Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique and intimate glimpse into the everyday life of the Chiricahua Apache, a Native American tribe that once roamed the American Southwest and northern Mexico. The author takes a highly personal approach, moving beyond the typical anthropological focus on customs and practices to explore how individuals became Chiricahua. The book follows the life cycle of a Chiricahua child, from the first signs of pregnancy to the rituals surrounding birth and the child's first steps. We learn about the intricate beliefs surrounding childbirth, the careful preparation for a cradle ceremony, and the importance of proper name-giving. The author paints a vivid picture of the tight-knit community, the importance of family, and the everyday customs that shaped the lives of these people. Beyond individual experiences, the book dives into the social relations of the tribe, highlighting the dynamics between men and women, marriage arrangements, and the role of kin groups. We learn about the beliefs and practices surrounding the supernatural, sorcery, and the role of shamans. We also get a glimpse into the economic life of the Chiricahua, from hunting and warfare to their reliance on wild plants and food preservation techniques. Through rich detail and insightful observations, the book offers a compelling understanding of the Chiricahua Apache culture, shedding light on the resilience and traditions of a people who have long been marginalized. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
