Abstract
This paper outlines the Aryan Nations (AN) movement and how it achieved international support. The paper looks at the competing factions of Aryan Nations and its many small, transitory subgroups. The paper relates that the organization has moved from mere ideology to murder and contends that AN is a pathetic movement that has spurned into a group representing abject hatred and crime. The paper predicts that regardless of who is at the helm, AN will continue to be an extremely dangerous group.
From the Paper
"Aryan Nations (AN) is an international anti-Semitic white supremacist group. It was founded in the 1970 decade by Richard Girnt Butler as an arm of the Christian Identity group Church of Jesus Christ-Christian. That year marked the beginning of Butler's determined effort to reinvent his organization with a range of new tactics and ventures designed primarily to capitalize on the growing neo-Nazi Skinhead movement. Butler hosted an annual youth festival for Skinheads at his compound featuring bands playing white power music."

Abstract
This paper examines the correctional institution recruiting-grounds of both the Aryan Nations and the Black Guerrilla Family. It looks at how the Black Guerrilla Family is typically found in adult prisons, but has also been reported as active by local law enforcement in adult jails and in juvenile correctional institutions. It also examines the BGF's enemy, the Aryan Brotherhood, first formed in the early 1960s in San Quentin, which is composed predominately of outlaw bikers and the ranks of the American Nazi Party and other groups.
From the Paper
"The potential danger posed to society by many of the extremist and terrorist groups and organizations that exist today can be directly assessed from their links to convicted criminals, and their associations with organized crime. There are two principle associations between domestic terrorist groups and the criminal subculture within the United States; the first and most obvious being the use of crimes such as robbery, theft and drug trafficking as a means to accumulate funding to achieve their higher goals, and secondly as a population and environment from which to recruit willing and able members."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Aryan Brotherhood, a white supremacist group that believes in the ideology that white people (biologically European/ American in descent) are considered the supreme race, which is similar to Adolf Hitler's, pro-Aryan, anti-Semitic ideologies during the World War II. They originated in California in 1967, particularly at the San Quentin prison and 'hate' any individual who has black skin or is Jewish in religion. It examines how they reinforce these ideologies over people (willing or unwilling) by means of violence, political, social and economic manipulation and how evidence of such violence occurred from killings and riots made during the early establishment of the group in the 1960s, and the prevalent occurrence of crime happened during the 1990s.
From the Paper
"Their primary means of distinguishing their group from the others (apart from their physical appearance, of course) is identification through the Aryan Brotherhood tattoo, since its main origins came from the prison. It was said that any individual who is not a member of this group, and is found the members of AB would immediately subject sporting the said AB tattoo to murder. The Aryan Brotherhood Gang has increased alliance with other white supremacist groups, which includes the Aryan Nations, National Alliance, American Nazi Party, Nazi Low Riders, and Dirty White Boys."

Abstract
This paper explains that the post-colonial culture of India, rampant with the demonstration of historical superiority of the British culture, includes the representation of the ancient history of the Indian region as dominated by a fictitious Aryan race that overthrew the Indus Valley people. The author points out that this myth is a clear demonstration of the attempt to bolster the idea of superiority, and therefore, permit the dominance over the Indian population during the colonial occupation. The paper relates that the myth itself can be recounted through "legitimate" literature of the early and mid 20th century, the Sanhita ("collection") of the "Rig-Veda", a purely lyrical assortment of songs, which the Hindus brought with them from their ancient homes on the banks of the Indus.
From the Paper
"The results of such a rethinking and rewriting of history are, as of yet, unknown; but the cultural identity of the Indian people will clearly be redefined by the new view of the events of the disappearance of the Indus Valley people. One of the most prominent British historians of the colonial and early post colonial period demonstrates the idea that there is little evidence of a real Aryan conquest. "Of the effects of the Aryan settlements in India itself in the earliest period, we have no real evidence beyond certain scattered allusions in Vedic literature, and some faint local traditions." "

Abstract
This paper studies the magnitude of Western influence on the shape of human culture. The paper begins with the question of Aryan influence, with the author attempting to define the term Aryan. He rejects the Nazi identification of Aryan, choosing instead to define it broadly as peoples whose languages are derived from the Indo-European linguistic group. Even more broadly, the author equates Aryan with Western. Then the paper studies the influences of the Aryan -- aka the West -- on human culture. While the author finds the impact of Western ideas, philosophy and invention to be obviously great, he says that human culture is too broad to credit it all to the West. He points to writing, toolmaking, organized religion and political organization, urbanization, and monumental architecture, all of which derived from non-Aryan cultures.
From the Paper
"Even if the wide-ranging influence of the Indo-Europeans is recognized, the cultures identified with them are not purely Indo-European, but were themselves influenced by pre-Indo-European cultures. For example, The Indo-Europeans in Persia were greatly influenced by the ancient Semitic cultures of Mesopotamia and Anatolia. Likewise, aspects of the more-ancient culture of Dravidian India were incorporated into the dominant Indo-European culture of the invaders from the north. So it is wrong to think that speakers of Indo-European languages can be credited with creating all of human culture."

Abstract
This paper discusses the origins of the Aryan Brotherhood in U.S. prisons, who are they, what they stand for, how the gangs are structured and their political views. The paper also discusses membership, but the focus is placed on the lifestyle and behaviors of the Aryan Brotherhood in the prisons. Special emphasis considers how such a small prison gang is able to maintain such significant control.
From the Paper
"A recent federal indictment against the Aryan Brotherhood--one of the most terrifying and powerful prison gangs in the United States--charged them with 32 ordered killings over the course of 23 years both in and out of prisons. They have had a 50% success rate (Duersten, 2005). Of course, those are just the 32 hits that federal prosecutors think that they can make stick. The Aryan Brotherhood has a long and vicious history of violence in America's prisons. Given that new members are only admitted after they have killed someone, it is very likely that the prison gang has more than just 16 successful killings to its name."

From the Paper
"In 5000 BCE the Nomadic Indo-Aryan tribesmen known as the Praziks were a tribal society. The Praziks were one branch of Caucasians who probably spoke a Proto-Indo-European dialect of the Indo-Aryan language. The Taklamakanians whom I believe to have been the descendants of the Praziks began to intermarry and exchange cultural ties with north central Mongoloid or Asian peoples just prier to the Hsia dynasty, 2500BCE-1500BCE. The cultural exchange between the early Mongoloid peoples of Shing-jiang with Koreans, and Han Chinese, altered the religious beliefs of both groups each respectively. The shamanistic beliefs utilized by the Tucharian's were the root of shamanistic beliefs, which later spread throughout northern china and its neighboring countries. "

From the Paper
"Roughly from around 5000BCE the Nomadic Indo-Aryan tribesmen known as the Praziks were just beginning to build the society which would later leave it's mark on almost every part of the Russian and central Asia steppe lands, Europe and East Asia. Praziks were one branch of Caucasians who probably spoke a Proto-European dialect of the Aryan language, from the early Neolithic period and throughout most of the bronze age however from the end of the bronze age and into the early iron age the Taklamakanian descendants of the Praziks began to mix with north central Asian peoples (around the beginning of the Hsia dynasty, roughly 2,000 to 1,300 BCE)."
