Book Description
Just north of Detroit in a 1960’s neighborhood, a group of kids, Ted, Natalie, Mitch, Greg, and Jim make a promise never to reveal how they write their secret messages. As they grow up, they remain friends throughout their lives. They stand up for each other’s weddings and attend the birthday parties of each other’s children. However, on the fiftieth anniversary of having met on Matthew Street, their childhood promise, results in them being recruited by the CIA for a deadly mission which will test their friendships to the breaking point. The CIA has discovered that the pope is missing and has been replaced by an extraterrestrial imposter. However, that is top secret information and only those on a “need to know” basis are privy to it. The U.S. Government cannot be involved, so they enlist a third party to be the face of their operation. The Matthew Street Gang is charged with the task to eliminate the imposter and close the portal above First Nation Ridge in Arizona. But when several people go missing and everything points to the Vatican observatory, three Apache scouts get involved, and the life-long friends must finally recognize the true identity of their enemies or die!

Book Description
Sedona: City of the Star People reveals the esoteric history of Sedona, Arizona, which author Pinkham says was known in very ancient times as Palatkwapi, the "Red House." According to Hopi legend, Extraterrestrial Star People built Palatkwapi as a glorious city of sacred wisdom. It was here that the migrating Hopis learned their sacred rites and dances, as well as many mysteries of the universe. Since 1987, author Mark Amaru Pinkham has been blessed with the ability to envision Palatkwapi as it exists now-an interdimensional city that co-exists with the physical town of Sedona. Many of Palatkwapi's temples continue to exist physically within Sedona in a water-worn condition, and on higher dimensions they survive in their original perfection. In Sedona: City of the Star People Mark recounts his first experiences with the temples of Palatkwapi in Boynton Canyon, the largest of the four major vortexes of Sedona, and then he shares his experiences during the following 27 years as he continuously returns to study their design and function. The book culminates in Mark's discovery of a royal court composed of red rock temples that he now identifies as the ancient seat of the Hopis' King of the World, the Star Being known as Masau'u. Through his direct study with the Yezidi priests of Iraq, Mark has further discovered that Masau'u is another name for the Yezidis' King of the World, Tawsi Melek, the Peacock Angel, and that the planetary monarch is due to soon make his presence known among the masses. Could it be in Sedona?

Book Description

Despite these setbacks, he maintained the broadly appealing sense of humor that made him the first American star. From his Mississippi boyhood, through the Civil War, his years of fame following the publication of Huckleberry Finn, and his business reversals and family tragedies, Mark Twain's story is a fascinating trip through a changing United States.

Book Description
The interest of nineteenth-century Lakotas in the Sun, the Moon, and the stars was an essential part of their never-ending quest to understand their world. The Spirit and the Sky presents a survey of the ethnoastronomy of the nineteenth-century Lakotas and relates Lakota astronomy to their cultural practices and beliefs. The center of Lakota belief is the incomprehensible, extraordinary, and sacred nature of the world in which they live. The earth beneath and the stars above constitute their holistic world. Mark Hollabaugh offers a detailed analysis of aspects of Lakota culture that have a bearing on Lakota astronomy, including telling time, their names for the stars and constellations as they appeared from the Great Plains, and the phenomena of meteor showers, eclipses, and the aurora borealis. Hollabaugh’s explanation of the cause of the aurora that occurred at the death of Black Elk in 1950 is a new contribution to ethnoastronomy.

Book Description
"This monograph, the result of years of study and discussion with tribal elders, is an important addition to our knowledge of Native American sky-related traditions. It demonstrates that knowledge of star and sun watching practices is very much alive in some tribal contexts, despite centuries of acculturation and attempts by the dominant society to root out such 'pagan' sacred observances. It also provides important lessons for other tribal groups who wish to retain more of their traditional practices for their descendants" (p. iii).

Book Description
During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, North American Indian leaders commonly signed treaties with the European powers and the American and Canadian governments with an X, signifying their presence and assent to the terms. These x-marks indicated coercion (because the treaties were made under unfair conditions), resistance (because they were often met with protest), and acquiescence (to both a European modernity and the end of a particular moment of Indian history and identity).In X-Marks, Scott Richard Lyons explores the complexity of contemporary Indian identity and current debates among Indians about traditionalism, nationalism, and tribalism. Employing the x-mark as a metaphor for what he calls the “Indian assent to the new,” Lyons offers a valuable alternative to both imperialist concepts of assimilation and nativist notions of resistance, calling into question the binary oppositions produced during the age of imperialism and maintaining that indigeneity is something that people do, not what they are. Drawing on his personal experiences and family history on the Leech Lake Ojibwe Reservation in northern Minnesota, discourses embedded in Ojibwemowin (the Ojibwe language), and disagreements about Indian identity within Native American studies, Lyons contends that Indians should be able to choose nontraditional ways of living, thinking, and being without fear of being condemned as inauthentic.Arguing for a greater recognition of the diversity of Native America, X-Marks analyzes ongoing controversies about Indian identity, addresses the issue of culture and its use and misuse by essentialists, and considers the implications of the idea of an Indian nation. At once intellectually rigorous and deeply personal, X-Marks holds that indigenous peoples can operate in modern times while simultaneously honoring and defending their communities, practices, and values.
