Book excerpt: "Contributing linguists draw on their latest fieldwork and research, starting with a background chapter on the history of research on the Native languages of the Southeast. Eight chapters each provide an overview and grammatical sketch of a language, basing discussion on a narrative text presented at the beginning of the chapter. Special emphasis is given to both the fundamental grammatical characteristics of the language - its phonology, morphology, syntax, and various discourse features - and those sociolinguistic and cultural factors that affect its structure and use. Two additional chapters explore the various Muskogean languages (Creek, Alabama, Choctaw, Chickasaw), the only language family confined entirely to the Southeast.".

Download or read book Early Art of the Southeastern Indians written by Susan C. Power and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Art of the Southeastern Indians is a visual journey through time, highlighting some of the most skillfully created art in native North America. The remarkable objects described and pictured here, many in full color, reveal the hands of master artists who developed lapidary and weaving traditions, established centers for production of shell and copper objects, and created the first ceramics in North America. Presenting artifacts originating in the Archaic through the Mississippian periods--from thousands of years ago through A.D. 1600--Susan C. Power introduces us to an extraordinary assortment of ceremonial and functional objects, including pipes, vessels, figurines, and much more. Drawn from every corner of the Southeast--from Louisiana to the Ohio River valley, from Florida to Oklahoma--the pieces chronicle the emergence of new media and the mastery of new techniques as they offer clues to their creators’ widening awareness of their physical and spiritual worlds. The most complex works, writes Power, were linked to male (and sometimes female) leaders. Wearing bold ensembles consisting of symbolic colors, sacred media, and richly complex designs, the leaders controlled large ceremonial centers that were noteworthy in regional art history, such as Etowah, Georgia; Spiro, Oklahoma; Cahokia, Illinois; and Moundville, Alabama. Many objects were used locally; others circulated to distant locales. Power comments on the widening of artists’ subjects, starting with animals and insects, moving to humans, then culminating in supernatural combinations of both, and she discusses how a piece’s artistic “language” could function as a visual shorthand in local style and expression, yet embody an iconography of regional proportions. The remarkable achievements of these southeastern artists delight the senses and engage the mind while giving a brief glimpse into the rich, symbolic world of feathered serpents and winged beings.

Download or read book The American Indian in the Southeast written by John Franklin Phillips and published by Bluewater Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Franklin Phillips has spent a lifetime as an advocate for Indian people in the Southeastern United States. Prior to and after his retirement from the Methodist Church, Reverend Phillips dedicated his life to the study of, and service and ministry to Native people. He is a descendant of the Chickamauga Cherokee who settled in the Tennessee Valley of north central Alabama under the leadership of Chief Doublehead; his aboriginal heritage was the inspiration for his writing about the life, culture, and history of his Native ancestors. In his book "The American Indian in the Southeast," John Franklin Phillips shows his love for his Native people who stayed in the North Alabama area; he wrote from his heart about the struggles, trials, and tribulations his American Indian folks endured to stay in the land where their ancestors are buried and to remain in the land they loved. As other mixed blood Indian families, his Celtic Indian parents and grandparents denied their Native ancestry, but passed their compassion and love of their aboriginal heritage on to their children and grandchildren. As a remnant of the first people, John Franklin Phillips tells the story of his Native people from a personal and historical perspective.
