How and Why Did American Women Reformers Support Russian Revolutionary Catherine Breshkovsky before 1917 and Withdraw Their Support in 1919?

Prior to the Bolshevik Revolution in late 1917, the Russian revolutionary movement enjoyed broad support among American progressives in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. The arrival of Catherine Breshkovsky, a well-educated, noble-blooded revolutionary, further solidified these ties between Russian and American reform in 1904. While in America, she befriended many American women, especially suffragists and settlement house workers, who were united by their universalist ideas of human progress. These connections, however, were severely undermined by the realities of war and nationalism.

The video, "Interpreting the Totem Poles of Joe Hillaire," is a digital complement to the published book, A Totem Pole History: The Work of Lummi Carver Joe Hillaire (University of Nebraska Press, 2013). The Lummi Reservation is the northernmost of the Coast Salish reservations, and it is the only U.S. Native community south of Alaska where totem pole carving is significant. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, there are few carving houses at Lummi. So Lummi totem pole carving truly was, and remains, a rare form of art. Pauline Hillaire’s father was one of three major carvers in the early twentieth century, along with Al Charles and Morrie Alexander, who perpetuated the art of totem carving in the Lummi Coast Salish style. The first of the totem poles that Pauline interprets is a story pole called Halibut Fisherman. The pole was likely carved by her brother Lewis Hillaire, with the assistance of their father. Pauline first explains the cultural practice of her tradition in regards to how to read a story pole: from the bottom up to the top on the front; then down the back of the pole, from the top to the bottom. The second pole discussed is Joe Hillaire’s best known carving, "The Land in the Sky." It was carved for the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle: Century 21. Pauline explains some of the most significant features of the pole and the story that it tells. Next, the Bellingham Centennial History Pole represents a history pole, as distinct from a story pole. Joe carved this pole in 1952 to commemorate the 1852 arrival in Bellingham of the settlers Henry Roeder and Russell Peabody, who founded a sawmill there, and initiated industry and an era of ongoing Indian-white interaction in the region. The Bellingham Centennial History Pole contains many symbols of Lummi culture and identity. Some whimsical elements are evident in the carving, along with the solemn events of history that the pole records. The pole was restored in 2007 and installed at the Whatcom County Courthouse. Joe Hillaire’s international efforts for intercultural reconciliation took place in connection with the aftermath of WWII. The Kobe-Seattle Sister-Cities Pole was presented to the people of Kobe, Japan, on behalf of the people of Seattle in 1961. Joe began carving the pole in Seattle's Pioneer Square, where residents and visitors could watch him carve, and learn of the Sister-Cities initiative. He traveled to Kobe for the installation, where he addressed school and community groups. Joe carved the Schelangen/Mobil Pole in 1954 for the General Petroleum Refinery in Ferndale, WA. The pole was commissioned to represent the relationship between the Lummi Tribe, industry, and the local community. This pole is also known as the Mobil Pole and the Ferndale Pole, but the original name given by the carver was the Schelangen pole. Schelangen refers to the Lummi way of life and all that must be preserved, protected, and taught. The Man in Transition Pole was initially carved for the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle and was later installed at the Northwest Indian College in Bellingham. The pole represents growing in maturity, whether by means of the spiritual discipline of the smokehouse way of life, or growing to be an adult with competence in a profession, as occurs when one conquers one’s lower self and ascends to mastery by completing one’s higher education. In the final segment of the video, Pauline explains that the word “tribe” was not used by the Coast Salish; rather the people identified themselves by house. Pauline closes with the Star Song: an important song in her family, then and now. The song accompanies a photomontage of historical images of her family. The video concludes with a fifteen-minute segment of Pauline telling the mythic story “Land in the Sky,” illustrated with imagery and photographs of her father’s masterwork: The Land the Sky Pole.

This cluster offers a documentary video interpreting the History and Culture of the Quapaw people, which was sponsored by the Cultural Quapaw Tribal Committee, of which Elder Ardina Revard Moore is Chairperson. In the video Ardina Moore portrays the history and culture of the Quapaw people, highlighting, for example, how they have celebrated community and harvest during the Fourth of July week by holding Pow Wows. In past times, the Quapaws celebrated the Green Corn Ceremony, still observed by many tribes. The Green Corn Ceremony is held when the corn is growing but before it can be eaten; tribal members partake in rituals to honor the abundance the earth has shared with them. Elder Ardina Moore relates that beginning in the twentieth century Quapaws chose the green corn ripening as a time to reunite with families and kinsmen often traveling far to do so. During the Fourth of July week, more fortunate Quapaws share a portion of their wealth with gifts in the form of agricultural products, clothing, and money. It is also customary for Quapaws to pass on oral histories for future generations. In this video Elder Ardina Revard Moore addresses Dhigiha-speaking peoples by reminding them of their multiple contributions in sustaining their culture, and she urges the audience to pass on their heritage to their offspring.

Dragoslava is an ordinary Serbian citizen -- she is a woman like any other in a country that seems to be constantly in transition. A retired teacher, Dragoslava juggles four TV sets, three grandchildren, two best friends and a husband. She has lived in five countries without ever moving from her flat in a small border town. The media and politics creep into the everyday family life but she reflects about it with humor and determination. For the kids, she invents real life stories instead of fairy tales and keeps her desire to see a future of hope. Through the retelling of her own life, we examine the past and present Serbia, and the changes to come.When the Pigs Come acts as a mirror, reflecting the importance of personal commitment and civic activism to change the state of affairs. With tenderness and humor, the Tutorov creates an account, as enthusiastic as it is analytical, of a woman who, without fanfare, has become a heroine of society.
