Book Synopsis The Montana Cree by : Verne Dusenberry
Download or read book The Montana Cree written by Verne Dusenberry and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Montana Cree is a study of religion as a sustaining force in American Indian life. On the small Rocky Boy reservation in northern Montana, the Cree Indians provide an example of how a people transplanted and persecuted throughout their history can maintain and develop a tribal identity and unity through the continuance of their religious values. As the adopted son of Mose Michelle, a hereditary Pend O’Reille chief, Verne Dusenberry moved easily within Indian circles as an accepted participant-observer in many religious ceremonies. His ethnographic study provides detailed descriptions of ceremonies - the Shaking Tent, Ghost Dance, and Sun Dance - which are seldom accurately described elsewhere.

Book Synopsis Religion and Mental Health by : John F. Schumaker
Download or read book Religion and Mental Health written by John F. Schumaker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992-10-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an interdisciplinary collection of previously unpublished papers on the controversial relationship between religious behavior and mental health. Schumaker has assembled a distinguished international roster of contributors--sociologists and anthropologists as well as psychiatrists and psychologists of religion--representing a wide range of opinions concerning the mental health implications of religious belief and practice. Taken together, the papers provide a comprehensive overview of theory and research in the field. Included are papers on the interaction of religion and self-esteem, life meaning and well-being, sexual and marital adjustment, anxiety, depression, suicide, psychoticism, rationality, self-actualization, and various patterns of anti-social behavior. Religion is also dealt with in relation to mental health of women, the elderly, and children. Contributions dealing with mental health in non-Western religious groups add an important cross-cultural dimension to the volume.

Book excerpt: Plains Indian biographic rock art can be “read” by those knowledgeable in its lexicon. Presented is a lexicon of imagery, conventions, and symbols used by Plains Indians to communicate their warfare and social narratives. The reader is introduced to Plains Indian “warrior” art in all media, biographic art as picture writing is explained, and the lexicon is described, providing a pictographic “dictionary,” and explains conventions and connotations. Finally, it illustrates four key examples of how these narratives are read by the observer. Familiarity with the lexicon will enable interested scholars and laypersons to understand what are otherwise enigmatic rock art drawings found from Calgary, Alberta through ten U.S. states, and into the Mexican state of Coahuila.

Book Synopsis The Child in Primitive Society by : Nathan Miller
Download or read book The Child in Primitive Society written by Nathan Miller and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-31 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1928, The Child in Primitive Society examines the place of the child in the history of the less developed societies reaching back as close to social “origins” as is possible. The purpose here is not to enquire into the inner processes of learning, habit formation and acculturation in the child himself, but our aim is rather to examine the social milieu as it impinges upon the child- in other words, the customs and institutions which emerge as the educational systems of society later in the course of development. The purpose is to delineate the gradual trimming or fashioning of a child’s social existence by these social forces. The book discusses various important themes such as primitive notions of the child, the burden of children, the desire for children, infancy and childhood, primitive education, and inheritance and succession. This book is an important historical reference for scholars and researchers of sociology and education.
Book Synopsis Preserving the Sacred by : Michael Angel
Download or read book Preserving the Sacred written by Michael Angel and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2002-10-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Midewiwin is the traditional religious belief system central to the world view of Ojibwa in Canada and the US. It is a highly complex and rich series of sacred teachings and narratives whose preservation enabled the Ojibwa to withstand severe challenges to their entire social fabric throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. It remains an important living and spiritual tradition for many Aboriginal people today.The rituals of the Midewiwin were observed by many 19th century Euro-Americans, most of whom approached these ceremonies with hostility and suspicion. As a result, although there were many accounts of the Midewiwin published in the 19th century, they were often riddled with misinterpretations and inaccuracies.Historian Michael Angel compares the early texts written about the Midewiwin, and identifies major, common misconceptions in these accounts. In his explanation of the historical role played by the Midewiwin, he provides alternative viewpoints and explanations of the significance of the ceremonies, while respecting the sacred and symbolic nature of the Midewiwin rituals, songs, and scrolls.
