Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Explanatory Element in the Folk-Tales of the North-American Indians From this table it is clear, that, in twenty-six mythologies, the total number of tales explaining the heavenly bodies and meteorological and hydrographic phenomena is 138, while the total number referring to earthly or local matters is 1053. In other words, conclusions based on twenty-six separate mythologies quite bear out those based on Eskimo alone. The total number Of celestial explanations is only one-eighth of the total number Of terrestrial explanations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Myths of the North American Indians It is, indeed, surprising how vague a picture the North American Indian presents to the minds Of most people in Europe when all that recent anthropological research has done on the subject is taken into account. As a matter of fact, few books have been published in England which furnish more than the scantiest details concerning the Red Race, and these are in general scarce, and, when obtained, Of doubtful scientific value.

Book Synopsis Oneida Iroquois Folklore, Myth, and History by : Anthony Wonderley
Download or read book Oneida Iroquois Folklore, Myth, and History written by Anthony Wonderley and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2024-11-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first major book to explore uniquely Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), and specifically Oneida, components in the Native American oral narrative as it existed around 1900. Drawn largely from early twentieth-century journals by non-Indigenous scholar Hope Emily Allen, much of which was published in Oneida Iroquois Folklore, Myth, and History for the first time. Even as he studies time-honored themes and such stories as the Haudenosaunee account of creation, Anthony Wonderley breaks new ground examining links between legend, history, and everyday life. He pointedly questions how oral traditions are born and develop. Uncovering tales told over the course of 400 years, Wonderley further defines and considers endurance and sequence in oral narratives.. Finally, possible links between Oneida folklore and material culture are explored in discussions of craft works and archaeological artifacts of cultural and symbolic importance. Arguably the most complete study of its kind, the book will appeal to a wide range of professional disciplines from anthropology, history, and folklore to religion and Native American studies.

Book Synopsis Folk-lore and Legends by : Anonymous
Download or read book Folk-lore and Legends written by Anonymous and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Folk-Lore and Legends: North American Indian is a classic collection of Native American folklore stories. It might have been expected that the Indians of North America would have many Folklore tales to tell, and in this volume I have endeavoured to present such of them as seemed to me to best illustrate the primitive character and beliefs of the people. The belief, and the language in which it is clothed, are often very beautiful. Fantastic imagination, magnanimity, moral sentiment, tender feeling, and humour are discovered in a degree which may astonish many who have been apt to imagine that advanced civilisation has much to do with the possession of such qualities. I know of nothing that throws so much light upon Indian character as their Folk-tales.
Download or read book Reading the Fire written by Jarold Ramsey and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading the Fire engages America’s “first literatures,” traditional Native American tales and legends, as literary art and part of our collective imaginative heritage. This revised edition of a book first published to critical acclaim in 1983 includes four new essays. Drawing on ethnographic data and regional folklore, Jarold Ramsey moves from origin and trickster narratives and Indian ceremonial texts, into interpretations of stories from the Nez Perce, Clackamas Chinook, Coos, Wasco, and Tillamook repertories, concluding with a set of essays on the neglected subject of Native literary responses to contact with Euroamericans. In his finely worked, erudite analyses, he mediates between an author-centered, print-based narrative tradition and one that is oral, anonymous, and tribal, adducing parallels between Native texts and works by Shakespeare, Yeats, Beckett, and Faulkner.
