The Soul of the Indian de Charles A. Eastman

The Soul of the Indian

Autor Charles A. Eastman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 iul 2001
THE SOUL OF THE INDIAN is Charles Eastman?s fascinating study of the religious and spiritual life of the Indian people, as he knew them over 100 years ago. He explores the Dakota belief in God??the Great Mystery?, ceremonies, symbolism, the moral code of the Dakota and much more. Eastman was born on the Santee Reservation in Minnesota in 1858. His grandparents raised him after his mother?s death and his father?s capture during the ?Minnesota Sioux Uprising?. At the age of fifteen, he was reunited with his father and embarked on a life in white man?s society. He became a doctor and spent the rest of his life helping Indian people cope with the changes to their world and trying to reconcile the opposing values and beliefs of white society and Sioux culture.

Recenzii

"This volume has withstood the test of time. . . . Eastman provides insight on every page and much of his focus is on the religious practices and beliefs of the Native Americans."—Roundup

“Like his Dakota ancestors, Eastman was a thinker and a diplomat. He offered up this book and others as a warriors’ feast, even as he could have dissolved into rage and silence. Instead, he chose paper and pen. The Soul of the Indian concludes with a complex interpretation of Dakota and Ojibwe people, possibly more than Americans were prepared to understand at the time of its publication. Eastman wrote in a deceptively simple hand, with a subtle plea for justice for American Indians. He concludes with a beautiful story of goodwill and peace, the moral subtext of The Soul of the Indian. As Eastman exhorted his readers, American Indians held ‘a unique character among the peoples of the earth’ so that when Americans reflect on Indians, ‘let that remembrance be just.’ This was his warriors’ feast.”—from Brenda Child’s introduction

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
In The Soul of the Indian, first published in 1911, Charles A. Eastman’s aim was “to paint the religious life of the typical American Indian as it was before he knew the white man.” The new introduction by Brenda J. Child grounds this important book in contemporary studies.
