PDF-(BOOK)-The Four Hills of Life: Northern Arapaho Knowledge and Life Movement (Studies in

For many generations the Northern Arapaho people thrived over a vast area of the North American Plains and Rocky Mountains For more than a century they have lived on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming The reservation the fourth largest in the country is surrounded by vast rural lands and has been largely ignored by outsiders As a result the Northern Arapahos have been in some ways more isolated from mainstream American society than most Native groups In The Four Hills of Life Jeffrey D Anderson masterfully draws together many different aspects of the Northern Arapahos worldmyth language art ritual identity and historyto offer a compelling picture of a culture that has endured and changed over time Arapaho culture is seen dynamically through the ways that members of the community in the past and present experience their unique world in everyday life Anderson shows that Northern Arapaho unity and identity from the nineteenth century through today are derived less from political centralization than from a shared system of ritual practices The heart of this system is a complex of rituals called the beyoowuu all the lodges which includes the Offerings Lodge now more commonly known as the Sun Dancea ritual still central to Northern Arapaho life According to Anderson the beyoowuu and other life transition ceremonies work together to mold time and experience for the Arapahos a life movement that also helps create social identities and transmit vital cultural knowledge Anderson also offers an indepth study of the problems that EuroAmerican society continues to impose on reservation life and the empowered responses of the Northern Arapahos to these problems.

This volume provides a basic reference work on Indians and Arctic peoples as a continuing element in a changing and sometimes difficult environment responding to the social forces around them, making such accommodations as circumstances require, but remaining identifiably Indian in a contemporary society. For centuries, a persistent and important component of Lakota religious life has been the Inipi, the ritual of the sweat lodge. The sweat lodge has changed little in appearance since its first recorded description in the late seventeenth century. The ritual itself consists of songs, prayers, and other actions conducted in a tightly enclosed, dark, and extremely hot environment. Participants who “sweat” together experience moral strengthening, physical healing, and the renewal of social and cultural bonds. Today, the sweat lodge ritual continues to be a vital part of Lakota religion. It has also been open to use, often controversial, by non-Indians. The ritual has recently become popular among Lakotas recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. This study is the first in-depth look at the history and significance of the Lakota sweat lodge. Bringing together data culled from historical sources and fieldwork on Pine Ridge Reservation, Raymond A. Bucko provides a detailed discussion of continuity and changes in the “sweat” ritual over time. He offers convincing explanations for the longevity of the ceremony and its continuing popularity. This monograph marks the first presentation of a detailed Classic period ceramic chronology for central and southern Veracruz, the first detailed study of a Gulf Coast pottery production locale, and the first sourcing-distribution study of a Gulf Coast pottery complex.
