Book Source Material for the Social and Ceremonial Life of the Choctaw Indians

Download or read book Source Material for the Social and Ceremonial Life of the Choctaw Indians written by John R. Swanton and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2001-04-05 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long considered the undisputed authority on the Indians of the southern United States, anthropologist John Swanton published this history as the Smithsonian Institution's Bureau of American Ethnology (BAE) Bulletin 103 in 1931. Swanton's descriptions are drawn from earlier records—including those of DuPratz and Romans—and from Choctaw informants. His long association with the Choctaws is evident in the thorough detailing of their customs and way of life and in his sensitivity to the presentation of their native culture. Included are descriptions of such subjects as clans, division of labor between sexes, games, religion, war customs, and burial rites. The Choctaws were, in general, peaceful farmers living in Mississippi and southwestern Alabama until they were moved to Oklahoma in successive waves beginning in 1830, after the treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. This edition includes a new foreword by Kenneth Carleton placing Swanton's work in the context of his times. The continued value of Swanton's original research makes Source Material the most comprehensive book ever published on the Choctaw people.

  • Pages : 54 pages

Download or read book Drawing by Stealth written by Linda McNair Cohen and published by NewSouth Books. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative essay, the authors explore how John Trumbull, famed painter of the American Revolutionary War period, came to make sketches of five Creek Indian leaders in New York in 1790. By chance, Trumbull was painting George Washington’s portrait for the City of New York when a delegation of Creeks arrived to sign the Treaty of New York. Finding himself in the company of the Creeks, the artist seized the opportunity to draw them. While Drawing By Stealth tells the history of these iconic drawings of American Indians, it also provides details about the clothing and ornaments depicted and corrects a popular—but erroneous—theory that one of the images is of the leader of the Creek delegation to New York, Alexander McGillivray.

  • Author : Norman Gottwald
  • Publisher : A&C Black

  • ISBN : 0567549577

Download or read book Tribes of Yahweh written by Norman Gottwald and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1999-10-01 with total page 967 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A twentieth-anniversary reprint of the landmark book that launched the current explosion of social-scientific studies in the biblical field. It sets forth a cultural-material methodology for reconstructing the origins of ancient Israel and offers the hypothesis that Israel emerged as an indigenous social revolutionary peasant movement. In a new preface, written for this edition, Gottwald takes account of the 'sea change' in biblical studies since 1979 as he reviews the impact of his work on church and academy, assesses its merits and limitations, indicates his present thinking on the subject, and points toward future directions in the social-critical study of ancient Israel and the Hebrew Bible.
