The Small Shall Be Strong

For thousands of years the Washoe people have lived in the shadows of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. At the center of their lands sits beautiful Lake Tahoe, a name derived from the Washoe word Da ow a ga. Perhaps because the Washoe population has always been small or because it has been more peaceful than other tribal communities, its history has never been published. In The Small Shall Be Strong, Matthew S. Makley demonstrates that, in spite of this lack of scholarly attention, Washoe history is replete with broad significance. The Washoes, for example, gained culturally important lands through the 1887 Dawes Act. And during the 1990s, the tribe sought to ban climbing on one of its most sacred sites, Cave Rock, a singular instance of Native sacred concerns leading to restrictions. The Small Shall Be Strong illustrates a history and raises a broad question: How might greater scholarly attention to the numerous lesser-studied tribes in the United States compel a rethinking of larger historical narratives?

The book of Revelation clearly tells us that someday there would be an end to this world; many have tried to determine this mystery date in our future to no avail. But the mystery that the date seekers and many others failed to notice is this, WHY Why is so much more important than when? There is no question about it; this world will definitely come to an end. But, why is it going to end? In an ancient generation of mankind God gave man his law. It is called the “TEN COMMANDMENTS”. In today’s society these laws are broken every day without much notice. To our own ignorance there is always a price to pay when we disobey. But life goes on. These laws were put into place to protect us from ourselves. But there is one sin that brought our world to an end that fell through the cracks virtually unnoticed. This great sin has now spread throughout the entire earth; Christians and unbelievers are all involved in this sin that has now grown so large that it is actually bringing in the curse of God for the judgment of this sin that will ultimately end our world as we know it. Fulfilling the prophecies of the book of Revelation. In this day and time knowledge has been much increased. So the sin that caused our world to end would have to be put in place in such a way as to be greatly unnoticed. Such as an illusionist or magician. In this book that you are about to read, you will learn the greatest deception ever pulled off in the world’s history, and at a cost so great that it will cause the end of our world, as we know it. The time for this judgment has already began, as early as 2007 the count down clock for the end of the world events began to tick off. The Holy bible was given to mankind directly from God to tell us how life began and why our world ended.

In the 1850s, early Euro-American settlers established two remote outposts on the slopes of the eastern Sierra Nevada, both important way stations on the central emigrant trail. The Carson Valley settlement was located on the western edge of the Utah Territory, while the Honey Lake Valley hamlet, 120 miles north, fell within California’s boundaries but was separated from the rest of the state by the formidable mountain range. Although these were some of the first white communities established in the region, both areas had long been inhabited by Indigenous Americans. Carson Valley had been part of Washoe Indian territory, and Honey Lake Valley was a section of Northern Paiute land. Michael Makley explores the complexities of this turbulent era, when the pioneers’ actions set the stage for both valleys to become part of national incorporation. With deft writing and meticulously researched portrayals of the individuals involved, including the Washoe and Northern Paiute peoples, Imposing Order Without Law focuses on the haphazard evolution of “frontier justice” in these remote outposts. White settlers often brought with them their own ideas of civil order. Makley’s work contextualizes the extralegal acts undertaken by the settlers to enforce edicts in their attempt to establish American communities. Makley’s book reveals the use and impact of group violence, both within the settlements and within the Indigenous peoples’ world, where it transformed their lives.
