Anotace knihy

In the summer of 1933 in Lawton Oklahoma a team of six anthropologists met with eighteen Comanche elders to record the lattera's reminiscences of traditional Comanche culture. The depth and breadth of what the elderly Comanches recalled provides an inestimable source of knowledge for generations to come both within and beyond the Comanche community. This monumental volume makes available for the first time the largest archive of traditional cultural information on Comanches ever gathered by American anthropologists.Much of the Comanchesa' earlier world is presented herea"religious stories historical accounts autobiographical remembrances cosmology the practice of war everyday games birth rituals funerals kinship relations the organization of camps material culture and relations with other tribes.Thomas W. Kavanagh tracked down all known surviving notes from the Santa Fe Laboratory field party and collated and annotated the records learning as much as possible about the Comanche elders who spoke with the anthropologists and when possible attributing pieces of information to the appropriate elders. In addition this volume includes Robert H. Lowiea's notes from his short 1912 visit to the Comanches. The result stands as a legacy for both Comanches and those interested in learning more about them.
