Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate social and economic structure of the Patwin people through the lens of functional families. The author explores how inheritance and descent played a pivotal role in determining these families' functional responsibilities and social prestige. Distinct from other California Native American groups, the Patwin placed immense cultural importance on paternal descent, with family membership and privileges flowing primarily through the male line. The book examines various types of functional families within Patwin society, encompassing ceremonial, trade, shamanistic, and official families. Each family possessed its own esoteric rituals, medicines, and charms that enabled its members to excel in their respective functions. For instance, ceremonial families had special knowledge for performing sacred dances, while trade families had inherited techniques for successful hunting and fishing. This specialization, combined with a belief in the power of supernormal aid, shaped the economic and spiritual life of the Patwin people. Through detailed accounts of family adoption practices and the significance of charms and medicines, the book reveals the complex interplay between social organization and spiritual beliefs among the Patwin. The insights offered in this book contribute to a deeper understanding of the rich cultural diversity that characterized Native American societies in California and beyond, shedding light on the often-overlooked importance of family structure and inheritance in shaping social and economic systems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
