Dayholos ©Copyright 2007 William Dayholos II Acknowledgments The value of ones existences can always be measured by the support they receive from others. Be it family or not it is still unselfish support for another human being who is asking for help. Thank you Rose Dayholos, Marjory Marciski, Irene Sulik, Grace Single, Janice Abstreiter, and Robert Regnier for your editing help. This book is dedicated to my partner in life. To me a partner is one whom you can share your ideas with, one who can be trusted not to patronize these ideas, one who can differentiate their own truth from yours. A person who has an equal spiritual level and understanding, and encourages only through support of your ideas and not to through expectation. A true partner is one who balances out any weaknesses you have in the same fashion as you do for them. One’s weakness is the other’s strength, together you create a whole, a relationship that is stronger than the individuals themselves. In true fashion my partner has both helped and supported this book’s creation. Without this partner’s help it might have run the risk of being too much “me”! This was never the reason for the book.

  • Two Late Woodland Midewiwin Aspects from Ontario
    White Dogs, Black Bears, and Ghost Gamblers: Two Late Woodland Midewiwin Aspects from Ontario JAMES B. BANDOW Museum of Ontario Archaeology, University of Western Ontario INTRODUCTION Historians and ethnographers have debated the antiquity of the Midewiwin. Entrenched in historical discourse is Hickerson’s (1962, 1970) theory that the Midewiwin was a recent native resistance movement, a socio-evolutionary response to the changing culture patterns resulting from culture contact with Europeans. Other scholars view the Midewiwin as a syncretism, suggesting that a prehistoric component became intertwined with Christian influences that resulted in the ceremonial practices observed by ethnohistorians (Mason 2009; Aldendefer 1993; Dewdney 1975; Landes 1968). Recent critiques, however, provide evidence from material culture studies and center on the largely Western bias inherent in Hickerson’s diffusionist argument surrounding the post-contact origin of the Midewiwin. These arguments note structural similarities observed in birch bark scroll depictions, rock paintings and pictographs with historical narratives, ethnographic accounts, and oral history. These multiple perspectives lead some historians to conclude the practice was a pre-contact phenomenon (e.g., Angel 2002:68; Peers 1994:24; Schenck 1997:102; Kidd 1981:43; Hoffman 1891:260). Archaeological and material culture studies may provide further insight into understanding the origins of the Midewiwin. Oberholtzer’s (2002) recent overview of dog burial practices, for instance, compared prehistoric ritual patterns with the known historical practices and concluded that the increased complexity of the Midewiwin Society is an elaboration of substantive indigenous practices that must predate any European influence. This paper documents the archaeological continuity and syncretism of Mide symbolism observed from the Great Lakes region.

  • Stone Portals by Sergey Smelyakov [email protected]
    The Stone Portals by Sergey Smelyakov [email protected] This issue starts hosting of English edition of the e-book The Stone Portals (http://www.astrotheos.com/EPage_Portal_HOME.htm). The first Chapter presents the classification and general description of the stone artefacts which are considered the stone portals: stone – for their substance, and portals – for their occult destination. Their main classes are the pyramids, cromlechs, and stone mounds, as well as lesser forms – stone labyrinths et al. Then, chapter by chapter, we analyze the classes of these artefacts from the viewpoint of their occult and analytical properties, which, as it turned out, in different regions of the world manifest the similar properties in astronomical alignments, metrological and geometrical features, calendaric application, and occult destination. The second Chapter deals with the first, most extensive class of the Stone Portals – the Labyrinth- Temples presented by edifices of various types: Pyramids, mounds, etc. This study is preceded by an overview of astronomic and calendaric concepts that are used in the subsequent analysis. The religious and occult properties are analyzed relative to the main classes of the Labyrinth-Temples disposed in Mesoamerica and Eurasia, but from analytical point of view the main attention is devoted to Mesoamerican pyramids and European Passage Mounds. Thus a series of important properties are revealed re to their geometry, geodesy, astronomy, and metrology which show that their builders possessed extensive knowledge in all these areas. At this, it is shown that although these artefacts differ in their appearance, they have much in common in their design detail, religious and occult destination, and analytic properties, and on the world-wide scale.

    The 2017 Langara College Archaeology Field School: Summary of Field Investigations Stanley A. Copp (Ph.D) Edits 06 March 2018 The author of this document as well as the administration, faculty and staff of Langara College recognize the fact that our institution is located within the unceded territories of the Xʷməθkʷəyəm First Nation. Langara College has been honoured with a traditional Xʷməθkʷəyəm name Snəweyəɬ leləm, meaning “house of teaching” Introduction: The Archaeology Field School The 2017 Langara College archaeology field school (ARFS) was held over 13 consecutive weeks (May-July). Fifteen students were enrolled in the program which consisted of 12 university- transfer credit courses; Anth 1221 (6 credits) Field Techniques in Archaeology, Anth 1222 (3 credits) Laboratory Methods in Archaeology, and Anth 1224 (3 credits) Ethnoarchaeology. Stan Copp taught Anth 1221 and 1222, and Anth 1224 was taught by Adam Solomonian. All fifteen students were given the opportunity to participate in the government of British Columbia RISC (Resource Inventory Committee) certification program in Archaeology field techniques. All fifteen easily passed the certification exam and field practicums. Successful RISC certification has previously allowed students immediate access to employment in the British Columbia heritage industry as the program focuses on skills required to participate in field work – unfortunately, the 2017 forest fire situation has meant much of the heritage consulting industry has been put in abeyance. Skills taught include, but are not limited to; archaeological site inventory (field reconnaissance), site recording, culturally modified tree (CMT) recording, site mapping, photography, completion of government survey forms and other documents, and other experiential skills.

  • Manitou Or Spirit Stones and Their Meanings for Native Indians Of
    Manitou or Spirit Stones, Their Meanings and Link to the Native American Cultural Landscape in North America Herman E. Bender The Hanwakan Center for Prehistoric Astronomy, Cosmology and Cultural Landscape Studies, Inc. Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, USA [email protected] © 2014 Key words. North America, American Indian, Manitou, landscape, spirit, water, trail, cairn, profile Abstract Since ancient times the Native or Indian people of North America have believed in the existence of a supernatural, omnipresent and omniscient ‘force’ or ‘presence’. All encompassing and pervasive, it is universal in scale. For many of the Native people living here, manifestations of the supernatural could be expressed by one word: Manitou. Manitou itself was seen to rest in rocks and boulders, sometimes referred to as ‘spirit’ or ‘image’ stones. They were once a common feature of the landscape. Hilltops and other significant places considered important were favored locations for the manifestation of Manitou. On the cultural landscape, the stones together with their physical setting were considered sacred. Physically, both the hills and Manitou stones were, and are, generally associated with water, e.g. springs, rapids and water falls, creeks, straits, river bends and drainage divides. Association with springs, however, seems to have been most common. There is also a definite trail or prehistoric footpath association, and the places venerated by the presence of Manitou(s) may have functioned as part of a broad ‘trail-shrine’ network, identifying ‘place’ in both a spiritual and geographic context (Bender 2007&2008a&b). Some Manitou stones and effigies can be dated back many millennia. Historically, early French explorers, Jesuit priests and the later missionaries frequently mentioned them as did Henry Rowe Schoolcraft during his travels in the upper Midwest in the early 19th century.
