People of Kituwah

The Old Ways of the Eastern Cherokees

Omschrijving

This is a monumental work that contextualizes what might be called Cherokee 'religion, ' but goes deeper than that. Crafted over years of collaborations between academic and Cherokee knowledge holders, this is going to be a highly regarded classic of the history of religions.--Philip Arnold, Associate Professor of Religion and Native American and Indigenous Studies, Syracuse University, and President, Indigenous Values Initiative People of Kituwah is a major contribution to the study of the Cherokee ethos. John Loftin and Benjamin Frey offer a comprehensive study of a much-neglected subject--Eastern Cherokee spirituality--by examining the mythic context from which Cherokee religious beliefs evolved and were historically practiced. A scholarly work which challenges modern misconceptions regarding the monolithic nature of Cherokees' religion, historical attitude toward female menstruation, and belief in multiple souls and in the afterlife.--Alan Kilpatrick, Professor Emeritus of American Indian Studies, San Diego State University
