Sacred items are made, used and cared for by those who have acquired the ceremonial rights to them. To obtain the rights to a sacred item, an individual must go through a ceremony specific to that item. Even someone who has acquired rights to certain items must go through another ceremony to acquire the rights to hairlock shirts. The Blackfoot ceremonial leaders who helped to guide this project respectfully remind readers of this book that only those people who have had the appropriate rights transferred to them in a ceremony should make or wear hairlock shirts. 1 doi: 10.15215/aupress/9781771990370.01 The Blackfoot ceremonial leaders with whom we collaborated on this project offered advice about the themes and content of this book. They also raised con- cerns that they wish to highlight and spoke about why they and others chose to participate in this project. Herman Yellow old woman: When we were starting to talk about reviving our ceremonial societies back home, one of the words I kept hearing in prayers was aaksisstoyi’ta’kssin: it’s bravery, accepting a challenge; these people took this 1 An aaksisstoyi’ta’kssin is a person who challenge, they never looked back.1 That was a prayer that I kept hearing, even persists in pursuing a goal despite challenges after transfers had taken place: a lot of our elders kept saying, mooksi aomoopiiksi: or the odds against achieving that goal. these people have taken this challenge, they never looked back. Today they’ve succeeded, by taking the guidance of us elders. There’s another word that I kept hearing in the prayers for us: aomoopiiksi. The thing about taking up this chal- lenge, taking over the stuff that we repatriated: we sat for days, we sat for nights, listening to our elders, how we were going to proceed, because it was a very difficult thing that we were going to go through. So this word, aomoopiiksi: what they were talking about was this kind of setting [that we are in now]. We don’t know what we are going to do, we don’t know what we are going to hear. We are sitting here, looking at what we want for our children, our children’s children, the generations ahead of us: that’s why we’re sitting here, for hours and hours.

  • SEAN LYNCH a BLOW by BLOW ACCOUNT of STONE CARVING in OXFORD 12 April – 8 June This Exhibition Presents the Varied Practice of Artist Sean Lynch (B
    MODERN ART OXFORD SEAN LYNCH A BLOW BY BLOW ACCOUNT OF STONE CARVING IN OXFORD 12 April – 8 June This exhibition presents the varied practice of artist Sean Lynch (b. Kerry, Ireland, 1978) through a range of works including sculpture, photographs and a slide projection located in Modern Art Oxford’s yard, shop, Project Space and cafe. Lynch is interested in recovering moments in history which have thus far eluded popular consciousness. Adopting an ethnographic approach to his research, he reassembles lost artefacts, fragments and narratives to present an alternative perspective on the past. For this exhibition, Lynch concentrates primarily on the legacy of the O’Shea brothers, stone carvers from Ireland whose handiwork can be seen in Oxford today. Known for their skilled carvings adorning significant Victorian buildings in Dublin created during the 1850s, the O’Sheas were invited by the University of Oxford to work on the new Museum of Natural History. Lynch’s slide projection, presented in the Project Space, explores a controversy that arose after the O’Sheas carved a series of monkeys into the facade of the Natural History Museum. Construed as a reference to Darwin’s then contentious theory of evolution; the brothers were dismissed, only to attempt a final rebellious carving of parrots and owls over the doorway of the museum, intended to caricature the authorities of the University. Lynch carefully weaves this tale into the documented history of The Ark, the UK’s first public museum located in Lambeth, London and founded in the 1630s by John Tradescant, whose collection later formed the basis of the Ashmolean Museum.

  • Chapter Eight
    CHAPTER VIII A GROWING DIVISION OF INTERESTS 1. The Museum at Oxford In many ways Pitt Rivers' donation of his collection to Oxford represented a disenchantment with the progress of anthropology and his place in it. He had first given up direct control of his collection in 1874, when his own interests had begun to devolve upon field investigations. Throughout the next few years, while he gave occasional attention to his collection and its series, his main preoccupation had been with the development of excavation techniques and the investigation of a number of major monuments in Sussex and elsewhere in the south of England. Beginning in 1880, his attentions had shifted to sites at his Wiltshire estate and to preliminary work on behalf of Lubbock's Ancient Monuments Bill. His collection had become, as a result, something of a burden, and while he continued to have hopes for it, he was happy to pass on his responsibilities on to someone else. Oxford had not been his first choice, but from his point of view, it was apparently the only choice readily available. If anything was to be done with the collection, however, it was for the University to take the initiative. Oxford, in many ways, was ill prepared to accept Pitt Rivers' gift. Scientific studies had established only a tentative footing in the University, and many, including Pitt Rivers, must have doubted whether a museum devoted to a subject so often controversial as anthropology would ever be accepted by the more conservative elements there. Opposition to the sciences continued to be widespread, with leading figures of the university, such as W.A.
