Inhaltsangabe
Robin Ridington and Dennis Hastings ingeniously adopt the conventions of Omaha oral narratives to tell the story and convey the significance of the Sacred Pole. Portions of classic anthropological texts (particularly Fletcher and La Flesche’s The Omaha Tribe), Omaha narratives, and other historical and contemporary accounts are repeated—each time in a different, more enlightening context—in a circle of stories seamlessly woven around Umon’hon’ti. The result is an innovative account that effortlessly glides between past and present. This unique blend of Omaha poetics, ethnography, and ethnohistory is a significant contribution to our understanding of the religious life of Native Americans.

For centuries, the Sacred Pole stood at the center of much of Omaha religious and secular life, a symbol of tribal unity. In 1888, under pressure from the US government to abandon their beliefs and adopt christianity, the tribe relinquished the pole to Harvard's Peabody Museum, where it remained for a century until, after an extraordinary and sustained campaign by the Omahas and others, it was finally returned in 1989. The authors ingeniously adopt the conventions of Omaha oral narratives to tell the story and significance of the Sacred Pole. Portions of classic anthropological texts, Omaha narratives, and other historical and contemporary accounts are repeated in a circle of stories seamlessly woven around Umon'hon'ti. The result is an innovative account that effortlessly glides between past and present. The distinct personality of Umon'hon'ti emerges and becomes the principal actor in the drama of its history and return. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 008374
