Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations on the Intellectual Culture of the Caribou Eskimos While with these people I endeavoured especially to enter into their intellectual life and their religious notions, and in the following I shall describe the results of these studies. But if my statement is to some extent summary and the material is presented in somewhat raw form, it is because this tribe has already been dealt with so thoroughly by birket-smith that my contribution aims merely at revealing certain aspects of this people's intellectual culture which are not included in birket-smith's book. It is true that the Caribou Eskimos in these regions have formerly been visited by such prominent travellers as the Tyrrell brothers and by Hanbury, but as these expeditions had other objects than the study of the people, and particularly as none of them could speak Eskimo. The material we succeeded in procuring will in all essentials be new. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Early Ethnography in the American Arctic written by Kirsten Hastrup and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-29 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a portrait of early ethnographic work in the American Arctic, with a focus on understanding the mutual constitution of the Inuit and their early ethnographers. It draws mainly on a rich repository of written testimonies from the early twentieth century, the ‘great ethnographic period’ when new scholarly interest in the region took off. Supplementing the movements and observations of whalers, traders, and missionaries, the early chroniclers offered new knowledge of Inuit life. Although their descriptions of the Inuit bear the marks of their time, the texts have left a deep mark on later developments and contributed to a long-lasting view of human life in the Arctic. The chapters show the infiltration of lives and landscapes, of thoughts and materials, of Inuit and ethnographers. The book will be relevant to anthropologists as well as historians, geographers, and others with an interest the Arctic region and Indigenous studies.

Download or read book The Wisdom of Mental Illness written by Jez Hughes and published by Watkins Media Limited. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how the ancient path of shamanism can help us to understand the nature of mental illness, recasting psychological breakdown as a potentially transformational experience. What we label as pathological could actually be an initiation into a better relationship with ourselves and the world. Written for those who are experiencing or who have experienced mental illness, or whose loved ones are going through such episodes, or who are mental wellbeing practitioners, this is a guide to the potentially transformational experience of that which we label mental illness. It explores the ancient concept of the "shamanic sickness", whereby the prospective shaman underwent many years of mental distress as part of their initiation, and looks at what this can teach us about mental health. It argues that, in some cases, what we seek to medicate could actually be a calling to a path of service and healing. The book also explores our cultural biases around mental illness. What we define as pathological, many cultures see as a sign of being inspired and in touch with greater powers. It looks at our uneasy relationship with altered states of consciousness and how these might hold the key to healing many symptoms of mental illness. Finally it looks at how we, as species, have come out of balance in our relationship to nature and the devastating affect this is having on our mental health. By learning from ancient indigenous cultures who have remained in balance with the natural world, this book looks at solutions to heal this modern imbalance and find a way forward for the Earth and ourselves.
