Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The North American handgame has a long lineage, attested in the myth, oral traditions, and archaeological records of Native American people. In The Handgame of the Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache: Spirited Competition on the Southern Plains, noted scholar William C. Meadows examines the game's history, evolution, and practice from origin accounts to the present day among people of the Southern Plains American Indian nations. According to Meadows, the handgame, once primarily a source of winter recreation, now includes round-robin tournaments as well as public school and university teams. In fact, it has evolved to occupy an important social arena in Native American life. Based on ethnographic fieldwork and the author's own participation since the early 1990s, the book also incorporates extensive archival research in ethnographic, archaeological, and historical sources. Examining such topics as the handgame's relation to language, gender roles, economics, and tribal sovereignty, Meadows argues that the game is just as important in tribal contexts as other more widely known activities such as powwows, dances, sweat lodges, and stickball in maintaining American Indian culture and ethnicity.The Handgame of the Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache affords readers a greater sense of how this traditional game has developed, how its practitioners feel about it, how it is played, and why it is, in the words of the author, "so spirited, popular, and infectious as an activity.".…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One tribe's traditional knowledge of plants, presented for the first timeResidents of the Great Plains since the early 1500s, the Apache people were well acquainted with the native flora of the region. In Plains Apache Ethnobotany, Julia A. Jordan documents more than 110 plant species valued by the Plains Apache and preserves a wealth of detail concerning traditional Apache collection, preparation, and use of these plant species for food, medicine, ritual, and material culture.The traditional Apache economy centered on hunting, gathering, and trading with other tribes. Throughout their long history the Apache lived in or traveled to many different parts of the plains, gaining an intimate knowledge of a wide variety of plant resources. Part of this traditional knowledge, especially that pertaining to plants of Oklahoma, has been captured here by Jordan's fieldwork, conducted with elders of the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma in the mid-1960s, a time when much traditional knowledge was being lost.Plains Apache Ethnobotany is the most comprehensive ethnobotanical study of a southern plains tribe. Handsomely illustrated, this book is a valuable resource for ethnobotanists, anthropologists, historians, and anyone interested in American Indian use of native plants.…
