The Iroquois Book of Rites

The Iroquois Book of Rites

University of Toronto Press
1963
pokkari
The Iroquois Book of Rites, the most noteworthy of Hale's studies of the Iroquois, was translated and edited by him from two Indian manuscripts found at Grand River, with the help of informants and interpreters. The various parts of the Book of Rites throw valuable light on the political and social life, as well as the character and capacity, of the Iroquois. A long introduction by Hale contains essays on the League, on the Book of Rites, on the Condoling Council, and on the historical traditions, character, policy and language of the Iroquois. Hale's important book has long been out of print and in demand. It is reprinted here with a valuable introduction on Hale and the significance of his work by William N. Fenton of the New York State Museum and Science Service, University of the State of New York.

Pre-Columbian Burial Rites: Mortuary Practice Among Prehistoric North Americans: Southwest Region

Pre-Columbian Burial Rites: Mortuary Practice Among Prehistoric North Americans: Southwest Region

Volume I of the PRE-COLUMBIAN BURIAL RITES series consists of a comprehensive examination and discussion of mortuary behaviors by the prehistoric inhabitants of the Southwest Region of North America. The study of burial practice is useful to the discussion of the complexities of population traits and characteristics because on a societal scale, similarity or differentiation of patterning in the disposal of the dead has been considered one of the basic identifying "signatures" used to distinguish cultural populations. Because burial of the dead is a ritually-oriented, ideologically-grounded rite of passage, its very nature is conservative, steeped in tradition and resistant to change. It is possible and vital, therefore, to identify repetitive characteristics of burial customs. For this purpose a mortuary sample of 17,587 burials from 385 mortuary sites was utilized to address the range of variability and consistency within the four subdivisions of the Southwest Region that includes the Hohokam, Mogollon, Ancestral Puebloan, and Northern Rio Grande populations.
