Synopsis Early in April in the year 1845, a 15-year old American pianist named Louis Moreau Gottschalk performed at the Salle Pleyel in Paris. On the program was Chopin's Piano Concerto in E minor, and Chopin happened to be in the audience and congratulated the young American on his performance. What exactly Chopin said depends on whom you asked. Gottschalk's first biographer claims it was, “Very good, my child, let me shake your hand,” while Gottschalk's sister insists it was, “I predict you will become the king of pianists!” In 1845, Parisian society was curious about anything American after experiencing other exotic exports from the New World, including P.T. Barnum's circus and George Catlin's paintings of Native American life. Anything American was definitely “hip.” Four years later, on today's date in 1849, Gottschalk returned to the Salle Pleyel, this time performing some of his own compositions, including a work entitled Bamboula, after the name of a deep-voiced Afro-Caribbean drum. The Parisian audiences had never heard anything like it and gave him a standing ovation. Gottschalk was born in New Orleans and was exposed from childhood to Cuban and Haitian music and went on to write original works which anticipate both the rhythms and colors of American jazz.

Marie, and Lake Michigan.His plan was to sketch Indian life before it disappeared forever.American Indians were dying so rapidly from European diseases,such as measles and smallpox, that many people believed that they would soon vanish as a race.Their culture was threatened too.As white settlers demanded more land,Indians were being herded into small pieces of land called“reservations”.Here they could no longer practice their traditional way of life.Kane wanted to capture Native American life while it still existed.Kane returned to Toronto at the end of 1845.He had received one good piece of advice and that was if he wanted to travel into the wilderness，he would have to go with experienced people.He was able to get the support of the Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company, Sir George Simpson.In May 1846, Kane joined the annual canoe fleet of fur traders going west.Kane would travel all through the wilderness areas of western Canada and northwestern U.S.A.During this time, he made hundreds of sketches of Indian life.Although Kane faced incredible hardships during his travels,he was able to see what he wanted to see.He was able to take part in one of the last great Buffalo hunts and killed two large bison himself.Traveling west with the fur traders he visited many forts and trading posts.He saw and painted a prairie fire.He shot a grizzly bear at close range and killed several wolves that attacked his horses.He learned to travel long distances on snowshoes in winter.Finally, he arrived at the Pacific coast, where he made some fine drawings of the west coast Indians.European diseases had reached there just before Kane.Fifteen hundred Indians had died near Fort Vancouver in the summer of 1848.One wealthy chief had ruled 1,000 warriors and had ten wives, four children and eighteen slaves.Now he had only one wife, one child and two slaves.Kane had not come too soon.However, there were tribes still unaffected by western culture and western diseases.Kane also traveled widely around the Columbia River in northwestern U.S.A.Everywhere he went, he sketched Indian chiefs and scenes of native life.On his return trip, he encountered a large war party of 1,500 braves on the warpath against their traditional enemies.He was able to sketch the leading chief, Big Snake,who was later killed in single combat during the battle.When he arrived back in Toronto, Kane gave an exhibit of his sketches and watercolors.Most of the rest of his life was spent turning these drawings into finished paintings.翻译保罗·凯恩，边疆艺术家自1492年克里斯托弗·哥伦布第一次见到美洲印第安人以来，许多欧洲人一直对印第安人的生活和文化着迷。因此，欧洲对土著美国人的绘素描和绘画有需求。从未见过印第安人的欧洲艺术家提供了大部分需求。但在十九世纪，一些画家进入印第安人领土，真实记录当地生活。美国画家乔治·卡特林是最早这样做的艺术家之一。1841年，卡特林出版了一本他的著作。卡特林的作品启发了另一位重要的边疆艺术家，加拿大的保罗·凯恩。保罗·凯恩1810年出生于爱尔兰。保罗九岁时，全家搬到加拿大安大略省多伦多。这个小男孩对学校不太感兴趣。当时，多伦多地区的维格瓦姆斯仍有印第安人居住。年轻的保罗喜欢参观印第安人村庄而不是去上学。由于保罗在学校的时间很少，他基本上是一个自学成才的艺术家。他还成为了一个出人意料的好作家，尽管他没有花多少时间学习拼写或语法。在制作和装饰家具几年后，凯恩准备旅行。1836年至1841年，他在美国生活和旅行。1841年至1843年，他在欧洲旅行，研究过去的伟大画家。他回到美国直到1845年，然后回到多伦多。凯恩一回来，就立即前往佐治亚湾附近的荒野地区，玛丽和密歇根湖。他的计划是在印第安人永远消失之前勾勒出他们的生活。美洲印第安人正迅速死于麻疹和天花等欧洲疾病，许多人认为他们很快就会作为一个种族消失。他们的文化也受到了威胁。随着白人定居者要求更多的土地，印第安人被放逐到称为“保留地”的小块土地上。在这里，他们无法再实践他们的传统生活方式。凯恩想抓住美洲土著人还在时的生活。凯恩于1845年底返回多伦多。他收到了一条很好的建议，那就是如果他想去野外旅行，他必须和有经验的人一起去。他得到了哈德逊湾公司总裁乔治·辛普森爵士的支持。1846年5月，凯恩加入了每年一度的皮草贸易商向西航行的独木舟船队。凯恩将穿越加拿大西部和美国西北部的荒野地区。在此期间，他绘制了数百幅印第安人生活的素描。尽管凯恩在旅行中遇到了难以置信的困难，但他能够看到他想看到的东西。他参加了最后一次大型野牛狩猎，并亲自杀死了两只大野牛。他和毛皮商人一起向西旅行，参观了许多堡垒和贸易站。他看到并画了一场草原大火。他近距离射杀了一只灰熊，并杀死了几只袭击他的马的狼。他在冬天学会了穿雪鞋长途旅行。最后，他来到了太平洋海岸，在那里他画了一些西海岸印第安人的精美图画。就在凯恩之前，欧洲疾病已经蔓延到了那里。1848年夏天，1500名印度人在温哥华堡附近死亡。一位富有的酋长曾统治着1000名战士，有十个妻子、四个孩子和十八个奴隶。现在他只有一个妻子，一个孩子和两个奴隶。凯恩来得不够早。然而，仍有一些部落没有受到西方文化和西方疾病的影响。凯恩还广泛游历了美国西北部的哥伦比亚河。无论走到哪里，他都会勾勒出印第安酋长和当地生活的场景。在返程途中，他遇到了一支由1500名勇士组成的大型作战队伍，他们正在与传统敌人作战。他画出了首领大蛇的素描，大蛇后来在一场战斗中被杀。当他回到多伦多时，凯恩展示了他的素描和水彩画。他余生的大部分时间都在把这些画变成成品画。文稿及音频 关注公众号“高效英语磨耳朵”

Der Anwalt George Catlin setzte sich für die Indianer ein. Ab 1830 besuchte er mehr als 50 Stämme, auch solche, die noch nie Kontakt mit den Weißen hatten. Früh erkannte er, wie bedroht diese Kulturen sind und hielt ihr Leben in Gemälden fest.

George Catlin war ein Jurist, der im 19. Jahrhundert mit seinen Gemälden zum Anwalt der Indianer wird, bei seinen Landsleuten auf wenig Interesse stößt und in Europa mit Indianer Shows das Klischee vom "edlen Wilden" erzählt. Autoren: Veronika Bock und Ulrich Biermann

On this date in 1832, George Catlin wrote to the New York Commercial Advertiser from the mouth of the Yellowstone River, saying: “The health and amusements of this delightful country render it almost painful for me to leave it. The atmosphere is so light and pure that nothing like fevers and epidemics has ever been known to prevail here – indeed it is proverbial here that a man cannot die unless he is killed by the Indians. If the Cholera should ever cross the Atlantic, what a secure, and at the same time delightful refuge this country would be for those who would be able to reach it.”

I had John Coleman Cowboy Artist of America on the podcast today. John is just such a deep, interesting human being. John is one of the most successful artists of his generation but believe it or not, he didn't start out as an artist even though he knew he had this innate artistic talent inside him. John had to go through finding that artistic voice, which isn't an easy process. His earliest path was one of success as a business person, but it just wasn't the type of fulfillment he sought. Becoming a world-class sculptor and painter of Native American subject matter involved triumph and failure of many varieties, ultimately resulting in the man we get to hear from today.This podcast was an enlightening roadmap of perseverance. If you're an artist who says to themselves: "I don't know... I want to be an artist, but... do I have what it takes?" Well, maybe if you listen to this podcast, you'll see what it took for John to become the artist he is today. Quite frankly, it takes a lot of effort, but more than effort, it requires the emotional investment to transform into that particular version of yourself. John Coleman put it all together, and I'm glad he joined us to tell his story.

Your Child’s Crooked Teeth, Their Breathing & Their General Health Major medical breakthroughs can come from unexpected places, who would think an artist could transform orthodontic practice? George Catlin, an American artist born in 1796, is famous for his remarkable record in paintings and notes on native Indians but his great genius has been almost ignored till recent years. In his book entitled “Shut Your Mouth & Save Your Life” written in 1870 he details his assertions that the bad habit of modern man of mouth breathing was the cause of much of his disease and disfigurement. This was based on his close observation and questioning of thousands of native Indians & white immigrants. It has taken almost one and a half centuries for modern research in medicine to recognize the validity of this concept. Today there is a growing number of specialist orthodontists and health workers who say the same thing based on sound scientific evidence. On 5th October 2012 there was a Conference in New York of American Association of Physiological Medicine & Dentistry discussing this association. Since then an increasing number of orthodontists are adding breath training to their regular practice services especially with young children whilst their cranial structures are developing. So now we know that orthodontic problems like crooked or crowded teeth are not due to genetic factors but to the bad habit of mouth breathing. You can watch an excellent video on YouTube by the leading international dentist Dr. John Flutter who explains the technicalities, just search for Dr. John Flutter. If the only adverse effect of mouth breathing was poor facial development that would be bad enough, but mouth breathing also predisposes children to other health problems including recurrent throat infections, enlarged tonsils, asthma, poor sleep and much more, simply because their bodies are poorly oxygenated and the protection against infective agents is lost by not breathing through the nose. Everyone can learn to breathe normally in just a few weeks with the Buteyko Method Training. Much of the success of the Buteyko Method of training is due to the elimination of mouth breathing, advice against over-eating, the encouragement of more physical exercise and advice on quality sleeping. The ideas are so simple to teach or learn that they have been dismissed by mainstream medicine that increasingly puts its faith (yes, I use the word “faith” intentionally) in drug therapy or other intensive medical interventions. The truth is there is little profit to be made from simple remedial systems that could threaten the profitability of our international pharmaceutical companies and the vast industry built on the management of disease if the public were better informed of their existence. Meanwhile, take Mr. Catlin’s advice and ensure you and your family “Shut Your Mouth & start on the road to better health!” Dr john Flutter video:

  This podcast emanates from Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. Rock Island is one of what the locals call the "Quad Cities", four towns or small cities–Rock Island and Moline in Illinois, Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa–that stretch along the Mississippi River at what used to be the largest rapids on the Upper Mississippi, just above where the Rock River flows into the Father of Waters. These rapids are centered on Arsenal Island, which has been occupied by the United States Army since 1830 when it was Fort Armstrong. If there's a genius of this curious place, it's Black Hawk, the war chief of the Sauk tribe that once had its  town near the junction of the Rock and Mississippi, and which summered on what's now Arsenal Island. Around here, Black Hawk is the name of a college, a hotel, and a chain of banks. Farther afield there's the Chicago Black Hawks, and the Army's workhorse helicopter that owe their name to his inspiration. As my guest today, my colleague Jane Simonsen has said in a recent article, Black Hawk is now "an 'Indian' figure tinted by a vague sense of history and burnished by settler-colonist nostalgia." Today Jane and I discuss Black Hawk, but more than that. We discuss what Black Hawk wore. This turns out to be very important, because what he wore provoked white Americans to comment, and sometimes provoked them to irritation or pity. Fashion and how it's appropriated say not just something about the wearer, but the beholder. In this case, it says a lot about how we want Indians to be–and in a strange way, very hip, with-it, post modernly conscious people turn out to have a sensibility remarkably similar to people in the 1830's. Jane Simonsen is Associate Professor of History here at Augustana College, and our Department's Chair. She is the author of the well-reviewed Making Home Work: Domesticity and Native American Assimilation in the American West, 1860-1919, published by the University of North Carolina Press.

In this studio conservators restore the surface of paintings to a condition that most closely resembles an earlier unaltered or undamaged state. The two most common procedures that take place here are cleaning and inpainting. During cleaning, conservators carefully remove layers of accumulated grime; darkened varnish; and old, discolored retouching from the surface of paintings. To restore areas of lost paint, conservators fill the areas of loss with gesso, and inpaint them to match surrounding areas of original paint. They use easily reversible materials and take great care not to cover any of the original paint that had been applied by the artist.

What can George Catlin's artworks and other primary sources reveal about the natives of the Great Plains and their interaction with nineteenth-century white culture? This information-packed teacher guide incorporates numerous primary sources that complement the artworks and writings of George Catlin and detail his interaction with the Native Americans of the Great Plains.

Shirley Williams, now Baroness Williams, returns to her childhood homes in London's Chelsea and the New Forest. Her mother was the writer, Vera Brittain, whose most famous novel - Testament of Youth - was a best-seller when Shirley was a child in the 1930s. Her father, George Catlin, was an academic and and an instinctive feminist whose own mother had been an early suffragette, ostracised by Victorian society. He was a frustrated politician who stood for parliament a number of times but was never elected. But these were not the only nurturing adults in her young life. Also hugely significant was her mother's best friend, Winifred Holtby, and the housekeeper and her husband, Amy & Charlie Burnett - a bright, under-educated working class couple whom Shirley adored. The conversations in her childhood home centred on world events - the Spanish civil war and the rise of Hitler. Vera Brittain was a pacifist and, as such, found herself and her husband on the Nazis' blacklist. Had the Germans invaded in 1940, Shirley's parents would likely have been eliminated. Fearful of this, soon after war broke out and with the battle of the Atlantic raging, they put Shirley and her brother on a ship and evacuated them to the USA. The programme focuses on the relationships she forged with the adults in her early life and what she learned from them all. She credits her father with giving her the confidence to pursue a life in politics, Amy with imbuing in her a practical understanding of the constraints of a class-bound society, her mother with a vision of nobility and Winifred? Winifred was simply fun. Wendy Robbins accompanies Shirley Williams as she revisits the homes and haunts of her childhood. Producer : Rosamund Jones.

On May 19, 1879, a freight car loaded with George Catlin's paintings of Native Americans along with four boxes of ethnographic material made its way from Philadelphia to Washington, DC, destined for the National Museum (Smithsonian). It was a gift from Mrs. Joseph Harrison, widow of Joseph Harrison Jr., the gentleman who rescued George Catlin from his creditors in London in 1852. This illustrated lecture traces the uncharted history of Catlin's "Indian curiosities" which formed a major part of his traveling Indian Gallery and are now found in a number of institutions.
