Segrarna skriver historien, men historien skapas inte av segrare. Och ibland är det förlorarna som vinner. Malin Krutmeijer förklarar. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Visste ni att Winnemem Wintu-stammen i norra Kalifornien har fått tillbaka sin lax? Chinook-laxen, på svenska kungslax, lekte i McCloudfloden så länge att den är en del av Winnemems ursprungsmyt. Det var den som gav dem röster att tala och sjunga med, i utbyte mot att de lovade att alltid beskydda laxen och tala i dess sak.Med de europeiska nybyggarna kom laxodling och 1945 ett dammbygge. Det blev slutet för den vilda laxen. Winnemem-stammen gick nästan samma öde till mötes. Idag är de ett par hundra medlemmar.Men de har lyckats köpa tillbaka mark, och sextio år efter det ödesdigra dammbygget bestämde de sig för att utföra att utföra en rituell dans för laxen. De dansade i flera dagar och det hela fick internationell uppmärksamhet. Plötsligt kom ett mail från andra sidan världen: ”Vi har er lax.”Det visade sig att laxodlingsföretaget hade exporterat laxägg, och i en flod på maoriernas mark i södra Nya Zeeland hade de kläckts och fisken frodats. Nu skickade maorierna tillbaka befruktade laxägg. Kungslaxen är tillbaka i McCloudfloden. Den här historien är ett exempel på vilken kulturell styrka ursprungsamerikanerna besitter, trots att de genomlevt ett halvt årtusende av förtryck. Det är inte ur det perspektivet man brukar berätta om de amerikanska urfolken och den europeiska kolonisationen.Teorierna om när människorna anlände till Amerika är inte entydiga, men de kom från Sibirien, troligen för 20-30 000 år sedan. Då fanns det en landtunga över Behrings sund, och de följde sina bytesdjur över den. Sakta vandrade de söderut. Omkring 10 000 år före vår tideräkning var Amerika befolkat från Alaska i norr till Monte Verde i södra Chile. Från de här människorna härstammar Nord- och Sydamerikas ursprungsbefolkning. I sin bok ”Indigenous continent” tecknar historieprofessorn Pekka Hämäläinen en bild av deras liv som rent paradisiskt. Välsignade med ett överflöd av fisk, vilt, örter och egna odlingar levde de i trygga, politiskt sofistikerade samhällen, från byar till högkulturer som Inka och Maya. Vi vet ju vad som hände, eller hur? Européerna anlände. Först spanjorerna, efter dem fransmän, holländare och britter. Kolonisationen innebar snudd på utplåning genom flera hundra år av krig, massakrer, fördrivning, slaveri, europeiska sjukdomar och tvångsassimilation. I historieböckerna har vi fått lära oss att den ursprungsamerikanska kulturen blev helt förödd.Segrarna skriver historien heter det ju – men vad är en segrare? Vad är en förlorare? Pekka Hämäläinens bok är ett exempel på ny historieforskning som vrider och vänder på sådana frågor ur ursprungsamerikansk synvinkel.En annan som arbetar i samma anda är antropologen David Treuer, som bland annat gjort en nytolkning av den ökända massakern vid Wounded Knee 1890. Han tillhör själv Ojibwe-stammen, och har skrivit om hur historieskrivningen om ursprungsbefolkningens utplåning påverkade honom som ung.”Och ändå”, skrev han, ”kändes det inte som om min kultur och civilisation var borta”. Nej, det är den ju inte. Ursprungsamerikanerna är idag flera miljoner. De har tillskansat sig stort självbestämmande och varken deras språk eller kulturer är utdöda. Hur gjorde de för att överleva? Till att börja med ska man inte göra misstaget att tro att ursprungsamerikanerna hade levt i något slags oförändrad, konserverad kultur tills européerna kom. De hade redan många gånger genomlevt konflikter, revolter, klimatförändringar och civilisationer som föll. Deras samhällen var inte likadana, och olika grupper hade visat stor förmåga till flexibilitet. De var med andra ord inte helt handfallna i mötet med européerna, utan provade olika strategier. Hämäläinen skildrar hur de kunde lura iväg spanjorer, fransmän och engelsmän ut i vildmarken. Hur de slogs, bedrev handel eller vandrade till nya landområden. De bildade allianser, både med andra ursprungsamerikanska folk och med kolonisatörerna.Den officiella historieskrivningen brukar inte intressera sig så mycket för sådant här, eftersom ursprungsfolken inte lyckades etablera sig som den dominerande gruppen i förhållande till européerna. Deras strategier blir gärna en fotnot i segrarens stora bok, trots att de påverkade historien. För historien skapas inte bara genom dominans. Också ursprungsamerikanernas mindre manövrer, som att erbjuda handel med en viss vara och inte en annan, att förhala en landockupation, att ingå ett tillfälligt samarbete eller bedriva något som liknade gerillakrigföring, formade utvecklingen av de amerikanska samhällena. Pekka Hämäläinens metod för att visa detta är att i närgången detalj skildra händelser och handlingskedjor där ursprungsamerikanerna parerade eller initierade motstånd mot kolonialmakten. Historikern Ned Blackhawk har ett lite annat angreppssätt och ger större utrymme för de materiella förutsättningarna. I boken ”The rediscovery of America” får vi bland annat veta sådant som hur mycket spanjorerna tjänade på att förslava ursprungsbefolkningen i Mexikos silvergruvor. Blackhawk ger en bild av konflikt, kamp och förlust. Inte minst ger han sig in i en verklig historisk smärtpunkt, nämligen när nybyggare från Europa vällde in i Nordamerika på 1800-talet. I USA:s nationalistiska historieskrivning brukar det heta att de modigt och mödosamt flyttade civilisationsgränsen, the frontier, från kust till kust. Det har beskrivits som en triumf – så grundades världens största och bästa demokrati.För ursprungsamerikanerna var det istället en skärseld. Staten hade begränsad kontroll över nybyggarnas framfart, och för dem var ursprungsbefolkningen fienden, en lägre stående sorts människa. En våldsam rasism frodades med ren utrotning som mål. Det var folkmordets tid. Ett folkmord som alltså är inbyggt i nationens själva idé om sig själv. Det är inte bara vare sig segrarna eller minoriteternas effektiva motstånd som formar ett samhälle. Sanningen om ett samhälle kan finnas i hur förlusten är konstituerad.När 1900-talet tog vid, efter 1800-talets massakrer och fördrivningar, inleddes en politik där tvångsassimilation stod på agendan. Då trädde ursprungsamerikaner fram och inledde en intensiv kamp för sina rättigheter. Nu var det de som millimeter för millimeter, och med många bakslag, tillskansade sig rätten till land, språk och inte minst rätten att bli medborgare och rösta i sitt eget land. Ur askan reste de sig: Oneida, Ojibwe, Latoka, Shoshone – de officiellt erkända ursprungsamerikanska nationerna är idag långt över femhundra.Och så finns förstås sådana som Winnemem Wintu-stammen, som fick hem sin heliga lax. Det kan låta som en liten sak, men den berättelsen är en av många pärlor av motståndskraft, som glimrar i Amerikas historia.Malin KrutmeijerkulturjournalistLitteraturPekka Hämäläinen: Indigenous Continent – The Epic Contest for North America.

Las ideas puede llegar a ser muy poderosas, especialmente cuando se han extendido y las abraza mucha gente. Ese es el caso del destino manifiesto o “manifest destiny”, una frase que resume una doctrina muy arraigada en la sociedad estadounidense del siglo XIX, que afirmaba que los recién fundados Estados Unidos de América tenían el derecho, e incluso la obligación divina, de expandirse por toda Norteamérica. La idea del destino manifiesto surgió en la primera mitad del siglo en un contexto de fervor religioso y optimismo nacionalista. Los primeros colonos europeos, en su mayoría protestantes llegados de Europa, veían en América una tierra prometida donde construir una nueva sociedad basada en sus valores. Esta visión se entrelazó con la creencia de que eran un pueblo elegido por Dios para llevar la civilización y el progreso al resto del continente. A medida que la joven nación se consolidaba y ganaba fuerza, la idea de expansión territorial fue sumando partidarios. El vasto territorio al oeste del río Misisipi, con sus riquezas naturales y oportunidades económicas, se convirtió en un objetivo codiciado. La doctrina del destino manifiesto proporcionó una justificación moral y religiosa para esta ambición, presentándola como una misión divina y civilizadora en lugar de una mera conquista para ganar nuevos territorios y colonizarlos. Estados Unidos había nacido a finales del siglo anterior como una federación formada por trece ex colonias británicas que se independizaron de Gran Bretaña con el apoyo de Francia y España. Unas décadas más tarde comenzaron su expansión. En 1803 compraron Luisiana a Napoleón, en 1819 Florida a Fernando VII de España. En paralelo colonos estadounidenses empezaron a llegar a Texas que se independizó conformando una república que luego se uniría a Estados Unidos. Eso hizo estallar la guerra con México que resultó en la anexión de California y los territorios del suroeste que México había heredado del virreinato de Nueva España. La fiebre del oro de California hizo el resto, atrajo a miles de colonos acelerando la expansión hacia la costa del Pacífico. Esta colonización del oeste no estuvo exenta de conflictos. Los indígenas americanos, que habitaban esas tierras desde tiempos inmemoriales, fueron desplazados, recluidos en reservas o sometidos a políticas de asimilación forzada. Lo mismo sucedió con la población de origen hispano. La expansión también exacerbó las tensiones sobre la esclavitud, ya que los nuevos territorios plantearon la cuestión de si permitirla o no. A finales del siglo XIX la doctrina del destino manifiesto estaba en su apogeo. Estados Unidos era ya un país industrial que crecía con fuerza. Pusieron sus ojos en el Caribe sobre las provincias españolas de Cuba y Puerto Rico de las que se apoderaron tras la guerra con España de 1898. Al comenzar el siglo XX Estados Unidos iba de costa a costa y se había convertido en una potencia mundial. No era lo que habían planeado los padres fundadores, pero si el empeño de sus descendientes que, convencidos de su superioridad, llegaron incluso a plantearse cómo exportar el modelo estadounidense al resto del mundo, algo que tratarían de hacer pero abandonando el programa de expansión territorial. El destino manifiesto sigue siendo objeto de debate en nuestros días. Mientras unos lo ven como una expresión legítima del espíritu pionero que acompañó a la federación desde sus inicios, otros lo consideran una mancha en la historia del país, un recordatorio de la injusticia y la violencia que acompañaron a la expansión americana.

The names of Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, and Crazy Horse are often readily recognized among many Americans. Yet the longer, dynamic history of the Lakota - a history from which these three famous figures were created - remains largely untold. In Lakota America: A New History of Indigenous Power (Yale, 2019), historian Pekka Hämäläinen, author of The Comanche Empire, aims to provide a comprehensive history of Lakota migration, expansion, resistance, survival, and resilience. In turn, Hämäläinen tells the story of a people who “were - and are - shapeshifters with a palpable capacity to adapt to changing conditions around them and yet remain Lakotas.” With the Lakota as its primary historical agents, Lakota America recontextualizes the history of North America in terms of Lakota actions, interests, and power. Hämäläinen starts with the history of the Oceti Sakowin in the seventeenth-century western Great Lakes. From there, Hämäläinen follows the Lakota's western trajectory, first to the Mnisose (Missouri River), and then to the sacred Paha Sapa (Black Hills). In both instances of relocation, the Lakota reinvent themselves while retaining their distinct identity and place in the world. Thanks to - rather than in spite of - their adaptive capacities, says Hämäläinen, the Lakota repeatedly exercise their control of their own destiny as well as the arc of North American history more broadly. Lakota America places the Lakota at the center of North American history, tracing its course up to the present day, and illuminating how generations of shapeshifting has ensured the endurance and resilience of Lakota peoples, sovereignty, and history today.

Opperhoofden met verentooien, wilden te paard en altijd in gevecht met cowboys. En makkelijk overmeesterd door kolonisten uit Engeland, Frankrijk of Spanje. Het is het stereotype beeld van indianen. Maar volgens de Finse historicus Pekka Hämäläinen is het anders gelopen dan we denken. Indianen waren geen passieve decorstukken van de geschiedenis. Ze waren actieve spelers, en geen slachtoffers.Presentatie: Gemma VenhuizenGasten: Sjoerd de Jong en Hendrik SpieringRedactie en montage: Elze van DrielFoto: Historica Graphica Collection/Heritage Images/Getty ImagesHeeft u vragen, suggesties of ideeën over onze journalistiek?

Luottamus ja turvallinen ilmapiiri luovat pohjan menestykselle. Tämä todetaan nyt huoltamolla, jossa vieraina ovat Suomen cheerleading maajoukkueen päävalmentaja Maria Wahlroos sekä vahvasti jääkiekon parissa mentaalivalmentajana toimiva Pekka Hämäläinen. Suomen cheerleadingmaajoukkue teki mahdottomasta totta päihittämällä MM-kisoissa lajin ikuisen ykkösen USA:n huolimatta valtavasta erosta harrastajamäärissä ja resursseista. Seuraavana vuonna joukkue teki sen uudestaan. Historialliset maailmanmestaruudet voitettiin Maria Wahlroosin positiivisella johtamisfilosofialla, joka perustui itsensä ylittämiseen. Jokainen joukkueen jäsen uskoi mahdottomaan päämäärään - ja toteutti sen. Maria Wahlroos on yhdessä Ulla Appelsinin kanssa vetänyt valmennusopit yhteen kirjassa Näin tehdään ihme. Pekka Hämäläinen puolestaan kuvaa kirjassaan Myötätuntoinen valmennus valmennuskulttuurin muutosta kovasta valmentajakeskeisestä linjasta urheilijakeskeiseen myötätuntoiseen valmennukseen.

The names of Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, and Crazy Horse are often readily recognized among many Americans. Yet the longer, dynamic history of the Lakota - a history from which these three famous figures were created - remains largely untold. In Lakota America: A New History of Indigenous Power (Yale, 2019), historian Pekka Hämäläinen, author of The Comanche Empire, aims to provide a comprehensive history of Lakota migration, expansion, resistance, survival, and resilience. In turn, Hämäläinen tells the story of a people who “were - and are - shapeshifters with a palpable capacity to adapt to changing conditions around them and yet remain Lakotas.” With the Lakota as its primary historical agents, Lakota America recontextualizes the history of North America in terms of Lakota actions, interests, and power. Hämäläinen starts with the history of the Oceti Sakowin in the seventeenth-century western Great Lakes. From there, Hämäläinen follows the Lakota’s western trajectory, first to the Mnisose (Missouri River), and then to the sacred Paha Sapa (Black Hills). In both instances of relocation, the Lakota reinvent themselves while retaining their distinct identity and place in the world. Thanks to - rather than in spite of - their adaptive capacities, says Hämäläinen, the Lakota repeatedly exercise their control of their own destiny as well as the arc of North American history more broadly. Lakota America places the Lakota at the center of North American history, tracing its course up to the present day, and illuminating how generations of shapeshifting has ensured the endurance and resilience of Lakota peoples, sovereignty, and history today.

In his book, The Comanche Empire (Yale University Press, 2008), Pekka Hämäläinen refutes the traditional story that Indians were bit players or unfortunate victims of the white man's conquest of the American West. Old maps that divided America into Spanish, French, and British territories, Hämäläinen argues, are “fictions” insofar as they entirely miss great indigenous contenders of military, economic, and political power. Such a one were the Comanches who fought, traded, and cooperated—often simultaneously—with European and Native American rivals, and rose to be a dominating power in the Great Plains for almost 200 years. The Comanche Empire brings a riveting narrative in a dialectical spirit to the fields of American, American Indian, Spanish and Mexican Imperial, and Borderlands histories. Professor Hämäläinen is Rhodes Professor at the University of Oxford, specializing in early and nineteenth-century North American history especially in indigenous, colonial, imperial, borderlands, and environmental history—all topics that invite comparative discussion and a global view. His first book was When Disease Makes History: Epidemics and Great Historical Turning Points (2006); The Comanche Empire is his second book; he is currently working on a history of the Lakota-Sioux that will be published next year. Krzysztof Odyniec is a historian of the Early Modern Spanish Empire specializing on culture, diplomacy, and travel. He completed his PhD in 2017 at UC Berkeley where he is now a Visiting Scholar; he also teaches at Los Medanos College and Berkeley City College. Learn more about your ad choices.
