Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fierce warriors and able statesmen, the Five Nations o£ the lroquois Confederacy were the acknowledged lords of the eastern woodlands of North America, Proud of their position, they loved singing only less than they exalted bravery and respected chiefship as attributes of superior men. Within the upper caste of ongwe'onwe, "men preeminently' they included only themselves: the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca tribes, less than 101000 souls who occupied a dozen villages along the trail leading across central New York from Schenectady to Rochester, When the Europeans arrived, the five tribes had banded themselves into a league of nations which they called "the completed longhouse,"' likening the member tribes to adjacent fireside families that lived as blood relatives beneath a single, extended roof. Their communal household had become a symbol for society.It was the woman who counted in Iroquois society. An old matron's house sheltered her children and her daughter's children, as well as those who had married in to form the joint household ; but the children of the matron's sons belonged to the families of their wives' mothers. The matron and the earth were "mothers"; women and the cropsmaize, beans, and squashes-were sisters, and the women of the household formed a work party that labored at planting, hoeing, and harvesting and wood gathering under the supervision of the matron.Therefore, to woman belonged the land, the village, the house and its furniture. and all the fruits of her horticulture and gathering ; even the venison which a man brought home was his wife's to distribute.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Iroquois Music and Dance: Ceremonial Arts of Two Seneca Longhouses In the longhouse, they are seated on wooden benches along the wall, but they are grouped according to their ancestral custom, with sexes and moieties separated. Singers occupy a plain wooden bench, but they beat ancient rhythms with instruments that for the most part are of traditional construction, and they sing melodies of um known antiquity. Feet tramp on wooden floors around two iron stoves, but they trace the patterns of rounds that were not brought overseas by the White invader. At this point I shall say no more about the structure of their ceremonialism and its social implications, but shall refer to past descriptions (morgan, 1901 Fenton, 1936, I shall introduce the chief artists and then proceed to the special problem - the songs and the dances, at their own value.

Book Synopsis Midwinter Rites of the Cayuga Long House by : Frank G. Speck
Download or read book Midwinter Rites of the Cayuga Long House written by Frank G. Speck and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2017-01-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his last years ethnohistorian Frank G. Speck turned to the study of Iroquois ceremonialism. This 1950 book investigates the religious rites of the Cayuga tribe, one of six in the Iroquois confederation that occupied upstate New York until the American Revolution. In the 1930s and the 1940s Frank Speck observed the Midwinter Ceremony, the Cayuga thanksgiving for the blessings of life and health, performed in long houses on the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario. Collaborating with Alexander General (Deskáheh), the noted Cayuga chief, Speck describes vividly the rites and dances giving thanks to all spiritual entities. Of special interest are the medicine societies that not only prescribed herbs but used powerfully evocative masks in treating the underlying causes of sickness.
Book Synopsis Conservatism among the Iroquois at the Six Nations Reserve by : Annemarie Anrod Shimony
Download or read book Conservatism among the Iroquois at the Six Nations Reserve written by Annemarie Anrod Shimony and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1994-07-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annemarie Anrod Shimony's classic work clearly shows the contemporary cultural and religious crises that face the Longhouse Iroquois at the Six Nations Reserve, Ontario. Shimony presents a lucid and eloquent account of the survival of the Native American tradition, which is struggling to maintain political and cultural autonomy in an ever-changing modern world. Based on original field work dating from 1953 to 1961, and supplemented by new material describing changes during the last thirty years, Shimony's work is once again the most comprehensive ethnography of the largest extant traditional Iroquoian community. Some of the material discussed includes the social organization, the system of hereditary chiefs, the beliefs and practices of the Longhouse religion, the events of the Iroquoian life cycle, and the extensive medicinal and witchcraft aspects of the culture. Additional areas of focus include the rituals of the agricultural calendar and Iroquois conceptions of death and burial rituals. As Elizabeth Tooker wrote in Indians of the Northeast, Shimony's monograph is, "next to Morgan's League, the most important general description of the Iroquois." With its new material added, Conservatism among the Iroquois is once again required reading for anyone interested in Native American culture.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge History of American Music by : David Nicholls
Download or read book The Cambridge History of American Music written by David Nicholls and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-11-19 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge History of American Music, first published in 1998, celebrates the richness of America's musical life. It was the first study of music in the United States to be written by a team of scholars. American music is an intricate tapestry of many cultures, and the History reveals this wide array of influences from Native, European, African, Asian, and other sources. The History begins with a survey of the music of Native Americans and then explores the social, historical, and cultural events of musical life in the period until 1900. Other contributors examine the growth and influence of popular musics, including film and stage music, jazz, rock, and immigrant, folk, and regional musics. The volume also includes valuable chapters on twentieth-century art music, including the experimental, serial, and tonal traditions.
Book Synopsis The Little Water Medicine Society of the Senecas by : William Nelson Fenton
Download or read book The Little Water Medicine Society of the Senecas written by William Nelson Fenton and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Seneca Iroquois Indians, song is a crucial means of renewing both medicine and heritage. Two or three times a year, the Little Water Medicine Society of western New York meets to renew the potency of its medicine bundles through singing. These bundles have been inherited from eighteenth century Iroquois war parties, handed down from generation to generation. In this long-awaited book, William N. Fenton describes the remarkable ceremonies of one of the least recorded but most significant medicine societies of the Iroquois Indians. Most of the Senecas who were members of the Little Water Society, or Society of Shamans, have passed away, and their knowledge of ceremonial healing and spiritual renewal is fading. Fenton has written this book to preserve knowledge of the ceremonies and songs for the Iroquois people and as a contribution to anthropology, folklore, ethnomusicology, and American Indian studies. In The Little Water Medicine Society of the Senecas, he presents his original 1933 fieldwork, along with details from the published and unpublished works of other researchers, to describe rituals, poetry, and songs drawn from his more than six decades of research among the Six Nations.
