Hutterite Colonies in Montana Map Hutterite colonies in montana map Continue Three groups of Hutterites are located exclusively in the breadbasket or prairies of North America. Hutterites have subsisted almost entirely on agriculture since migrating to North America in 1874 which helps explain their geographical locations. All of Schmideleut's colonies are located in central North America, mainly in Manitoba and South Dakota. There are several colonies in North Dakota and Minnesota. Darius and Lehrer-leut are located in western North America, mainly in Saskatchewan, Alberta and Montana with spraying colonies in British Columbia, Washington and Oregon. Most colonies are located in Alberta (168), followed by Manitoba (107), Saskatchewan (60) and South Dakota (54).

The founder of the Hutterites, Jacob Hatter, created a Hutterite colony based on the Schleitheim confession, a classic adaptist statement of faith in 1527, the first communes were formed in 1528. After Hatter's death in 1536, the beliefs of the Hatterites, especially those living in the community of goods and insatiability, led to hundreds of years of diasporaism in many countries. They began a series of migrations through Central and Eastern Europe. Almost extinct by the 18th century, the Hutterites migrated to Russia in 1770 and about a hundred years later to North America. Within 140 years, their population, living in a community of goods, has now recovered from about 400 to about 50,000. Today, almost all Hutterites live in Western Canada and the upper Great Plains of the United States. History Spread of early anabaptists, 1525-1550 Impeachment Bill Beginning Home article: Anabaptism Anabaptist movement, from which hutterites came out, began in groups that formed after the early Reformation in Switzerland led by Huldrych Tswingli (1484-1531). These new groups were part of the Radical Reformation, which moved away from the teachings of the Church of Switzerland and the Swiss Reformation Church. On January 21, 1525, Konrad Grebel (c. 1498-1526) and Jorge Blarock (c. 1491-1529) practiced the baptism of adults to each other and then to others. From Switzerland, Anabaptism quickly spread to the north and east, at times in just one year. Baltasar Hubmayer (about 1480-1528), a Bavarian from Friedberg, became an anebaptist in the city of zurich in 1525, but fled to Nikolsburg in Moravia in May 1526. Other early Anabaptists who became important to the new Hutterites, were Hans Denk (c. 1500-1527), Hans Huth (1490-1527), Hans Schlaffer († 1528), Leonhard Schimer (about 1500-1528), Ambrosius Spittelmayr (1497-1528) and Jacob Widemann († 1536). Most of these early anabapitists soon became martyrs of their faith. Tyrol Anabaptism seems to have come to Tyrol through the writings of Jarg Blaurock. Like the German peasant war, the Gasmair uprising created the foundation, creating hope for social justice. Michael Gasmeer tried to carry out religious, political and economic reforms through a violent peasant uprising, but the movement was suppressed. Although there is little hard evidence of a direct link between the Gasmeer uprising and Tyrolean anabaptism, at least some of the peasants involved in the uprising later became anabptists. While the link between violent social revolution and unsustainable anabaptism is hard to imagine, the common link was the desire for radical change in prevailing social injustice. Frustrated by the failure of the armed uprising, anbaptist ideals peaceful, simple society probably resonated on the ears of disillusioned peasants. Before Athabapism was introduced in southern Tyrol, Protestant ideas were spread in the region by people such as Hans Visher, a former Dominican. Some of those who participated in the monasteries where Protestant ideas were later presented became Anabaptists. In addition, the population as a whole seemed to have a favorable attitude to reform, whether Protestant or anabaptist. George Blaurock seems to have preached errant in the Puster Valley region in 1527, which was most likely the first introduction of anabaptist ideas in the area. Another visit through the area in 1529 reinforced these ideas, but it was captured and burned at the stake in Clausen on September 6, 1529. Jacob Hatter was one of the first converts in Southern Tyrol and later became a leader among the Hutterites who got their name from him. Hatter made several trips between Moravia and Tyrol, and most of the Anabapists in southern Tyrol emigrated to Moravia because of the brutal persecution unleashed by Ferdinand I. In November 1535, Hatter was captured near Clausen and taken to Innsbruck, where he was burned at the stake on 25 February 1536. By 1540, athabapism in southern Tyrol had begun to die out, mainly due to the emigration to Moravia of converts due to continued persecution. Moravia and Hungary In the 16th century in Moravia there was a significant degree of religious tolerance, because in the 15th century there were several proto-Protestant movements and upheavals (Czech Brothers, Utraquists, Picards, Small Unity) in the Czech Republic and Moravia because of the teachings of Jan Gus (c. 1369-1415). Thus, Moravia, where Hubmeyer also took refuge, was the land where the persecuted forerunners of the Hatterites fled, originating mainly from different places today in southern Germany, Austria and southern Tyrol. Under the leadership of Jacob Hatter in 1530-1535, they developed a communal life form that distinguishes them from other Athabapists such as Mennonites and Amish. The community life of the Hutterites is based on the New Testament books on the Acts of the Apostles (Chapter 2 (especially verse 44), 4 and 5) and 2 Corinthians. The basic principle of Hutterite groups has always been the failure to prohibit its members from taking part in military activities, taking orders from military personnel, wearing formal uniforms (e.g. a soldier or a policeman) or paying taxes to be spent on war. This led to the expulsion or persecution of several lands in which they lived. In Moravia, the Hutterites prospered for several decades; period between 1554 and 1565 was called good and the period between 1565 and 1592 was called golden. During this time, the Hutterites upper Hungary, present-day Slovakia. At that time until 1622 about 100 settlements, called Bruderhof, were developed in Moravia and the Kingdom of Hungary, and the number of hutterites reached twenty to thirty thousand. In 1593, the Long Turkish War began, which greatly influenced the Hutterites and lasted until 1606. During this war, in 1605, some 240 Hutterites were kidnapped by the Ottoman Turkish army and their Tatar allies and sold into Ottoman slavery. Before the Hatterites were able to recover their resources, the Thirty-Year War (1618-1648) broke out and soon turned into a war of religion, when in 1620 the Protestant Czech Republic and Moravia were captured by the Habsburg Emperor Ferdinand II, a Catholic who destroyed and looted several Hutterite settlements. In 1621, the bubonic plague followed the war and killed a third of the remaining Hutterites. The resumption of persecution followed the Habsburgs' seizure of Czech lands in 1620 and eventually destroyed them there as an Anabapisite group. In 1622, the Hutterites were driven out of Moravia and fled to the Hutterite settlements in Hungary, which became completely overcrowded, causing serious difficulties. Some Moravian Hutterites converted to Catholicism and retained a separate ethnic identity as Habans (German: Habaner) until the 19th century (by the end of World War II, the Haban group had essentially become extinct). In 1621, Gabrielt Bethlen, Prince of Transylvania and a Calvinist, invited the Hutterites to come to their country. In fact he forced a group of 186 Hutterites to come to Alvinz (today Vințu de Jose, Romania) in 1622 because he needed artisans and agricultural workers to develop his land. Over the next two years, a total of 690 or 1,089 people migrated to Transylvania, according to sources.

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • Indian Commons, Privatization, Deprivatization, and Hutterites
    Economic Evolution on the Northern Plains of the United States: Indian Commons, Privatization, Deprivatization, and Hutterites By John Baden and Jennifer Mygatt Foundation for Research on Economics and the Environment (FREE) June 2006 Introduction In Garrett Hardin’s 1968 “Tragedy of the Commons,” published in Science, Hardin argued that unmanaged commons lead to “ruin.” “Ruin is the destination toward which all men rush, each pursuing his own best interest in a society that believes in the freedom of the commons. Freedom in a commons brings ruin to all.”1 Alternatives to an open- access commons include privatization, government-managed incentives (such as taxes and subsidies), and government land ownership through U.S. agencies such as the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, United States Forest Service, and the National Park Service. Political economists and economists almost always favor privatization.2 Over the last century and a half in the Great Plains of the United States, a combination of privatization and multi-veined government subsidy has resoundingly failed to produce a thriving society. And it is only getting worse. Here, we outline the history of European settlement on the Great Plains, from the 19th century to the present. We will focus on the history of the Plains as a commons, as well as environmental and social factors precluding successful European settlement there. We will address the demographic changes of the last two hundred years, and will finish with a successful case study illustrating the human ecology of niche filling. Locating the Great Plains The Great Plains lie west of the central lowlands and east of the Rocky Mountains.

    Appendix B bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb List of World Languages Languages are constantly changing. As they grow and evolve, they can branch off or con- verge. Many languages are known by more than one name, or have alternate spellings. Some languages may be affected by political change. Even linguists differ in their defini- tions of language. While it is impossible to ascertain exactly how many languages exist on Earth, The Ethnologue, 14th Ed., lists 6,809 living languages worldwide. The following list was adapted from The World Factbook 2002, The Ethnologue, 14th Ed., and the Directory of Languages Spoken by Students of Limited English Proficiency in New York State Programs.

In the short his­ torical section, for example, the Hutterites are described as "Christian perfectionists," which is somewhat confusing since the word "perfection­ ism" usually implies Christian theological under­ standings not associated with the Hutterites.

  • Hutterite Colonies and the Cultural Landscape: an Inventory of Selected Site Characteristics
    Hutterite Colonies and the Cultural Landscape: An Inventory of Selected Site Characteristics Simon M. Evans1 Adjunct Professor Department of Geography University of Calgary Peter Peller Head, Spatial and Numeric Data Services Libraries and Cultural Resources University of Calgary Abstract Hutterite colonies are a growing and sustainable element in the cultural landscape of the Canadian Prairies and Northern Great Plains of the United States. Their increasing numbers do something to offset the disappearance of the smallest service centers on the plains. While the diffusion of these communities has been well documented, the morphology of the settlements has been less well studied. New technology makes it possible to remotely evaluate selected characteristics of almost all Hutterite colonies. This paper describes the differences, with respect to orientation, layout and housing types, both between the four clan groups and within the Dariusleut and Schmiedeleut. Here as in many other aspects of Hutterite culture, there are signs of change and increasing diversity. Keywords Hutterite colonies; Cultural landscape; Google Earth; Orientation; Layout; Housing types; Dariusleut; Lehrerleut; Schmiedeleut; Great Plains Evans, Simon, and Peter Peller. 2016. “Hutterite Colonies and the Cultural Landscape: An Inventory of Selected Site Characteristics.” Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies 4(1):51-81. 52 Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies 4(1) Introduction Flying low from Calgary to Lethbridge, Alberta, and on to Great Falls, Montana, it is easy to pick out Hutterite colonies. Their relatively large and complex footprint is in marked contrast to that of neighbouring family farms. Colonies even show up clearly when viewed from the cruising altitude of a jet airliner.
