise was removed to reveal Santa Anna’s famed silk pajamas. whoops.
fact: though the official dating of the Texas Declaration is March 2nd, it was not signed until the 3rd because some errors were discovered and then fixed. whoops.
fact: 59 men signed the Declaration. 25% of them had only lived in Texas for less than a year.
fact: the original territory of Texas extended westward all the way to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and northward all the way through Colorado and into present-day Wyoming. see? but let’s face it, the state looks much more iconic now.
fact: you can make pretty much any object Texas-shaped. this is because Texas is the most delicious shape of them all.
don’t get me wrong, Texas is not a perfect state. we easily have one of the worst Constitutions in the world with over 470 approved amendments in its history. and we contribute more than our fair share to America’s obesity rate with a whopping 5 cities on the Top 10 Most Obese Cities in the U.S. in that same article, only one Texas city makes it onto the “Leanest” list and that’s our beautiful/weird capital of Austin.
but Texans are passionate about Texas if nothing else. so Happy Birthday, Texas. may you have another 176 years and more ahead of you.

Why the Queen's remains are not interred in the Royal Vault
Queen Elizabeth's coffin came to its final resting place at Windsor on Monday
This completed its long journey from Balmoral Castle to Edinburgh
Thousands of mourners lined the streets to pay their final respects to the Queen
After the service, the Queen's coffin was lowered into the Royal Vault, which serves as the final resting place for many former kings and queens.
Prior to that, King Charles moved forward to drape the late monarch's coffin with the Grenadier Guards' Queen's Company Camp Color.
Then, the Lord Chamberlain broke his Wand of Office and placed it atop the coffin.
She was not, however, interred in the vault. A private funeral service for the royal family was scheduled to take place later on Monday evening.

TACO T-shirt for Woman/Men
Black t-shirt with TACO logo inspired by AC/DC. Round neck. 100% cotton. Hand printed in Mexico. This t-shirt was inspired by the the British band AC/DC as a symbol of its internationalisation and cultural appropriation.
They have about two thousand years of history. The taco is a very popular culinary preparation from Mexico that consists of a tortilla, usually made of corn, that is folded to contain various ingredients and some type of sauce inside.
It is the most representative “antojito” of Mexican cuisine and can be found in any corner of Mexico and in Mexican restaurants all over the world.
Today tacos are spread worldwide as a type of fast food. However the first ones to become international were the American-influenced tacos that differ in ingredients and preparation from the Mexican ones and that were patented by the fast-food chain Taco Bell. These tacos are not Mexican, nor do they look or taste like authentic Mexican tacos.
Tacos can have different ingredients and there are different presentations. There are about 60 types of tacos in Mexico.


You may hear the words “frontier,” “culture,” and “museum” used consecutively in a sentence and die of boredom. That would be a mistake. The Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton, Virginia, is exceptionally well-done and interesting, even to history flunkies. Yes, there are interpreters in period costume. But they don’t fake ridiculous accents or try to win any drama club awards with goofy performances. They’re just there to answer questions and demo how life was lived back in the day. (It wasn’t easy.)
The 300-acre museum tells the story of early immigrants and their American descendants through recreations (and sometimes rebuilds) of rural homes: a 1600s English farm, a 1700s Irish forge, an 1850s American farm, etc. Of special note is the 1700s West African settlement (the kind that slave traders would have raided) and a 1700s Ganatastwi encampment (of the sort Native Americans might’ve occupied—until they were driven out by the European invaders). Pictured up top is a one-room American farm circa the 1740s. It wasn’t glamorous by any means: Few settlers at that time owned furniture; they slept on the floor or on a bedstead built into the wall. But hey, bonus points for doing that whole #PNWlife/Americana/Kinfolk look 300 years before it was cool.
There are a total of 11 exhibits at the FCM, including an early American schoolhouse and an old log church. The museum is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., except in winter; from December 26 through March 12, it’s 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Adult admission is $12.

When you are a member of a disadvantaged group or minority, you may get a month assigned to you for special recognition. March is Women’s History Month.
In previous posts, we’ve highlighted the obstacles which are facing women in leadership and STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) positions. In this post, we honor a few of the women who were STEM pioneers and patent holders for their science and technology inventions.
Amanda Jones: Inventor of the vacuum method of canning and food preservation and an oil burner, which she patented in 1880.
Gertrude Elion: A chemist who, in recognition of her important discoveries and inventions, won a Nobel Prize and was the first woman inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1991.
Hedy Lamarr: Who says you can’t have brains and beauty? Screen actress Hedy Lamarr, co-invented a “Secret Communications System” to prevent classified messages from being intercepted by enemy personnel. Lamarr and composer George Antheil developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes, which used spread spectrum and frequency hopping technology to defeat the threat of jamming by the Axis powers. This work led to their being inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014. This “spread spectrum” technology was the precursor used for cellular telephones, WiFi technology and Bluetooth.
Lise Meitner: Meitner and Otto Frisch understood that the fission process, which splits the atomic nucleus of uranium into two smaller nuclei, must be accompanied by an enormous release of energy. This process is the basis of the nuclear weapons that were developed in the U.S. during World War II and used against Japan in 1945. Meitner spent most of her scientific career in Berlin, Germany where she was a physics professor and a department head at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute. Of Jewish descent, she escaped into Sweden from Nazi Germany and became a Swedish citizen.
Margaret (Mattie) Knight: She invented a stop-motion device to make looms safer for workers. Her many other inventions included a numbering machine, window frame and sash, patented in 1894, and several devices relating to rotary engines, patented between 1902 and 1915. Knight’s original bag-making machine is in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. She was awarded the Decoration of the Royal Legion of Honour by Queen Victoria in 1871.
Marie Curie: A world renown scientist who made glowing discoveries. If anyone knows one STEM inventor or scientist’s name, it is Marie Curie. Marie was the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize for physics. To this day, her papers and even her cookbook are radioactive, and those wishing to view them must wear protective gear.
Martha Coston: Signal flares that saved sailors’ lives. She was granted a patent in 1859 under her husband’s name – standard practice at the time.
Rear Admiral Grace Hopper The first computer whiz, nicknamed “Amazing Grace.” She invented the first compiler for a computer programming language and was one of those who popularized the idea of machine-independent programming languages which led to the development of COBOL, one of the first high-level programming languages.
Stephanie Kwolek: Kwolek was an American chemist, whose career at the DuPont company spanned over forty years and who is best known for inventing the first of a family of synthetic fibers of exceptional strength and stiffness: poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide – better known as Kevlar. In 1995 she became the fourth woman to be added to the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Kevlar is a super strong fiber used to make, among other things, bullet-resistant vests.

Maui Cattle Company History
Islanders used to savor Hawaiian beef from Hawaiian cattle that had grazed unhurriedly on family-owned ranch lands. They knew the ranchers by name. It was all a part of a self-sustaining island lifestyle.
The 20th century brought change. Today, about 75% of island cattle are shipped to the mainland, while islanders consumer imported USA beef. We realized this made no sense and in 2002, Maui Cattle Company was created with the knowledge that the distance between plate and pasture must be shortened, locally-grown food tastes better and locally-grown products are vital to our island economy. Our goal is to keep island livestock in the islands, establish a sustainable ranching industry and deliver premium products locally.
Maui Ranching History
A gift to King Kamehameha by Captain George Vancouver, a few head of longhorn cattle took the islands’ fertile volcanic slopes in 1793. Few knew that the animals would thrive there. By the early 1820s, entire bullock herds roamed Maui, destroying forests, gardens and farms.
Eventually, the herds were corralled into the famed and daring ranching industry that defines Maui to this day. At first, fearless adventurers from overseas drove the animals into improvised ranches, processing them for trade as salted, dried beef.
In 1832, Kamehameha III invited skilled Spanish-Mexican vaqueros to help with capturing and slaughtering. The men, who were expert horseback riders, also set to taming wild horses which had arrived in 1803. The vaqueros taught the Hawaiians how to ride, the use of bridle and lariat, which gave rise to the paniolo, or Hawaiian cowboy, in whose generous heart Hawaiian and Spanish-Mexican traditions blend.
Large ranches developed toward the end of the 19th century never far from homesteads where the paniolo and their families lived. When a Maui paniolo, Ikua Purdy, won the world steer-roping championship at the Cheyenne Frontier Days celebration in Wyoming in 1908, Maui ranching took on a new cache.
Ranching would become Maui’s third largest industry after sugar and pineapples. From 1893 until 1927, close to 1,600 brands were registered, representing operations throughout the island spanning from just a few acres to thousands-of-acres spreads.
During the 1900s, economic challenges threatened the ranching industry on Hawai‘i, including Maui. The islands began importing cheap, fat-marbled meat. A new awareness in the 1990s concerning the vital importance of island agriculture and the quality of island-grazed meats helped the industry survive.
Today, ranching proudly takes its place once again as an integral part of Hawaiian culture and Maui’s agricultural economy, bringing island beef to island families, keeping a legacy alive, and keeping Maui green.


Andros island is located in the Cyclades archipelago in the aegean sea. A destination notorious for its abundance of natural beauty, rich shipping history through time and historical landmarks, Andros makes a perfect destination to visit all year round. Distanced only two hours away from Athens by ferry it is one of the closest islands to the Greek capital.
AREA OF INTEREST
MONASTERY OF PANACHRANTOS
This monastery lies in the northern side of mount Gerakones. It is built with rocks which makes it look like an old fortress. In its sacred walls it houses the miraculous icon of the Holy Virgin Mary and the skull of Saint Panteleimon. The monastery’s history dates back to 960 AD.
CASTLE OF FANEROMENI
This castle represents the island’s biggest medieval city and it was built by the Venetians as protection from the Pirates. The local myth wants it that an old lady centuries ago, in her attempt to escape from some Pirates that were hunting her she jumped off the cliff and that’s where the beach was named after. The name translates to “ The Jump of The Old Lady”.
A monument built in honor of all the sailors that ever lost their life in the sea. Andros is an island of great importance in Greece’s maritime history. The place where now one can see the statue of the Sailor it was once a home that during the second world war it was bombarded by the Germans and the family who owned it gave away to the municipality of Andros. Many years later it was decided to dedicate this area to those “who never made it back home”. The sculpture is a creation of one of Greece’s most famous artists Michael Tompro (1959).
CHURCH OF SAINT IRENE
This church was initially built in 1780 by two monks. In 1833 Othonas, king of Greece at the time, ordered for all churches and monasteries that were solely male or female to be taken down. Approximately a thousand churches and monasteries were taken down and the government took ownership of the locations and all of their riches. In 2006 shipowner Eleftherios Polemis bought all 13 hectare and within ten years him and his family rebuilt the church as we see it today. In the holy premises of the church on can find the miraculous holy painings of Saint Irene and Saint Irene Chrisovalanto.
A magnificent one hour drive from Gavrio to the location of Vori is required for one to see the breathtaking shipwreck of Semiramis. It was built in 1975 and was used to transport 14.600 tons of merchandise, mostly petroleum, agrochemicals and industrial machinery. In July 25th of 1990 the ship caught fire and was abandoned to the location we see today.
BEACHES TO VISIT IN ANDROS
- Agios Petros, Chrissi Ammos and Agios Kyprianos are three beaches quite well know located one next to another on the way from Gavrio to Batsi.
- Batsi Beach is considered to be the village’s main bay.
- Tis Grias to Pidima is Andros’ most famous beach! Right bellow the castle of Faneromeni and surrounded by a 15 meters high rock makes the scenery breath taking.
- Piso Giala, a nice beach between Hora and Stenies. It is very well known as it has many taverns around the area.
- Fellos is a unique large pebble beach located in Gavrio. It’s unique beauty along with its quietness makes it a perfect location for a relaxing swim.
- Paraporti is located on the right of the road on your way to Hora. It has easy access and it is a good place for a quick swim if you’re running on a tight schedule.
An important note to keep in mind : some of Andros’ best beaches are only accessible by 4x4, boat or on foot. Such beaches are the beaches of Achla, Vori, Vitali or Zorkos, located North East of Hora and they are all more than worthy to visit.


I’m a Sang Mêlés, Métis Acadien, a registered Section 35 Aboriginal person. I belong to the Association des Acadien-Métis Souriquois of Nova Scotia. I have Souriquois ancestry. The Métis Acadien or Sang Mêlés are the oldest mixed blood people in Canada being established in the 18th Century. We have persisted as an aboriginal people because our territory is small, a thin band of communities along the western Nova Scotia shore, in reality the size of a large Native reserve.
My clan comes from the territory known to our Souriquois ancestors as Ke’pek. My mother called this place Cha’bake. The word is the same Algon’kin root as Québec, the narrowing of waters. This area is an open arm of the sea first explored by Samuel de Champlain, which narrows to the Tuské (Tusket) river with Pom’kek (Pubnico) on the eastern shore and Tuské Wedge (Wedgeport) on the western side. The area is the traditional territory of the Souriquois, now known as the Mi’kmaw Acadia First Nation.
Three peoples lived on this land, first, the Souriquois, then the confederated French/ Souriquois who became the first Sang Mêlés, then after the expulsion the returned Sang-Mêlés. Our families didn’t begin to marry outside of L’acadie Ke’pek until after the Second World War, so the ancestral bloodlines are still strong and clearly defined. We are the first Métis people. The Métis flag used in Canada depicts a white infinity symbol on a blue background. The image is symbolic of the idea Métis status can never be extinguished. The Sang-Mêlés of L’acadie is where infinity begins.
We diverge from the stereotypical Acadian/Land of Evangeline people’s narrative, because we never left. Unlike the pacifist Acadians who were deported to the British American colonies and beyond during the deportation (1755), my people and our Souriquois cousins escaped from Acadia to Canada, which at that time was just across the boarder at the Tantramar, (New Brunswick.) The Sang Mêlés were a warrior class, we waged armed struggle against Edward Cornwallis at Halifax; we were not passive sheep gathered together in a church and lead onboard ships to exile. The Sang-Mêlés fought when they could, then after the fall of Canada (Ville de Québec) in 1759, gradually returned to their territory around Ke’pek after enduring the prison camps at Halifax.
In 1847 American college professor, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow published his epic fictional poem Evangeline. This literary construction written in English posited the Acadians as a pure blood, French speaking white race. It’s a paradigm that persists to this day. Longfellow’s poem gradually began to be taught in schools and embraced by the racist, colonial Government of Nova Scotia, who enforced this artificial cultural straight jacket on the returned Acadien. In two generations, with insidious help from the Roman Catholic Church the Sang Mêlés Acadien began to picture themselves as a lesser kind of racially pure Québecoise. This absurd racist construction precipitated the final split between the Sang Mêlés and their Mi’kmaw cousins, who were even more stigmatized and reduced to virtually non-human status compared to the Land of Evangeline Acadians. Growing up in Halifax in the 1960’s I was aware French speaking Acadians were a second-class people, socially above the indigenous blacks and Mi’Kmaw only by virtue of their white skin. From this perspective it’s easy to see why the Sang Mêlés assimilated.
Sang Mêlés consciousness is a relatively new thing. Until our enlightened period of Recognition, Restitution and Reconciliation Acadians were content to view themselves as a lesser kind of Québécois, tucked away in their little corners of the Maritimes, the living embodiment of Longfellow’s people of the Expulsion, this attitude was underlined by both the Roman Catholic Church and an evolving Acadian intellectual and cultural elite centered on College Sainte-Anne, a French language Catholic undergraduate school founded in 1890 at Church Point, Nova Scotia. Gradually histories of the Acadians were written, mostly by Acadian scholars in Québec, funded by separatist governments and predictably these historians erased the Sang Mêlés from their white supremacist histories.
Interestingly, the first authoritative history of the Acadien, from which most of my narrative originates, was published by James Hannay, a New Brunswick historian in 1879, less than a century after the Expulsion. In it Hannay frankly states the first Acadien were a mixed race people and details the split between the pacifist Acadians and the activist Sang Mêlés Acadien, Hannay’s history is now smiled on by Acadian scholars as the product of an aggressive, racist Anglophone. Ironically the main criticism of Hannay’s history is his supposed negative depiction of the Souriquois and his conventional (for the 19th century) use of the word savage. I can’t agree with this analysis particularly where Hannay quotes Samuel de Champlain’s history of his visits to Canada and Acadia in the early 17th century. Hannay obviously quotes Champlain extensively and uses the word savage as Champlain did (sauvage) to infer a person or people who live in the wilds. Hannay does later use savage in the conventional construction meaning (vicious), but only in the context of the French and Indian War (1754-63,) where my Souriquois ancestors were indeed vicious and savage and waged a war of extermination on neighbouring tribes aligned with the British. Otherwise Hannay, with a few exceptions is very respectful of the Souriquois and describes them as having a highly ordered society and presents our great ancestor King Membertou as a thoughtful statesman.
The secret of our mixed blood was so profoundly hidden that I had no idea I and we had native heritage until I was in my thirties, then the dam broke with the publication of Roland Surrete’s Métis/Acadian Heritage 1604-2004 and the formation of the Association des Acadien-Métis Souriquois. More recently, Sébastien Malette, et all’s, An Ethnographic Report on the Acadian-Métis (Sang-Mêlés) People of Southwest Nova Scotia, has created a bedrock for the Sang Mêlés Acadien to reclaim an almost vanished nation.
I often wonder what my grandpére and grandmére would think of the deconstruction of their Land of Evangeline paradigm. I empathize with my Acadian ancestors, who transformed from Sang Mêlés into pure blood Acadians and lived comfortably on their small farms, fishing in the summer, raising their families and attending their churches. In a way they fulfilled the ambition of the first settlers, while ironically their pacifist pure blood Acadian cousins were scattered to the wind. The time has come for the Sang-Mêlés of Ke’pek and L’acadie to reject the racism that keeps us separated from our Native cousins and challenge the self serving lies that pass for history among the Acadians so a rising generation will know who they are and where they come from.


The aim of architect Petr Všetečka’s restoration project, which lasted from 2016 to 2019, was to return the building to its original form. The original floors, the plasterwork on the columns and the refurbished lighting, along with the original steel, concrete and glass were all preserved. However, some of the glass panes were original while others were new, blemishing the overall appearance of the building. Unifying the appearance of the glass was imperative.
The architect in charge of the restoration insisted on using patterned cathedral glass totally identical to the original, including the imperfections and defects inherent in the original production process. AGC’s Imagin Kathedral Klein glass was chosen at first since it was the most similar to the original glass.
AGC’s Barevka plant in Dubí, Czech Republic, is the company’s only European facility that produces patterned glass. The production process involves using a special cylinder bearing a pattern or texture that is pressed into one or both sides of the molten glass ribbon. A cylinder featuring a new design was ordered in June 2017 and delivered to the plant in October of that year. Production of patterned cathedral glass under the product name Imagin Misty – a unique custom design – began on 30 October.
The pattern was created by imprinting the original ornamental glass pattern taken from the glass preserved in the original facade of the Memorial. A total of 1660 m2 of glass was produced in sheets measuring 320 cm x 185 cm (thickness: 5 mm). The glass was installed on the Memorial’s facade in September and October 2018.

The main content will be video, but there will also be photographs, scripts, press pieces, production material and some fresh reflections on the projects.
I wanted to start with three films developed in East London, particularly with Fighters, a documentary on local boxing made in 1991. I make it my jumping off point, a place from where I can more clearly look forward and also look back.
Looking back will later mean returning to the seventies and thinking again about Four Corners, the small independent production company four of us set up in Bethnal Green after leaving film school, a very rich and formative period for me. Our earliest films were small, carefully made pieces about people and places so easily passed by: a railway worker and an allotment site in Newham.
Later I made two fiction films, Nighthawks and Empire State, which were altogether on another scale, involving hundreds of people, studios, film stars and sometimes helicopters and stunt men.
These were some of the features of my landscape before Fighters.
But why start with Fighters? This site is being launched the same week that we celebrate the 25th anniversary of its first showing and a lot of the material being made available on the site is a rich archive of video shot for the film but never used in it or shown before. Some 6 or 7 hours is included on this site. There are about 150 hours of video in all, extraordinary stuff I think, including some strong and illuminating interviews, and I hope we can include a great deal more of it as the site grows.
Fighters was followed by Real Money and Cross-Channel, all three films featuring boxers and ex-boxers in the leading roles. New DVD editions of the first two are being launched on this anniversary and all three can be ordered as DVDs or streamed to view on this site. More films will follow.
All these titles were shot when I co-ran Team Pictures with producer and collaborator Mark Ayres. From Team’s studio, based in Mile End, we not only worked on documentary subjects but also ran acting workshops with non-professionals to generate dynamic dramatic fiction set locally. Much of this material will also appear on this site very soon.
Team didn’t only work on East London subjects and its own history and work will be recorded in additional pieces to come.
I hope the content of the site overall will encourage users to follow a number of journeys and explorations made earlier by this filmmaker and his collaborators, often to some strange and remote places and sometimes to meet some remarkable people. I want it to be both a kind of cinema and a gallery, a place where you can just wander around and try things out.
The archive dimension of the site will be free-to-access. Users are asked to register so that we can get a measure of people’s interest and pass back information about new items appearing on the site. Completed films will be available here on a Pay-Per-View basis. If the site succeeds in fulfilling its ambitions, there will be a lot of material here eventually, a lifetime’s worth to get lost in, but the ‘Search’ facility will enable users to find and follow particular people and places if they want.
I don’t know if this jigsaw will ever be complete – I can’t quite imagine a last piece added that suddenly means it all make sense – but I hope you’ll find interesting things here, and that you’ll be excited, amused, reflective, shocked, but above all engaged. This is my new online home. Welcome.


Pair of red blanket boxes
Unusual to see a pair of blanket boxes, but more unusual to see a pair in which one is a miniature of the other. Obviously from the same maker with matching beaded lid and foot moldings. Dark red wash covers both although the smaller box has more wear on it's lid. Both bare the remains of original leather hinges which were later replaced with iron (late 19th or early 20th century). The bodies of the boxes are rabbeted and the nails (all square) are used dually as decoration.


The U.S. Bankruptcy Code is a complex set of laws that govern the process of bankruptcy in the United States. But where did this code come from? Let's take a journey through time to explore the history of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and how it came to be.
It all started in 1800 when the United States Congress passed the first federal bankruptcy law, which was modeled after the English bankruptcy law. The law was designed to provide relief to struggling merchants who were burdened with debt. However, this law was repealed just three years later due to political opposition and concerns over the broad discretion given to bankruptcy judges.
In 1841, Congress passed the first modern bankruptcy law, which allowed individuals to file for bankruptcy and discharge their debts. The law was intended to help small business owners and farmers who were facing financial difficulties due to economic downturns. However, the law was repealed just two years later due to concerns over fraud and abuse.
It wasn't until the Great Depression that Congress revisited the idea of bankruptcy reform. In 1933, Congress passed the first permanent bankruptcy law, known as the Chandler Act. The Chandler Act created a comprehensive system for bankruptcy, including both liquidation and reorganization options. This law was a significant departure from previous laws, as it focused on rehabilitating debtors rather than punishing them.
Over the years, the U.S. Bankruptcy Code has undergone several revisions and updates to keep up with the changing times. One of the most significant revisions occurred in 1978, when Congress passed the Bankruptcy Reform Act. This act made significant changes to the bankruptcy process, including the creation of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court system and the addition of Chapter 11, which allows businesses to reorganize their debts and continue operating.
In 2005, Congress passed the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA), which made several changes to the bankruptcy process. The act was designed to prevent abuse of the bankruptcy system and to make it more difficult for individuals to file for bankruptcy.
Today, the U.S. Bankruptcy Code is a complex set of laws that is constantly evolving. Bankruptcy is a complex and nuanced legal process that requires the expertise of a qualified bankruptcy attorney to navigate effectively. While the process may be difficult, the bankruptcy code provides a much-needed safety net for those who are struggling with overwhelming debt.
The history of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code is a long and winding one, filled with ups and downs, successes and failures. But one thing is certain - the bankruptcy code has provided a valuable lifeline to millions of Americans over the years, and it will continue to do so for years to come.


A Piankeshaw village, obscure to most historians and scholars may be a major player in the history of the Wabash tributary, the White River. Some evidence from historic military records and Indian Claims Commission Reports definitely links a Piankeshaw Village to a White River, Indiana location. The earliest historical accounts include a reference to Fairplay Township that state very clearly, “On the site of the old town of Fairplay, a flourishing Piankeshaw Village had stood in former years before the white man came…” “Scattered over the ground there, especially in early years were the implements of warfare and of domestic usefulnees…and were tracts of land from which the brush and sod had been cleared, and upon which the former inhabitants had grown their crops of corn, and perhaps vegetables The village had contained several hundred wigwams, judging from the extent of open ground where it stood and the statements of the earliest white settlers… The Indians often came to the cabins of the first white settlers for ammunition, whiskey or food and brought with them to barter–furs, wild meat and curious trinkets of their own manufacture.”
A British fort was promised by the representatives of the Crown to the Piankeshaw led villages if they relocated to the White River. The Piankeshaw, Wea, Illini and Miami who had been living in the Wabash valley for decades became easy prey for British envoys who only wanted to entice them to their side with empty promises in order to gain a military and political advantage over the French at Vincennes. The British suggested they might even build ‘forts” further into the White River Valley. Le Enfant, a Piankeshaw leader was the only known active anti-French “rebel” in the region. He was convinced that the British would keep their promises and stirred other Native indian groups to join with the British. Piankeshaw and many Miami broke with their French alliance and began to exert random attacks on the French. They established a village or villlages along the White River in what is now Fairplaly Township. According to the Indian Claims commission reports, these villages held as many as 600 inhabitants between 1751-1753 as they awaited the full support of the British.
The British never fulfilled their promises and by the end of 1752 after the destruction of the English trading houses at Pickawillany on the Great Miami River in Ohio and the withdrawal of the English from the area, “the rebel Piankeshaw led by Le Gros Bled sent a collar of wampum to the Wea asking them to intercede with de Ligneris for them and most of the White River Village Indians returned to the western edge of Indiana and the Wabash corridor.
An Anthropological Report on the Piankashaw Indians, Dockett 99 (a part of Consolidated Docket No. 315; Dr. Dorothy Libby) Summary of Piankashaw Locations (1708- ca. 1763)(pages 58 – 62)
“Piankashaws may have been located on the Wabash River as early as 1708, and were certainly living in a village in the vicinity of Ouiatenon, near the location of the present-day city of Lafayette, Indiana, by 1718. An effort was made by the French to attract the Piankashaws to settle on the Kankakee River in 1720 and 1721, but only a few of them moved there and these stayed only a short time.
By 1726, the Piankashaws had moved some distance downstream from Ouiatenon and were established in a village near the mouth of Vermilion River, a western tributary to the Wabash River. This village was called “Mercata or Piankashaw” and it was estimated that at least 150 men, representing approximately 600 persons resided there. By 1730 a French officer, Vincennes, moved to the lower Wabash, taking with him some Vermilion River Piankashaws, who settled near the post he established in the vicinity of the present-day town of Vincennes, Indiana in the First Street neighborhood. At the same time, a larger number of Piankashaws remained in their village on the Vermilion River.
Despite a smallpox epidemic which killed a number of them some Piankashaws took part in French-inspired attacks on Chickasaw Indians in 1732 and 1733. In 1734, the Piankashaws of Vincennes’ Post were reported to have invited those of the Vermilion River village to settle with them, an invitation which was not accepted. Vincennes’ Piankashaws /pg. 59/continued their intermittent raids on the Chickasaws, but after his death in 1736 while taking part in one of these attacks, the number living at the post diminished for a while. The Piankashaws remaining at Vincennes were described as having decreased to 15 or 25 men (representing a population of ca. 60-100 persons) in June of 1737; other Piankashaws returned to the older village at Vermilion River.
Piankashaw Indians are specifically referred to as being located at Vermilion River between 1743 and 1747. That some also continued to live in the Vincennes area during the 1740’s is indicated by the fact that in 1749 Piankashaws were reported to have left Vincennes completely. This was probably due in part to British efforts to win the trade of the Wabash Indians and also in reaction to various attacks on them by other Indians. During the winter of 1749-1750 some Piankashaws traded with the English at Pickawillany on the Great Miami River and this group of Piankashaw Indians may have wintered in that area. A number of Piankashaws including several of the Vermilion Piankashaw chiefs joined the pro-English Indians. During the winter of 1749-1750 an epidemic again killed a number of Piankashaws, and they burned their village (probably the Vermilion River one) to drive away the bad medicine which they thought the French had sent them. All during 1750 rumors and reports of Piankashaw activities and collaboration with the English were circulating among the French on the Wabash and in the Illinois country. And, in fact, some Piankashaws did meet with George Croghan and sign a treaty of friendship with the British in November of 1750.
By 1751, forty Piankashaws were reported to be at Vincennes, but whether this was a visiting group or members of a permanent village there is not clear. It is clear that at least a few Piankashaws were living in the Vincennes area again. In this year also, at least one Piankashaw chief of the Vermilion River village was reported to have rejected English overtures of friendship. By October of 1751 the Vermilion Piankashaws appeared to be won over by the English, though they still lived at Vermilion River. By February of 1752 many of the Piankashaws around Vincennes joined the Vermilion Piankashaws, who were said to have moved, at least temporarily, to the plains between the Wabash and Illinois rivers. A rumor was reported that they, together with some Illinois and Osage Indians, were going to build a fort in the central Illinois area where the Fox Indians had been attacked by the French twenty years earlier.
It seems evident, however, that by February of 1752 many of the Piankashaws were established on White River in central Indiana about 2 days journey from Ouiatenon and from Vincennes, in a settlement inspired by English Traders, together with some Weas, Miamis, and Delawares. The Piankashaws at this White River location were reported to number 140 men, representing ca. 560 persons. By the end of 1752, after the destruction of the English inspired settlement of Pickawillany on the Great Miami River and the withdrawal of the English from the area, the rebel Piankashaws made peaceful overtures to the French commandants at Ouiatenon and at Vincennes. By the fall of 1753, the French had pardoned the Piankashaws who by this time had gone to Ouiatenon. (Goodspeed’s History of Greene and Sullivan Counties, Indiana 1884 supports this as well)
/pg. 61/ Soon after this, the errant Piankashaws probably returned to their former locations on the Vermilion River and the vicinity of Vincennes. It is possible also that a number of Piankashaws remained in the vicinity of Ouiatenon. In 1762 one hundred Piankashaw warriors (representing a population of ca. 400 persons) were reported as being at Ouiatenon. In a council held by the British at Ouiatenon in that year a Mascouten spoke for both the Mascoutens and the Piankashaws. In Hutchins’ description written in the same year, however) what probably are the same one hundred warriors were described as being dependent on Ouiatenon, rather than as located at Ouiatenon, which raises a question as to their actual location. The Indians living on the Vermilion River were dependent on Ouiatenon for trade, and it seems probable that references to Indians dependent on Ouiatenon include them. Thus the one hundred Piankashaw warriors could have lived at either location at this time.
All during the French period of sovereignty in the west, bands of Piankashaw Indians were mentioned, along with other Indian groups, by the commandants of the Illinois country as visiting them and various Illinois Indian groups. These visits involved trips for supplies, or occurred during raids on southern Indians, visits to relatives (by intermarriage), and hunting expeditions.”
One other additional source puts the Piankeshaw village on the White River. The source is Commandant, Vaudreul to Rouille, September, 1752 from the Collections fo the Illinois State Historical Library, vol 29.
“The Piankeshaw up to now have taken various step to get back their prisoners but this commandant has not judged it proper to give them back as they have given but small marks of their repentance and fearing our resentment, have retired for the greater part on White River, where the English today established with a certain number of rebels from Great Miami River. I have ordered M.de Macarty to extirpate this settlement, opposing force to force if there is need of coming to that extremity in order to forestall in that place the results from a larger settlement on account of the nearness of Vincennes, which is only about fifteeen leagues from that river. As to the location of their tribe, the young men told Le Chat they were two short days’ journey from the post of M de Ligneris; they said that the majority of their people wished to come to an understanding with the French. The others would not hear of it. They had suffered much for want of food. Some English brought them goods, but very little. The English had led them to hope that they would furnish them abundantly and that in Le Petit Pat Cott, chief of the seven cabins of Illini, which left the hunt this summer to go to the rebels, gave back to St. Ange, the belt he had received, with protestations of attachment to the French which at best are dubious. “
The historical documents are clear; the evidence from reports states that there was a Piankeshaw led village with British ties in the valley of the White River located two days from Vincennes and Ouiatenon. However, with that said, what is lacking is hard archaeological evidence. Back in the 1970’s, Indiana Archaeologist, Curtis Tomak did a site survey and concluded that there was not much evidence to support the theory of a village at that location. To be fair about this, there was a town called, Fairplay that was built on the alleged former site of the village. Today, as was over 30 years ago, the area also shows little if any visible sign above ground that there ever was a town laid out on this same ground. The village site or sites were definitely disturbed by the digging of cellars and building of houses, shops and businesses. However, it is now 30 years later and new technologies and techniques have been developed and there may be a need to do another, more intense search of the site before any conclusive opinion is formed about the elusive Piankeshaw Village Site in Fairplay Township.


This weekend marked the 20th anniversary of the graduation of Athens High School class of 1997! The best thing about the event was that Jason came to Athens for it! He stayed with my parents. They made us breakfast!! Just like old times!
Saturday morning, Mark Chapman guided us through a tour of Athens High School! It was neat to see what had changed... This foyer was completely new! None of this was there when we went to AHS. I think it looks awesome!

Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States On Jan. 20, 2017
During his inauguration, thousands took to the streets in Washington, DC to voice their opposition to the new president. The day of Trump’s inauguration saw violent protests break out in the city, with hundreds being arrested, windows being broken and cars being burnt. The next day saw a different kind of protests where hundreds of thousands of men and women from around the country participated in the Women’s March on Washington which resulted in zero arrests.
I was in the nation’s capital for those first two contrasting days of the Trump Presidency.
