  • Pages : 354 pages

Download or read book A Totem Pole History written by Pauline R. Hillaire and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Hillaire (Lummi, 1894–1967) is recognized as one of the great Coast Salish artists, carvers, and tradition-bearers of the twentieth century. In A Totem Pole History, his daughter Pauline Hillaire, Scälla–Of the Killer Whale, who is herself a well-known cultural historian and conservator, tells the story of her father’s life and the traditional and contemporary Lummi narratives that influenced his work. A Totem Pole History contains seventy-six photographs, including Joe’s most significant totem poles, many of which Pauline watched him carve. She conveys with great insight the stories, teachings, and history expressed by her father’s totem poles. Eight contributors provide essays on Coast Salish art and carving, adding to the author’s portrayal of Joe’s philosophy of art in Salish life, particularly in the context of twentieth century intercultural relations. This engaging volume provides an historical record to encourage Native artists and brings the work of a respected Salish carver to the attention of a broader audience.

Book Totem and Taboo

    Book Details:
  • Author : Sigmund Freud
  • Publisher : Vintage
  • Release : 2012-01-04
  • ISBN : 0307813487
  • Pages : 225 pages

Download or read book Totem and Taboo written by Sigmund Freud and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-01-04 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this brilliant exploratory attempt (written in 1912–1913) to extend the analysis of the individual psyche to society and culture, Freud laid the lines for much of his later thought, and made a major contribution to the psychology of religion. Primitive societies and the individual, he found, mutually illuminate each other, and the psychology of primitive races bears marked resemblances to the psychology of neurotics. Basing his investigations on the findings of the anthropologists, Freud came to the conclusion that totemism and its accompanying restriction of exogamy derive from the savage’s dread of incest, and that taboo customs parallel closely the symptoms of compulsion neurosis. The killing of the “primal father” and the consequent sense of guilt are seen as determining events both in the mistry tribal pre-history of mankind, and in the suppressed wishes of individual men. Both toteism and taboo are thus held to have their roots in the Oedipus complex, which lies at the basis of all neurosis, and, as Freud argues, is also the origin of religion, ethics, society, and art.

The students wrote their own story, focusing on the importance of sequencing, and also drew and colored character faces that were attached to cardboard tubes to create their own totem poles. Students then typed their stories learning to use basic keyboarding skills. Teachers and students had a great time bringing you these wonderful tales.

  • Author : Emily L. Moore
  • Publisher : University of Washington Press
  • Release : 2018-11-20
  • ISBN : 0295743948
  • Pages : 286 pages

Download or read book Proud Raven Panting Wolf written by Emily L. Moore and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2018-11-20 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among Southeast Alaska’s best-known tourist attractions are its totem parks, showcases for monumental wood sculptures by Tlingit and Haida artists. Although the art form is centuries old, the parks date back only to the waning years of the Great Depression, when the US government reversed its policy of suppressing Native practices and began to pay Tlingit and Haida communities to restore older totem poles and move them from ancestral villages into parks designed for tourists. Dramatically altering the patronage and display of historic Tlingit and Haida crests, this New Deal restoration project had two key aims: to provide economic aid to Native people during the Depression and to recast their traditional art as part of America’s heritage. Less evident is why Haida and Tlingit people agreed to lend their crest monuments to tourist attractions at a time when they were battling the US Forest Service for control of their traditional lands and resources. Drawing on interviews and government records, as well as on the histories represented by the totem poles themselves, Emily Moore shows how Tlingit and Haida leaders were able to channel the New Deal promotion of Native art as national art into an assertion of their cultural and political rights. Just as they had for centuries, the poles affirmed the ancestral ties of Haida and Tlingit lineages to their lands.

Book Tales From the Totems of the Hidery

Download or read book Tales From the Totems of the Hidery written by James Deans and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From the Totems of the Hidery, Vol. 2 James Deans, the collector of these tales from the Hidery, is widely known as a geologist, ethnologist and anthropologist. He is a Scotchman by nativity, but he has lived for many years on the northwest coast of America., having been sent by the Hudson Bay Company, forty-five years ago, to Fort Victoria on the south end of Vancouver Island, which was the most remote of the trading posts of that company. Mr. Deans has made an intimate study of the natives of the northwest region, and he is probably the only man in the world who is able to translate their tales and interpret their totem marks and crests. In 1892 Mr. Deans prepared an anthropologic exhibit for the World's Fair, which consisted of one of the ancient native houses and its totem post, found at Skidegat, Queen Charlotte Island, and a reproduction of an entire village of the Haida in model form, with specimens of the utensils, implements, dress, etc., of the people. This exhibit may now be seen at the Field Columbian Museum in Chicago. As a guide to this collection, the present volume will be found of great value. In the appendix is reprinted from the American Antiquarian, a paper of Mr. Deans', describing the totem postsat the Fair. This publication makes the first authentic collection of Hidery tales in volume form. Mr. Deans has published other accounts of the people and versions of their stories in the American Antiquarian, whose files may be consulted by those interested. But the present volume contains practically all that has been published elsewhere. The references to the Antiquarian are hereby appended: How the Whullemooch Got Fire. Vol. VIII., p. 41; How the Mountain Sheep Originated. Vol. VIII., p. 115; Yicsack, or the Hat. Vol. VIII., p. 170; Haidah Land. Vol. IX., p. 238; Inside View of a Haidah Dwelling. Vol. IX., p. 309; The Worship of Priapus among the Indians of British Columbia. Vol. IX., p. 368; A Strange Way of Preserving peace amongst Neighbors. Vol. X., p. 42; The Raven in the Mythology of Northwest America. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
