Download or read book Dakota Women's Work written by Colette A. Hyman and published by Minnesota Historical Society Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ornately decorated objects created by Dakota women -- cradleboards, clothing, animal skin containers -- served more than a utilitarian function. They tell the story of colonization, genocide, and survival. Colette Hyman traces the changes in the lives of Dakota women, starting before the arrival of whites and covering the fur trade years, the years of treaties and shrinking lands, the brutal time of removal, starvation, and shattered families after 1862, and then the transition to reservation life, when missionaries and government agents worked to turn the Dakota into Christian farmers. The decorative work of Dakota women reflected all of this: native organic dyes and quillwork gave way to beading and needlework, items traditionally decorated for family gifts were also produced to sell to tourists and white collectors, work on cradleboards and animal skin bags shifted to the ornamenting of hymnals and the creation of star quilts.

Download or read book Kiowa Military Societies written by William C. Meadows and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-11-08 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warrior culture has long been an important facet of Plains Indian life. For Kiowa Indians, military societies have special significance. They serve not only to honor veterans and celebrate and publicize martial achievements but also to foster strong role models for younger tribal members. To this day, these societies serve to maintain traditional Kiowa values, culture, and ethnic identity. Previous scholarship has offered only glimpses of Kiowa military societies. William C. Meadows now provides a detailed account of the ritual structures, ceremonial composition, and historical development of each society: Rabbits, Mountain Sheep, Horses Headdresses, Black Legs, Skunkberry /Unafraid of Death, Scout Dogs, Kiowa Bone Strikers, and Omaha, as well as past and present women’s groups. Two dozen illustrations depict personages and ceremonies, and an appendix provides membership rosters from the late 1800s. The most comprehensive description ever published on Kiowa military societies, this work is unmatched by previous studies in its level of detail and depth of scholarship. It demonstrates the evolution of these groups within the larger context of American Indian history and anthropology, while documenting and preserving tribal traditions.

Download or read book The Appropriation of Native American Spirituality written by Suzanne Owen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-12-21 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native Americans and Canadians are largely romanticised or sidelined figures in modern society. Their spirituality has been appropriated on a relatively large scale by Europeans and non-Native Americans, with little concern for the diversity of Native American opinions. Suzanne Owen offers an insight into appropriation that will bring a new understanding and perspective to these debates. This important volume collects together these key debates from the last 25 years and sets them in context, analyses Native American objections to appropriations of their spirituality and examines 'New Age' practices based on Native American spirituality. The Appropriation of Native American Spirituality includes the findings of fieldwork among the Mi'Kmaq of Newfoundland on the sharing of ceremonies between Native Americans and First Nations, which highlights an aspect of the debate that has been under-researched in both anthropology and religious studies: that Native American discourses about the breaking of 'protocols', rules on the participation and performance of ceremonies, is at the heart of objections to the appropriation of Native American spirituality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EBook Bundle containing Books One to Three in the Crossroads Keeper series. Greek gods of myth and legend mingle with supernatural creatures of fantasy in this modern series filled with adventure, snarky humor, a smidge of romance, and new-found family ties. Hecate's Heir - Book One Alex discovers she is heir to a goddess's creation ... and the goddess needs her help to save it. When a Crossroads Keeper is murdered, Alex inherits a legacy in a supernatural world she never knew existed. A fireside chat with the goddess Hecate binds Alex to a Crossroads as its Keeper. Apparently, its a learn or die kind of job... Soon, nightmares powerful enough to kill plague her dreams and undead souls from the Underworld attack her Crossroads. Alex is forced to investigate the darkness threatening her Crossroads and her new supernatural community. Aided by her magical Familiar, Larry, a snarky, sassy pink-eared poodle, and Conor, a too-sexy Hellhound Barghest shifter, plus a quirky supernatural posse, Alex must bring the battle to the Underworld ... or risk divine chaos conquering all the realms. Persephone's Problem - Book Two A wayward goddess with a problem lover, a treacherous Fae prince, and a surprise visit from a trio of long-lost relatives nixes Alex's wish for a quiet life. Persephone knew her affair with the Fae prince wasn't a good idea, but she's a sucker for a handsome face and polite manners. When the prince demands she use her powerful divine magic to help him stage a royal coup, the goddess calls in a favor and dumps the brewing mess in Alex's lap. Before Alex can deal with Persephone's problem, the Fates descend on the Crossroads for a surprise visit with their newest niece. Alex soon learns that the magic she inherited from her divine grandfather, Chronos, is vastly more dangerous than anyone suspected ... even the gods. Alex must use every scrap of her abysmal diplomacy skills and new-found death magic to wrangle her crazy new relatives, referee Persephone's boyfriend problem, and prevent a bloody war for the Fae throne before it spills over into the Crossroads and endangers her heart family ... and everyone else in its path. Demeter's Dilemma - Book Three Alex is summoned to a dinner party with the gods on Mount Olympus. What could possibly go wrong? Just about everything... Busy juggling death magic training with the Fates, ignoring ominous texts from her estranged mother, and fighting with an over-protective Hellhound lover, Alex doesn't have time for socializing, but she can't really say no when a cranky cherub delivers Zeus's dinner invite. Before Alex can choose her dress for the divine dinner party, a goddess with a dilemma descends on the Crossroads, demanding that Alex skip the dinner party, as death is on the menu ... for both of them. The rebellion amongst the gods is heating up and an attack on the only Keeper alive who can help Alex learn the truth about her unique powers leaves Alex with no choice. She must rally her supernatural posse to take on an old enemy and save a new friend, but using her dangerous new death magic might just be the end of everything. Greek gods of myth and legend mingle with supernatural creatures of fantasy in this modern series filled with adventure, snarky humor, a smidge of romance, and new-found family ties.

Download or read book Archaeologies of Cosmoscapes in the Americas written by J. Grant Stauffer and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines how pre-Columbian societies in the Americas envisioned their cosmos and iteratively modeled it through the creation of particular objects and places. It emphasizes that American societies did this to materialize overarching models and templates for the shape and scope of the cosmos, the working definition of cosmoscape. Noting a tendency to gloss over the ways in which ancestral Americans envisioned the cosmos as intertwined and animated, the authors examine how cosmoscapes are manifested archaeologically, in the forms of objects and physically altered landscapes. This book’s chapters, therefore, offer case studies of cosmoscapes that present themselves as forms of architecture, portable artifacts, and transformed aspects of the natural world. In doing so, it emphasizes that the creation of cosmoscapes offered a means of reconciling peoples experiences of the world with their understandings of them.
