Transcript by Rev.Com Had Seating for 100 People, and Would Have Been the Emergency Senate Chamber
Joanne Freeman: Major funding for Back Story is provided by an anonymous donor, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the University of Virginia, and the Robert and Joseph Cornel Memorial Foundation. Ed Ayers: From Virginia Humanities, this is Back Story. Brian Balogh: Welcome to Back Story, the show that explains the history behind today's headlines. I'm Brian Balogh. Ed Ayers: I'm Ed Ayers. Joanne Freeman: I'm Joanne Freeman. Ed Ayers: If you're new to the podcast, we're all historians. Each week, we explore the history of one topic that's been in the news. Joanne Freeman: Now, picture a luxury hotel. Attentive staff buzz around serving drinks to thirsty golfers who've just come in after playing 18 holes; but behind a false wall, there's a blast door intended to keep out radiation from a nuclear bomb. Nobody who works here knows, but this is where the American president, senators, and congressmen will hide out if America comes under attack by nuclear weapons. Sounds like a James Bond movie, right? Joanne Freeman: We're going to start off today by going underground to a secret facility standing by not far from here. Garrett Graff: ... I ever went to was the Greenbrier bunker, which would have been the congressional bunker and relocation facility during the course of the Cold War. Brian Balogh: This is the writer and historian, Garrett Graff. Garrett Graff: It was this bunker hidden under this very fine golf resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. The resort is still used as a annual congressional retreat. -
An ESSAY on the PRINCIPLES of CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE, Illustrated by Numerous Cases

TAYLOR, RED Lion court, FLEET STREET. PR E FA C E TO THE FIRST EDITION. THE most important doctrines of Circumstantial Evidence have been so ably treated in the learned works of Mr. Bentham and Mr. Starkie, that an apology may be thought necessary for this publication. It will however be per ceived, that the design of the following Essay is different in some important particulars from that of either of the above-mentioned authors; and that an attempt has been made to illustrate the subject by the application of many instructive cases, some of which have been compiled from original documents, and others from publications not easily accessible. It has not always been practicable to support the state ment of cases by reference to books of recognised authority, or of an equal degree of credit; but discrimination has uniformly been exercised in the adoption of such state ments; and they have generally been verified by compa rison with contemporaneous and independent accounts. -

Tsimshian Wil'naat'ał and Society
Tsimshian Wil’naat’ał and Society: Historicising Tsimshian Social Organization James A. McDonald Introduction ot far from Gitxaała are the people who live inside the mists of the Skeena River. Connected to Gitxaała by the familial ties of kinship and chiefly designs, theN eleven Aboriginal communities of the lower Skeena River also are part of the Tsimshian Nation. The prevailing understanding of Tsimshian social organization has long been clouded in a fog of colonialism. The resulting interpretation of the indigenous prop- erty relations marches along with the new colonial order but is out of step with values expressed in the teachings of the wilgagoosk – the wise ones who archived their knowledge in the historical narratives called adaawx and other oral sources. This chapter reviews traditional and contemporary Tsimshian social structures to argue that the land owning House (Waap1) and Clan (Wil’naat’ał) have been demoted in importance in favour of the residential and political communities of the tribe (galts’ap). Central to my argument is a critical analysis of the social importance of the contemporary Indian Reserve villages that is the basis of much political, cultural, and economic activity today. The perceived centrality of these settlements and their associated tribes in Tsimshian social structure has become a historical canon accepted by missionaries, politicians, civil servants, historians, geographers, archaeologists, and many “armchair” anthropologists. This assumption is a convention that loosens the Aboriginal ties to the land and resources and is attractive for the colonial society. It is a belief that has been normalized within the colonized worldview as the basis for relationships in civil society. -

Copyright by the Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. 2018 Sm’algya̱ x Excerpts Edition by The Haayk Foundation Cover photo: Tsimshian Mask from the Museum of Northern British Columbia, Collected in Metlakatla, BC Introduction Tsimshian Stories, as recorded by William Beynon and presented on the following pages represents a major effort by the Metlakatla Indian Community, Council Annette Islands Reserve, to preserve and make available significant recorded aspects of Tsimshian culture. These stories on Tsimshian History, Legend, Mythology were documented by William Beynon and have for years been a part of the archives of the Columbia University Library of Rare Books and Manuscripts. Under the direction of Russell Hayward, Tsimshian Language Coordinator, and Ira Booth, Tribal Council Historian, of Metlakatla, Alaska on behalf of the Council Annette Islands Reserve, a painstaking effort was made to publish portions of the 10,000 pages of handwritten manuscripts completed by William Beynon. Mr. Beynon devised his own Tsimshian Alphabet, all handwritten characters and some passages very hard to decipher. The modern Sm’algya̱ x orthography developed by fluent speakers from many villages, including Metlakatla, Alaska, and the Tsimshian Sm’algya̱ x Language Authority is used in this updated publication, transcribed by The Haayk Foundation. The pronunciation guide is also printed on the following pages. -
