Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freemasonry has played a significant role in the history of Native Americans since the colonial era—a role whose extent and meaning are fully explored for the first time in this book. The overarching concern of Native American Freemasonry is with how Masonry met specific social and personal needs of Native Americans, a theme developed across three periods: the revolutionary era, the last third of the nineteenth century, and the years following the First World War. Joy Porter positions Freemasonry within its historical context, examining its social and political impact as a transatlantic phenomenon at the heart of the colonizing process. She then explores its meaning for many key Native leaders, for ethnic groups that sought to make connections through it, and for the bulk of its American membership—the white Anglo-Saxon Protestant middle class. Through research gleaned from archives in New York, Philadelphia, Oklahoma, California, and London, Porter shows how Freemasonry’s performance of ritual provided an accessible point of entry to Native Americans and how over time, Freemasonry became a significant avenue for the exchange and co-creation of cultural forms by Indians and non-Indians.

OJIBWA GRAND MEDICINE LODGE. rTHE following two chapters of this book will be devoted to a consideration of the Grand Medicine Lodge of the Ojibwa Indians. Many years ago a treaty was made with these Indians by the United States Government, by which they relinquished about 4,000,000 acres of land and moved to the Red Lake and White Earth Reservations, where they took lands in severalty, and, under the treaty, became citizens and lost their tribal government. The chief Mide priests were well aware of this momentous change and its consequences, and foreseeing that such a change of habits would follow among their people that they could no longer continue the ceremonies of the so-called "pagan rites," they were persuaded and became willing to impart them to Dr. W. J. Hoffman, in order that a complete description might be made and preserved for the future information of their descendants. Dr. Hoffman was the duly authorized representative of the Bureau of Ethnology of the government and performed his task with the greatest fidelity as his account in these pages will clearly show. It is barely possible that there are a few very old Indians who even at this late day try secretly to perform some of the old ceremonies, but beyond such feeble attempts, the ancient glory of the Midewiwin is now but a tradition. I have spread out on these pages practically most of the detail, although by no means all of it, for the reason that I am sure a more perfect picture of the forms and ceremonies practiced will show wherein the Redman and the paleface have followed trails which ever and anon do approach each other, not only in speaking, but in touching distance, as they travel onward toward the same goal. These things will bear out the deductions I have...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is an interesting exploration of aboriginal American lore, and its overlap with elements of Freemasonry. It is partially a romanticist work, positively comparing the pre-colonial American population with the incoming wave of European diaspora, indicating that the latter is no less "primitive" in some manners. The entire initiation system of four degrees into the "medicine lodge" (the term lodge being used as a Masonic comparison) is explored, through all of its initiatory rituals and practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Indian Freemasonry In the beginning God created heaven and earth. - Genesis. Remove not the ancient landmark which thy fathers have set. Solomon. Speculative masonry is so far interwoven with religion as to lay us under the strongest obligations to pay that rational homage to the Deity, which at once constitutes our duty and our happiness. It leads the contemplative to view with reverence and admiration the glorious works of creation and inspires them with the most exalted ideas of the perfection of the divine Creator. Samuel Cole. We also have a religion which was given to our forefathers and has been handed down from father to sou. We worship in that way. It teaches us to be thankful for all the favors we receive, to love one another and be united. - Red Jacket. It is more than probable that the diversified customs, institutions and religions of the several nations of the world are less dissimilar in their origin than is often imagined. The differences arose in the progress of time, the shifting scenes of climate, condition and event. But the original ideas of existence and the laws that pertain to all created things are pretty much the same among all the tribes of mankind. - Westropp, Ancient Symbol Worship.

Download or read book To Be Indian written by Joy Porter and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2023-08-04 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born on the Seneca Indian Reservation in New York State, Arthur Caswell Parker (1881-1955) was a prominent intellectual leader both within and outside tribal circles. Of mixed Iroquois, Seneca, and Anglican descent, Parker was also a controversial figure-recognized as an advocate for Native Americans but criticized for his assimilationist stance. In this exhaustively researched biography-the first book-length examination of Parker’s life and career-Joy Porter explores complex issues of Indian identity that are as relevant today as in Parker’s time. From childhood on, Parker learned from his well-connected family how to straddle both Indian and white worlds. His great-uncle, Ely S. Parker, was Commissioner of Indian Affairs under Ulysses S. Grant--the first Native American to hold the position. Influenced by family role models and a strong formal education, Parker, who became director of the Rochester Museum, was best known for his work as a "museologist" (a word he coined). Porter shows that although Parker achieved success within the dominant Euro-American culture, he was never entirely at ease with his role as assimilated Indian and voiced frustration at having "to play Indian to be Indian." In expressing this frustration, Parker articulated a challenging predicament for twentieth-century Indians: the need to negotiate imposed stereotypes, to find ways to transcend those stereotypes, and to assert an identity rooted in the present rather than in the past.
