![]() ![]() Author: La Flesche Francis Publisher: Mauna Kea Edizioni Nella sua prima edizione in italiano, The Middle Five, 'I Cinque di Mezzo', è considerato un classico della letteratura dei Nativi Americani, uno dei libri più apprezzati come autentica fonte di informazione sulla cultura indiana, e che possono essere raccomandati a tutti i lettori anche giovani, come utile correttivo all'immagine spesso distorta della vita indiana che si vede nei film, nei fumetti e in televisione. È un racconto semplice e toccante di giovani ragazzi indiani in una severa scuola residenziale indiana, a metà strada tra due culture, riluttanti ad abbandonare le abitudini dei loro padri, e perplessi e a disagio nel loro nuovo ruolo di 'uomini bianchi per finta'. Si tratta del resoconto della vita di Francis La Flesche come studente in una scuola missionaria presbiteriana nel nord-est del Nebraska, all'incirca al tempo della Guerra Civile. € 18,00
Scontato: € 17,10

![]() ![]() Author: Bailey Garrick (EDT), LA Flesche Francis (TRN) Publisher: Univ of New Mexico Pr The forty-nine traditional Osage narratives presented here, collected in Oklahoma between 1910 and 1923 for the Bureau of American Ethnology, have never before been assembled in one book. What makes these stories especially important is that they were collected in their original language, Osage, by a scholar who was a native speaker of a mutually intelligible language, Omaha, and who was also highly educated and articulate in English. As contextualized in Garrick Bailey's introduction, these stories offer insights into Osage culture and society that are not available elsewhere. Bailey divides the stories into sacred teachings, folk stories, and animal stories. To the Osage, the sacred included not only religious but also what we would consider social and political institutions. Unlike the sacred teachings, which were known only to priests, folk tales were public property. Sacred teachings were always educational, whereas folk stories served a variety of purposes. Some were entertaining, some humorous, some frightening, but all were also designed to instill the proper social norms and values of the Osage. The animal stories, intended for children, also illustrate Osage values, as well as conveying information about the animals themselves. € 29,30

![]() ![]() Author: Bailey Garrick Alan (EDT), LA Flesche Francis Publisher: Univ of Oklahoma Pr Francis La Flesche (1857-1932), Omaha Indian and anthropologist with the Bureau of American Ethnology, published an enormous body of work on the religion of the Osage Indians, all gathered from the most knowledgeable Osage religious leaders of their day. Yet his writings have been largely overlooked because they were published piecemeal over the course of twenty-five years and never adequately collected or analyzed. In this book, Garrick A. Bailey brings together in a clear, understandable way La Flesche’s data for two important Osage religious ceremonies--the 'Songs of Wa-xo’-be,' an initiation into a clan priesthood, and the Rite of the Chiefs, an initiation into a tribal priesthood. To put La Flesche’s work into perspective, Bailey offers a short biography of this prolific Native American scholar and an overview of traditional Osage religious beliefs and practices. € 20,20
