Book Synopsis The Origin Myth of Acoma Pueblo by : Edward Proctor Hunt
Download or read book The Origin Myth of Acoma Pueblo written by Edward Proctor Hunt and published by Penguin Classics. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hailed by many as the most accessible of all epic narratives recounting a classic Pueblo Indian story of creation, migration, and ultimate residence, this version of the Acoma Pueblo creation myth offers a unique window into Pueblo Indian cosmology and its dramatic, ancient history. It reveals how one premodern society answered key existential questions and formed its guiding social, religious, and economic customs. In 1928 it was narrated by Edward Proctor Hunt, a Pueblo Indian man from the mesa-top village of Acoma, New Mexico, to Smithsonian Institution scholars. In this new edition, Peter Nabokov renders this important document into clear sequence, adds excerpted material from the original storytelling sessions, and explains the creation and roles of such central myths in American Indian cultures." -- Back of cover.

Book excerpt: In 'A Study of Pueblo Architecture: Tusayan and Cibola', the Mindeleff brothers delve into the architectural practices of the Pueblo peoples, presenting a comprehensive examination that spans the intricate designs and cultural significance of these indigenous structures. This anthology combines detailed architectural analysis with anthropological insight, showcasing the diversity of Puebloan life and the sophisticated nature of their communal dwellings. Standing as a seminal work in the field of Native American studies, the collection is notable for its meticulous illustrations and descriptions of Puebloan architectural techniques, revealing the advanced understanding of space, functionality, and environment inherent in these ancient communities. Cosmos and Victor Mindeleff, working at the turn of the 20th century, were pioneers in the documentation of Native American architecture. Their efforts align with a broader movement in American anthropology to preserve and understand indigenous cultures. Together, they contribute significantly to our comprehension of Pueblo people, situating their work within a crucial period of American anthropology when the discipline was striving to position itself within both scientific and humanistic studies. Through their detailed observations and drawings, the Mindeleffs provide a window into the Pueblo world, offering invaluable insights into the social, cultural, and environmental aspects that influenced Pueblo architecture. This collection is essential reading for anyone interested in the convergence of architecture, anthropology, and American indigenous studies. 'A Study of Pueblo Architecture: Tusayan and Cibola' invites readers to explore the complexities of Puebloan structures and the societies that created them, highlighting the architectural achievements of indigenous peoples long before European contact. Through its scholarly approach and the unique perspectives of its authors, the anthology enriches our understanding and appreciation of Pueblo architecture, making it a pivotal text for students, researchers, and enthusiasts alike.
Book Synopsis Native American Architecture by : Peter Nabokov
Download or read book Native American Architecture written by Peter Nabokov and published by New York : Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many people, Native American architecture calls to mind the wigwam, tipi, iglu, and pueblo. Yet the richly diverse building traditions of Native Americans encompass much more, including specific structures for sleeping, working, worshipping, meditating, playing, dancing, lounging, giving birth, decision-making, cleansing, storing and preparing food, caring for animals, and honoring the dead. In effect, the architecture covers all facets of Indian life. The collaboration between an architect and an anthropologist, Native American Architecture presents the first book-length, fully illustrated exploration of North American Indian architecture to appear in over a century. Peter Nabokov and Robert Easton together examine the building traditions of the major tribes in nine regional areas of the continent from the huge plank-house villages of the Northwest Coast to the moundbuilder towns and temples of the Southeast, to the Navajo hogans and adobe pueblos of the Southwest. Going beyond a traditional survey of buildings, the book offers a broad, clear view into the Native American world, revealing a new perspective on the interaction between their buildings and culture. Looking at Native American architecture as more than buildings, villages, and camps, Nabokov and Easton also focus on their use of space, their environment, their social mores, and their religious beliefs. Each chapter concludes with an account of traditional Indian building practices undergoing a revival or in danger today. The volume also includes a wealth of historical photographs and drawings (including sixteen pages of color illustrations), architectural renderings, and specially prepared interpretive diagrams which decode the sacred cosmology of the principal house types.

Download or read book Earth Architecture written by Ronald Rael and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The ground we walk on and grow crops in also just happens to be the most widely used building material on the planet. Civilizations throughout time have used it to create stable warm low-impact structures. The world's first skyscrapers were built of mud brick. Paul Revere Chairman Mao and Ronald Reagan all lived in earth houses at various points in their lives and several of the buildings housing Donald Judd's priceless collection at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa Texas are made of mud brick." "While the vast legacy of traditional and vernacular earthen construction has been widely discussed, little attention has been paid to the contemporary tradition of earth architecture. Author Ronald Rael founder of Eartharchitecture.org provides a history of building with earth in the modern era focusing particularly on projects constructed in the last few decades that use rammed earth mud brick compressed earth cob and several other interesting techniques. Earth Architecture presents a selection of more than 40 projects that exemplify new creative uses of the oldest building material on the planet."--BOOK JACKET.

Excerpt: Acoma Pueblo (; Western Keresan: Aa'ku; Zuni: Hakukya; Navajo: Haak oh) is a Native American pueblo approximately sixty miles west of Albuquerque, New Mexico in the United States. Three villages make up Acoma Pueblo: Sky City (Old Acoma), Acomita, and McCartys. The Acoma Pueblo tribe is a federally recognized tribal entity. The historical land of Acoma Pueblo totaled roughly 5 million acres; now only 10% of this land is in the hands of the community. According the 2010 United States Census, 4,989 people identified as Acoma. The Acoma have continuously occupied the area for more than 800 years, making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the United States. Acoma tribal traditions estimate that they have lived in the village for more than two thousand years. The word "Acoma" is from the Acoma and Spanish word Acoma, or Acu, which means "the place that always was" or "People of the White Rock." "Pueblo" is Spanish for "village" or "town." Pueblo refers to both the people and the unique architecture of the Southwest. Some tribal elders assert that it means "a place that always was." The Acoma language falls in the Keresan language group. In Contemporary Acoma Pueblo culture, most people speak both Acoma and...
Book Synopsis Architecture and Town Planning in Colonial North America by : James D. Kornwolf
Download or read book Architecture and Town Planning in Colonial North America written by James D. Kornwolf and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incorporating more than 3,000 illustrations, Kornwolf's work conveys the full range of the colonial encounter with the continent's geography, from the high forms of architecture through formal landscape design and town planning. From these pages emerge the fine arts of environmental design, an understanding of the political and economic events that helped to determine settlement in North America, an appreciation of the various architectural and landscape forms that the settlers created, and an awareness of the diversity of the continent's geography and its peoples. Considering the humblest buildings along with the mansions of the wealthy and powerful, public buildings, forts, and churches, Kornwolf captures the true dynamism and diversity of colonial communities - their rivalries and frictions, their outlooks and attitudes - as they extended their hold on the land.
