Swing Island
Author: R. Bennett-Woods
Publisher: R. Bennett-Woods
ISBN: 1419639498
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Swing Island Book I - Power to Survive, is about a new hero, Orehon Retnu and his personal Power. , It's about the interconnection and interaction of everyone's power and how each person's power can change the world. Orehon's story unfolds in the tree top forest of Teapottum, a truly amazing place with seven-hundred foot tall trees. The trees have massive trunks and branches so tightly intertwined that, if someone were to cut one down, it wouldn't fall because neighboring trees would hold it up. Although convoluted, and at all times precarious, the interconnecting network of branches makes natural walkways between the trees. Orehon, unlike almost everyone else, much prefers bypassing the twisting pathways in favor of swinging on vines directly from tree to tree, and there always seems to be a vine just right for getting Orehon where he wants to go. Growing up as a nomadic hunter, Orehon knows the ways of the forest, but not the ways of adults and their politics. Book I, by Richard Bennett-Woods, introduces us to Orehon, a boy who is plunged into a dangerous and confusing new world where he must find his personal power without losing his identity.

Mandan Social and Ceremonial Organization
Author: Alfred W. Bowers
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803262249
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
Generations before the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery wintered in the northern Plains, the Mandan Indians farmed along the banks of rivers. The traditional world of the Mandans comes vividly to life in this classic account by anthropologist Alfred W. Bowers. Based on years of research and conversations with Crows Heart and ten other Mandan men and women, Bowers offers an engaging and detailed reconstruction of their way of life in earlier times. Featured here are overviews of how their households function, the makeup of their clan and moiety systems and kinship network, and a valuable look at the entire Mandan life cycle, from birth and naming through adulthood, marriage, and death. Mandan Social and Ceremonial Organization also includes descriptions and analyses of Mandan ceremonies, legends, and religious beliefs, including origin myths, the Okipa Ceremony, sacred bundles, Corn ceremonies, the Eagle-Trapping Ceremony, Catfish-Trapping Ceremony, and the Adoption Pipe Ceremony. Many of these practices and beliefs remain vital and relevant for Mandans today. A comprehensive look at the legacy and traditional roots of present-day Mandan culture, Mandan Social and Ceremonial Organization is a classic ethnography of an enduring North American Native community.
