Peru Excerpt However, the majority of the yanas were young people given by the rural communities to the Inca or his repre-sentative as servants. The position of these artisans shows no essential difference from that of the yanas a category of persons with a somewhat ill-defined and often contradictory status, seeming at some times to be veritable slaves and at others privileged officials. The growing importance of the yanas as the empire expanded can only be explained if their production was greater than that obtained by the traditional system of labor service. www.worldtrek.org /odyssey/teachers/peruexcerpts/artisanexcerpt.html   (706 words)

Yana upset at ad in fur coat But Gupta was furious because firstly, she endorses only 7Up (and not 7Up Ice), and secondly, Yana is a PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) activist and would never wear a fur coat in her life. The image took Yana totally by surprise and when she called the ad agency (J W Thompson) for an explanation, they told her it was a digitally enhanced picture where she was dressed up in fur to suggest the ice-cold nature of 7Up Ice. Yana is planning to take a short break soon, after which she plans to come back and launch a full-time acting career. web.mid-day.com /hitlist/2005/july/113197.htm   (527 words)

Yana Gupta Separates from Husband Yana has been modelling since the age of 16 and has worked in Milan, Paris and Vienna before settling in Pune, India, where her husband is based. The film has already caused a lot of controversial talks, mainly because of her routine for the song Bin Laden nan maava, which mentions Osama Bin Laden, claimed to be responsible for the death of 3000 people in the bombing of the World Trade Center. The reasons of the split, as Yana said, are too personal to reveal them to public. www.fashiongates.com /Magazine/Yana-Gupta-18-05-2005-65071.html   (288 words)

Ishi - The Last Yahi Indian the Northern Yana, the Central Yana, the Southern Yana, and the Yahi.

The Red Book of the Peoples of the Russian Empire Their initial aim was to collect tribute in the form of sable furs from the native people and to build fortified towns along the banks of the River Yana. The majority of the Yukaghir people had been assimilated by that time: the nomadic reindeer herders from the upper Anadyr had switched to using the Koryak and Chukchi languages, and the Yukaghir on the River Yana had Evenized, and the settled fishermen from the middle Anadyr had adopted Russian. Probably part of the Yukaghir moved still further to the north: to the upper Yana, Indigirka, Kolyma and Anadyr rivers, and into the forests and the tundra. www.eki.ee /books/redbook/yukaghirs.shtml   (11999 words)

Encyclopedia of North American Indians - - Ishi Sam Batwi, one of the few remaining Yana people, was brought to try to talk with him because they were both Indians from the same general area. But although the Yahis were a part of the same linguistic group as the Yanas, their languages were not very similar, and the two men did not understand each other well. In the twenty-five-year period following the beginning of the California Gold Rush in 1849, most of the native people of northern California had been killed by Euro-Americans or their diseases, and those who remained were having a hard time surviving the miners' and settlers' impact on the land. college.hmco.com /history/readerscomp/naind/html/na_017600_ishi.htm   (845 words)

Cottonwood ~ picturesque northern California A notable massacre in the Cottonwood region occurred in 1864, but these were primarily Yana (Nosa-Nozi) people, whom the whites regarded as more aggressive than the Wintu and Nomo Lacke; but who regarded themselves as a courageous warrior people, in contrast to the acquiescent Wintuns. Shasta County and the north state, Cottonwood shares an appeal as something of a recreation and retirement haven, offering plenty of summer sunshine, and lots of rural beauty to people alienated by the congestion or exorbitant cost of living, and presumed rampant crime, of the major heterogenous urban areas south of us. Nevertheless, on the west side of the River, the "Cottonwood Indians," who were the riverine Wintun rather than Hokan-speaking, and therefore unrelated to Ishi and his Yahi-Yana-Nozi kin, found powerful defenders among the whites. geocities.com /Heartland/Village/1372   (2690 words)

NMNH - Repatriation Office - The Repatriation of Ishi, the last Yahi India The notion that Ishi was the "last of his people" comes from the fact that Ishi was the last known Yana to live a life essentially outside of direct contact with whites. These are terms made up by anthropologists and refer to the two closely related dialects of the Yana language: "Yana" and "Yahi" both mean man, in the northern and southern dialects respectively. In fact, although he has been described as "the last Yahi," Ishi always identified himself as a YahiYana Indian. www.nmnh.si.edu /anthro/repatriation/projects/ishi.htm   (2188 words)

Canku Ota - NA Nation Links At the time of the arrival of the whites, the indigenous peoples had fairly definite areas of habitation, with the Yana (Nosa-Nozi) occupying the area east of the Sacramento River, and three general Wintun peoples occupying the area west of the river and into the foothills. Frémont named what we now know as Battle Creek "Nozi Creek" after these Yana people. The Wintu are the northern most group of the Wintun people that inhabit a long narrow stretch of the western Sacramento Valley north of the San Francisco bay to the Trinity/Sacramento/McCloud rivers (Lapena 324). www.turtletrack.org /Links/NANations/CO_NANationLinks_VZ.htm   (1289 words)

On the 21st of April the community held a meeting with the Comisión for the Indigenous Peoples Organization of Pastaza OPIP and the army that had occupied the community of Yana Yacu.

TWSG 10 - Threatened Waterfowl in Lower Yana River, Russia Most of the breeding sites known to local people on the Yana River Delta were flooded by high water levels in 1996, and no nests were found.

The Yukaghir population was considerably reduced in the 17th--19th centuries owing to epidemics, internecine warfare and the colonization policy of the tsarist government -- partly also due to their assimilation by the Chukchi, Yakut, Even and Russian peoples.
