First Edition Thus (1970) , Second Printing (1973). Mass Market Paperback. Masked Gods is a vast book, a challenging and profoundly original account of the history, legends, and ceremonialism of the Navaho and Pueblo Indians of the Southwest. Following a brief but vivid history of the two tribes through the centuries of conquest, the book turns inward to the meaning of Indian legends and ritual Navaho songs, Pueblo dances, Zuni kachina ceremonies. Enduring still, these rituals and ceremonies express a view of life, of man's place in the creation, which is compared with Taoism and Buddhism and with the aggressive individualism of the Western world. Frank Waters (1902 - 1995) was an American writer. He is known for his novels and historical works about the American Southwest. He was as remarkable as his contributions to the collective knowledge of Native American peoples. Masked Gods is unmatched as a chronicle of the spiritual worlds of the major cultures of the vast Colorado Plateau area Waters roamed for much of his life. Beautifully written, it was discounted by many academics for its romantic point of view, but it has lasted far longer than most standard texts on anthropology. Waters spent his life experiencing and writing about mysticism and Native American cultures; in my opinion, his personal commitment elevates much of his work above others in the field. He was nominated for the Nobel prize several times, but never won the award. ; MMP First Edition [1970] unstated; Second Printing.…

NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 12mo. 270pp.Liberally illustrated with duotone drawings and diagrams. Eight-pages section of duotone photographs. This title was first published in hardcover in 1957 by the University of Oklahoma Press. Mass Market Paperback. When the first edition of this book was published in 1957, the art of making a tipi was almost lost, even among American Indians. Since that time a tremendous resurgence of interest in the Indian way of life has occurred, resurgence due in part, at least, to the Laubins' life-long efforts at preservation and interpretation of Indian culture. Besides providing all necessary details on the materials, construction, setting up, and maintenance of a tipi, this book also provides comparisons with alternate designs and why one might be better than another, and gives advice on varying the size to fit your needs. It provides all the essentials, including adjustments for various seasons and types of weather (rain, snow, and wind), layout of living and sleeping space, furniture, storage of supplies, fire building, cooking, recipes, brain tanning, making parfleche containers, and moccasins. Plus it includes a few words about a native ceremony to properly dedicate the new lodge, and describes tipi etiquette for hosts and visitors. Lots of photos, drawings and detailed diagrams are provided.…

Illustrated with delightful line drawings by the author. Foreward by Carl Carmer. Language: English. Weight: 5 ounces. First published in hardcover in 1953. Paperback. Jaime de Angulo (18871950) was a linguist, novelist, and ethnomusicologist in the western United States. He was born in Paris of Spanish parents. He came to America in 1905 to become a cowboy, and eventually arrived in San Francisco on the eve of the great 1906 earthquake. He lived a picaresque life including stints as a cowboy, medical doctor and psychologist, a decade of field work in Native American linguistics and anthropology, and over forty years participation in the literary-artistic-bohemian culture of the San Francisco Bay Area. De Angulo began his career in field linguistics and anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley in the early 1920s. During the next decade he and his wife lived for intermittent periods among several native Californian tribes to study their cultures, languages and music. As a linguist he contributed to the knowledge of more than a dozen native Northern Californian and Mexican Indian languages and music-systems and collected additional field data on their cultures and oral traditions. De Angulo was particularly interested in the semantics of grammatical systems of the tribes he studied, and was a pioneer in the study of North American ethnomusicology, particularly in his recordings of native music, and he was especially concerned to develop an existential understanding of Native American cosmology, social psychology, values and culture. From the perspective of the academic scholarship of the period, this amounted to "going native." His key exposition of this matter is "Indians In Overalls", first published in 1950. His involvement in Native American research effectively came to an end following the death of his son Alvar in an automobile accident in 1933, near Big Sur. He retired to the isolated hilltop ranch there where he had lived intermittently for many years, and which he had first homesteaded after the 1915 failure of his ranch in Alturas. His writings took a turn into fiction and poetry, much of which he presented as alternative techniques of presenting in accessible format the ethnographic detail he had collected. This was especially true for his bestseller, 'Indian Tales'. Much of his fictional work attempted to recognize and embrace the native "coyote tales", or the trickster wisdom inherent in native storytelling. Ezra Pound called him "the American Ovid" and William Carlos Williams "one of the most outstanding writers I have ever encountered." de Angulo also went on to tutor numerous famous authors including Jack Spicer in linguistics, and Robert Duncan in North American shamanic sorcery; he appears as a character in Jack Kerouac's books. The San Francisco Beat generation found in him an ''Old Coyote, '' an anarchist hero and talented subversive. De Angulo shaped and diversified the scholarly picture of the native Californian landscape. His re-envisioning of the ontological status of Native American cosmology and ethnology anticipated the 'Deep Ecology' and 'Back To The Pleistocene' thought of the 1990s. He was friend and colleague to poets, composers, and scholars such as Harry Partch, Henry Miller, Robinson Jeffers, Mary Austin, Henry Cowell, Carl Jung, D. H. Lawrence, Kenneth Rexroth, Robert Duncan, and many others and an important participant in the San Francisco bay area's literary and cultural avant garde. ; 16mo 6" - 7" tall; xiii, 241 pages.…
