Cox, Supervisor John M. González Lisa L. Moore Gretchen Murphy Deborah Paredez Staged Encounters: Native American Performance between 1880 and 1920 by Katherine Liesl Young Evans, B.A., M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August, 2010 Acknowledgements For someone so concerned with embodiment and movement, I have spent an awful lot of the last seven years planted in a chair reading books. Those books, piled on my desk, floor, and bedside table, have variously angered, inspired, and enlightened me as I worked my way through this project, but I am grateful for their company and conversation. Luckily, I had a number of generous professors who kept funneling these books my way and enthusiastically discussed them with me, not least of which were the members of my dissertation committee. James Cox, my director, offered unflagging enthusiasm and guidance and asked just the right questions to push me into new areas of inquiry. Lisa Moore, Gretchen Murphy, John González, and Deborah Paredez lit the way towards this project through engaging seminars, lengthy reading lists, challenging comments on drafts, and crucial support in the final stages. Other members of the English department faculty made a substantial impact on my development as a teacher and scholar.

    ANTHROPOLOGICAL PAPERS OF THE American fluseum of Natural History. Vol. XI, Part X. DANCES AND SOCIETIES OF THE PLAINS SHOSHONE. BY ROBERT H. LOWIE. NEW YORK: Published by Order of the Trustees. 1915. DANCES AND SOCIETIES OF THE PLAINS SHOSHONE. By ROBERT H. LOWIE. 803 PREFACE. From the beginning it had been intended to include those Shoshonean tribes who had been more or less affected by the culture of the Plains in the present survey of the military societies of that area. Accordingly, I devoted a portion of the summer of 1912 to seeking relevant data from the Comanche, Southern Ute, and Wind River Shoshone. The Comanche were visited in the vicinity of Lawton, Oklahoma; the Southern Ute at Navaho Springs and Ignacio, Colorado; the Shoshone at Wind River, Wyoming. In 1914, a brief visit was paid to the Ute of Whiterocks, Uintah Reservation, Utah. While the information is meager for all of the tribes concerned, I feel reasonably sure that this is largely due to the relative simplicity of Sho- shonean culture and that the essential features of the Ute and Wind River dances are correctly represented. I am much less confident as regards the Comanche, who proved poor, and in part very unwilling, informants. For the pictures of the Bear dance, as well as for innumerable courtesies during my brief stay at Navaho Springs, I feel under deep obligations to Mr. and Mrs. Charles D. Wagner.

Kracht Geography/Sociology Northeastern State University Tahlequah, OK 74464 Abstract. Today, intertribalparticipants at Southern Plains powwows (Okla­ homa and Texas) celebrate common history and culture-their sense of "Indianness"-through the enactment of ceremonial song and dance. The Kiowa playa central and assertive role in the Southern Plains powwow network. and they use the Gourd Dance as the vehicle to identify their "Kiowaness." The thesis ofthis paper is that the Kiowa continue to maintain their tribal identity through performances of the Gourd Dance.

  • Unit 5 the Child: a Cultural Being
    UNIT 5 THE CHILD: A CULTURAL BEING GENERALIZATION: Cultural identity is a product of self-knowledge and participation in family, community and tribal activities at all levels. PURPOSE: To engage children in activities that enhance their personal, family and tribal knowledge, i.e., traditional American Indian arts and crafts, music, dance, language, history, oral traditions, foods, and ceremonies and celebrations. Due to the intertribal nature of this curriculum various tribal cultures can be contrasted and compared. LEARNING GOAL: Upon completion of this unit children will have a greater knowledge of who they are as human being, girl/boy, family member, community member, and tribal member. TOPIC LIST: Powwow, native crafts and arts, dance, music, stories, legends, history, participation in cultural activities, ceremonies, nature celebrations, traditional clothing, comparative study between tribes, shapes, smell, taste, traditional foods, natural foods, and medicines. Sample Lesson Development _________________________ CONCEPT: Learn about who you are. Master what is taught you. Believe in yourself. PRESENTATION: Cultural identity is very important to most Indian people native to North America. It is gained through knowledge of self (physical, emotional, social, and mental) and knowledge of the history and customs of one’s own family. Inner strength is gained when a person is in touch with both. This unit is designed to pull together for children the elements of their cultural identity presented in the previous units. A comparative study should be done on a variety of tribes. Topics to be reviewed: their ceremonies, traditional clothing, legends, foods, history, dance, art, and music. A Little Boy’s Big Moment, this unit story is a contemporary story about a young boy and cultural experience.
