Reed Among Native North Americans Music and Culture of West Africa: Christopher Geyer Out of the Archives and Into the Light PART ONE Laura Boulton is a name heard frequently around the ATM. Introduction We hold the Laura C. Boulton Collection, comprised of Laura Boulton (1899-1980) was, perhaps, the most prolific recordings collected worldwide from 1929 through 1979, with of the early collectors of music recordings. She traveled accompanying field notes, papers, correspondence, photos and throughout much of the world during a period of rapid films. We offer junior and senior research fellowships in technological change. Among her many recording trips, Boulton Boulton's nanle (see Chris Geyer's article in this issue of made four music collecting trips among Native North Americans Resound). And a major outreach endeavor, based on Boulton's that took place during several periods of her long and prolific collection, has come to fruition in the release of the CD-ROM career as a music collector. This article will describe these musical Music and Culture of West Africa: The Straus Expedition journeys and discuss Boulton's career and personal circumstances (Indiana University Press, 2002). during the periods of these trips. I have selected materials drawn Created by the ATM in collaboration with Indiana from Boulton's publications, field notes, and correspondence University's Teaching Learning Technologies Lab (ILTL) with to allow the reader to more vividly understand the circumstances support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, surrounding her music collecting efforts among Native North Music and Culture of West Africa represents the culmination Americans. I will discuss the economic, social, and political of years of work by dozens of people. The origins of Music conditions surrounding Boulton's work as a scholar, the and Culture of West Africa date back to the fall of 1995, obstacles she faced and her persistence to overcome them. Laura when Gloria Gibson had just begun her tenure as ATM Boulton is often left out of histories of the discipline of director, and I had just begun research, as the Laura Boulton ethnomusicology, yet she was an immensely important figure Junior Fellow, on materials Boulton collected during the Straus within the context of music collecting scholarship, central to the Expedition-a 1934 field study in West Africa.

I title could be "From Chicago, Illinois, to Pt. Barrow, Alaska" as gladly agreed to do so. This decision marked the beginning of that is the order in which she undertook her field collecting trips many years of stimulating involvement in this collaborative among Native North Americans between the years 1933 to project that demonstrates the great potential oE' archival 1947. My title does not reflect this chronology, but rather reflects materials for use in multimedia pedagogical tools. the two extremes of climate and topography between the Arctic Laura Boulton was just one of several participants in the and the desert, both of which Boulton regarded with a romantic Straus Expedition, which also included a taxidermist, a fascination.

Music and Culture of West Africa covers a broad range of African musical cultures, from the Tuareg of Timbuktu at the edge of the Sahara Desert to the Wakpe in the equatorial rainforests of Cameroon. Of the many types of presentations the CD-ROM offers, I will mention just a few here. For each town featured in the CD-ROM, there exists an introduction to the social and cultural lives of the people who live there. These presentations provide a general context in which to learn about the roles music plays in these peoples' lives. Within each town are located presentations on various aspects of music and culture, centering on issues of organology, perfonne.rs and performance contexts, music and meaning, and change and continuity. Additional presentations on the topics of fieldwork, Laura Boulton, and the Straus Expedition explore how Laura Boulton's career fits into the history of ethnographic research. The cover of Music and Culture of West Mrica A presentation on representation investigates how Africans, their music, and the Straus Expedition were portrayed in the popular media in 1934. Readers of Resound might particularly enjoy a presentation on the recording technology used during RESOUND the expedition.

Diné, Apache, Hopi, Pueblo, Gila, Yaqui, and O’odham bands are currently creating vast punk and metal music scenes. In this thesis, I argue that Native punk is not just a cultural movement, but a form of survivance. Bands utilize punk and their stories as a conduit to counteract issues of victimhood as well as challenge imposed mechanisms of settler colonialism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, notions of being fixed in the past, as well as bringing awareness to genocide and missing and murdered Indigenous women. Through D.I.Y. and space making, bands are writing music which ii resonates with them, and are utilizing their own venues, promotions, zines, unique fashion, and lyrics to tell their stories.

  • Navajo Ritual Sparks Unusual Oratorio
    Navajo ritual sparks unusual oratorio Utah premiere » Utah concert will convey the healing power of the Enemy Way ceremony. By Celia R. Baker Special To The Tribune Salt Lake Tribune Navajo soldiers brought up according to tradition often ask that a Blessing Way ceremony be performed before they head to the Middle East for military service. But when a Navajo soldier returns from battle traumatized, stronger medicine is required. For him, the Enemy Way is sung -- a ceremony for healing broken spirits and restoring balance to shattered psyches. The story of such a man is at the heart of composer Mark Grey's "Enemy Slayer: A Navajo Oratorio," commissioned for a 2007 performance of the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. "Enemy Slayer" will receive its Utah premiere Saturday when Brady Allred conducts the Salt Lake Choral Artists in a Libby Gardner Hall performance. The composer and librettist will be present to discuss their unusual work. Navajo religious rites are an unexpected subject for oratorio -- a classical music form similar to opera, but performed without costumes and scenery. Storylines usually come from the Bible, or classical mythology. "Enemy Slayer" bends those expectations in surprising ways. Grey means his oratorio to be a musical work of contemporary relevance, taking inspiration from a Native American creation stories and ceremonies without trivializing them. Before Grey began composing, he convened a group of Navajo elders tasked with teaching him -- a belagana , or white man --how to convey aspects of Navajo ceremonies in an art work without violating their sacredness. With their blessing, he enlisted Navajo poet Laura Tohe to write a libretto that captures the spirit -- though not the actuality -- of the Enemy Way ceremony.

  • The Legend of Don Lorenzo John Lorenzo Hubbell and the Sense Of
    The Legend of Don Lorenzo John Lorenzo Hubbell and the Sense of Place in Navajo Country by Erica Cottam A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved March 2014 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Stephen Pyne, Chair Katherine Osburn Christine Szuter ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2014 ABSTRACT This dissertation is a cultural history of the frontier stories surrounding an Arizona politician and Indian trader, John Lorenzo Hubbell. From 1878 to 1930, Hubbell operated a trading post in Ganado, Arizona—what is today Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site. During that time, he played host to hundreds of visitors who trekked into Navajo country in search of scientific knowledge and artistic inspiration as the nation struggled to come to terms with industrialization, immigration, and other modern upheavals. Hubbell became an important mediator between the Native Americans and the Anglos who came to study them, a facilitator of the creation of the Southwestern myth. He lavished hospitality upon some of the Southwest’s principle myth-makers, regaling them with stories of his younger days in the Southwest, which his guests remembered and shared face-to-face and in print, from novels to booster literature. By applying place theory to Hubbell’s stories, and by placing them in the context of the history of tourism in the Southwest, I explore the relationship between those stories, the visitors who heard and retold them, and the process of place- and myth-making in the Southwest. I argue that the stories operated on two levels. First, they became a kind of folklore for Hubbell’s visitors, a cycle of stories that expressed their ties to and understanding of the Navajo landscape and bound them together as a group, despite the fact that they must inevitably leave Navajo country.
