Book Synopsis Dancing With Our Ancestors by : Sara Florence Davidson
Download or read book Dancing With Our Ancestors written by Sara Florence Davidson and published by Portage & Main Press. This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this tender picture book, Sara Florence Davidson transports readers to the excitement of a potlatch in Hydaburg, Alaska—her last memory of dancing with her late brother. It feels like my brother and I have always known how to sing the songs and dance the dances of our Haida ancestors. Unlike our father, we were born after the laws that banned our cultural practices were changed. The potlatch ban did not exist during our time, so we grew up dancing and singing side by side. The invitations have been sent. The food has been prepared. The decorations have been hung. And now the day of the potlatch has finally arrived! Guests from all over come to witness this bittersweet but joyful celebration of Haida culture and community. Written by the creators of Potlatch as Pedagogy, this book brings the Sk'ad'a Principles to life through the art of Janine Gibbons.

Book Synopsis We Are Dancing for You by : Cutcha Risling Baldy
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.

Widely interdisciplinary in nature and written by women dancers from around the world, they illustrate a rich array of dance practices, cultures, and disciplines and show how this expressive therapy can be both empowering and exhilarating.

Both personal and professional, the stories weave a vivid tapestry of lived experiences and insights, balance, and a community healed by dance.
Book Synopsis A History of Dancing (Classic Reprint) by : Reginald St Johnston
Download or read book A History of Dancing (Classic Reprint) written by Reginald St Johnston and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Dancing Of late years there has been a tendency, not only on the stage, but also in the ball-rooms, to wander from the polished graces of our ancestors, and to introduce, in the former, certain styles of dancing that are far from graceful, such as cake-walks, high-kicking, and other extravagant forms which can only debase the art; and in the latter, a wild and irresponsible romping, which has made such expres sions as Kitchen Lancers a bye-word. In this book I have endeavoured to show from what beautiful origins many of our dances have sprung, and how the great dancers of the past were wont to associate with their dances the poetry and noble thoughts that were the theme round which their skill revolved. In tracing the history of the subject I have found an almost entirely new field to work upon, for with the exception of two books, one by a Frenchman.

Book Synopsis The People Have Never Stopped Dancing by : Jacqueline Shea Murphy
Download or read book The People Have Never Stopped Dancing written by Jacqueline Shea Murphy and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past thirty years, Native American dance has emerged as a visible force on concert stages throughout North America. In this first major study of contemporary Native American dance, Jacqueline Shea Murphy shows how these performances are at once diverse and connected by common influences. Demonstrating the complex relationship between Native and modern dance choreography, Shea Murphy delves first into U.S. and Canadian federal policies toward Native performance from the late nineteenth through the early twentieth centuries, revealing the ways in which government sought to curtail authentic ceremonial dancing while actually encouraging staged spectacles, such as those in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West shows. She then engages the innovative work of Ted Shawn, Lester Horton, and Martha Graham, highlighting the influence of Native American dance on modern dance in the twentieth century. Shea Murphy moves on to discuss contemporary concert dance initiatives, including Canada’s Aboriginal Dance Program and the American Indian Dance Theatre. Illustrating how Native dance enacts, rather than represents, cultural connections to land, ancestors, and animals, as well as spiritual and political concerns, Shea Murphy challenges stereotypes about American Indian dance and offers new ways of recognizing the agency of bodies on stage. Jacqueline Shea Murphy is associate professor of dance studies at the University of California, Riverside, and coeditor of Bodies of the Text: Dance as Theory, Literature as Dance.

Book excerpt: Bounty of Beauty is about a wealthy man called Mackuel who believes that his enormous herd of cattle was enough for his respect and to get anything he wants from the people. He always wants any occasion to be witnessed by his son Nguac. He said one day that the upcoming celebration of the end of the year at Jokpel cattle camp would be meaningless without the attendance of his son Nguac. He believes that no one else in the entire community has several, lavish, and precious bulls like his son. He also thought that no one also can sing songs of praises of those precious bulls compared to his son Nguac and that he didn’t want him not to attend this colorful ceremony to dishearten the people that were ready to listen to his endearing songs. He said, the fine rhythms of competitions will only be raised by his son’s presence there. MAckuel was surprised to see a son of a fisherman challenging his son Nguac in a marriage competition.

Book Synopsis A Decolonial Philosophy of Indigenous Colombia by : Juan Alejandro Chindoy Chindoy
Download or read book A Decolonial Philosophy of Indigenous Colombia written by Juan Alejandro Chindoy Chindoy and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophically addressing three fundamental aspects of the Kamëntšá, an indigenous culture located in the southwest of Colombia, this book is an investigation of how a native culture creates meaning. Time, beauty and spirit are key philosophical experiences within the Kamëntšá culture which should be interpreted both as constituting and as constituted symbols because of their historicity and actuality and their potential power of transformation. The book addresses these living symbols that take hold of the past but whose significance goes beyond their antiquity through the traditions of storytelling and dance, ritual, healing and ceremony as well as the fraught political histories of colonialism and the ownership of the land. The author, raised within Kamëntšá culture, weaves personal experience with philosophical insights and significance of the Kamentsa culture, presented through its own frameworks and narratives. The philosophical dimensions of Kamentsa culture are articulated and contextualized within a legacy of colonial domination by long-term Spanish and Catholic rule that enacts the necessary separation of Kamentsa ideas from their representations through Catholic hermeneutic approaches. However, the book also embraces intercultural philosophical engagement, as the methodological approach is formed partly through some modern and contemporary Western thinkers as well as indigenous writers and figures like Carlos Tamabioy and N. Scott Momaday.
