Download or read book The Arapaho written by Alfred Louis Kroeber and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1983-01-01 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in three parts in 1902, 1904, and 1907, The Arapaho quickly established itself as a model of description of Indian culture. Its discussion of Arapaho dance andødesign provides one of the most thorough studies of Indian symbolism ever written. Alfred L. Kroeber was sent in 1899 to study the Southern Arapaho in western Indian Territory (present Oklahoma). In 1900 he lived in the camp of the Northern Arapaho in Wyoming, and in 1901 he visited the Gros Ventre, a related tribe, in Montana. He researched his subject at first hand, speaking with Arapaho men and women of all ages about their customs, beliefs, and ceremonies. The Arapaho touches upon nearly every imaginable facet of the Indians' culture. Careful attention is paid to ceremonies, games, religion and stories of the supernatural, tribal organization, kinship, decorative art and regalia, and the articles of everyday life: clothes, pottery, utensils, tens, and the all-important pipe.

Download or read book Wild Men written by Douglas Cazaux Sackman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-19 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Ishi, "the last wild Indian," came out of hiding in August 1911, he was quickly whisked away by train to San Francisco to meet Alfred Kroeber, one of the fathers of American anthropology. When Kroeber and Ishi came face to face, it was a momentous event, not only for each man but also for the cultures they represented. Each stood on the brink--one was in danger of losing something vital while the other was in danger of disappearing altogether. Ishi was a survivor, and he viewed the bright lights of the big city with a mixture of awe and bemusement. What surprised everyone is how handily he adapted himself to the modern city while maintaining his sense of self and his culture. Kroeber was professionally trained to document Ishi's culture and his civilization. What he didn't count on was how deeply working with the man would lead him to question his own profession and his civilization--how it would rekindle a wildness of his own. Although Ishi's story has been told before in film and fiction, Wild Men is the first book to focus on the depth of Ishi and Kroeber's friendship. Exploring what their intertwined stories tell us about Indian survival in modern America and about America's fascination with the wild, this text is an ideal supplement for courses on Native American history, the U.S. West, and the history of California.

Download or read book Ishi's Brain: In Search of Americas Last "Wild" Indian written by Orin Starn and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2005-06-17 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the mountains of California to a forgotten steel vat at the Smithsonian, this "eloquent and soul-searching book" (Lit) is "a compelling account of one of American anthropology's strangest, saddest chapters" (Archaeology). After the Yahi were massacred in the mid-nineteenth century, Ishi survived alone for decades in the mountains of northern California, wearing skins and hunting with bow and arrow. His capture in 1911 made him a national sensation; anthropologist Alfred Kroeber declared him the world's most "uncivilized" man and made Ishi a living exhibit in his museum. Thousands came to see the displaced Indian before his death, of tuberculosis. Ishi's Brain follows Orin Starn's gripping quest for the remains of the last of the Yahi.

Download or read book We Are Dancing for You written by Cutcha Risling Baldy and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I am here. You will never be alone. We are dancing for you.” So begins Cutcha Risling Baldy’s deeply personal account of the revitalization of the women’s coming-of-age ceremony for the Hoopa Valley Tribe. At the end of the twentieth century, the tribe’s Flower Dance had not been fully practiced for decades. The women of the tribe, recognizing the critical importance of the tradition, undertook its revitalization using the memories of elders and medicine women and details found in museum archives, anthropological records, and oral histories. Deeply rooted in Indigenous knowledge, Risling Baldy brings us the voices of people transformed by cultural revitalization, including the accounts of young women who have participated in the Flower Dance. Using a framework of Native feminisms, she locates this revival within a broad context of decolonizing praxis and considers how this renaissance of women’s coming-of-age ceremonies confounds ethnographic depictions of Native women; challenges anthropological theories about menstruation, gender, and coming-of-age; and addresses gender inequality and gender violence within Native communities.

Download or read book Checklist of Civilizations and Culture written by A. Kroeber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Checklist of Civilizations and Culture contains all known principal civilizations and cultures of the world, with such definition as is possible of their area and time, their subdivisions and periods, and a brief indication of their character. The terms civilization and culture are used inclusively as essential synonyms of varying emphasis. There is no special difference between how the two words are used. They denote somewhat distinguishable grades of degree of the same large scale processes.Civilization currently carries an overtone of high development of a society; culture has become a customary term of universal denotation, applicable alike to high or low products and heritages of societies. This component or segment of culture or civilization is denoted here as ""value culture"" by A. L. Kroeber. It includes all purely aesthetic and intellectual activity as well as an element in every religion, and includes some part of morals, though morality is directed also to personal conduct and action.Every human society has its culture, complex or simple. The word culture should denote all possible ideals, but for the larger and richer cultures the term civilization may be more appropriate. Kroeber argues that the problem of recognizing the world's cultures is essentially one of natural history and involves dealing with all phenomena and then building up their patterns or classes step by step. This classic volume is now available in paperback. No better teacher of general anthropology can be imagined than A. L. Kroeber.
