Born for the Shade
This volume examines the ways in which attempts to define and delimit American nationhood effected imaginative and documentary conceptualizations of the Native American population. Far-reaching in its scope, both in terms of the period covered - roughly the period from the Declaration of Independence to the closing of the frontier - and in terms of the variety and kinds of documents examined, this study calls attention to the cultural and generic…

Culture Theory in Contemporary Ethnohistory
This paper is about how historians and anthropologists have interpreted the encounters between Europeans and native people.Since classical times these encounters have been driven by expansionist societies that colonized the smaller-scale indigenous people who lived around their peripheries.Attempts by historians and anthropologists to interpret this process have been shaped by and in turn have shaped European bias toward native peo ple.To a consi…

"Frank Speck and "The Old Mohegan Indian Stone Cutter
Frank Speck told a story to a Wampanoag Indian of an encounter he had with a Mohegan Indian ghost. The author interprets this story as serving two purposes. First, it created a bond between Speck and the people among whom he did research. Second, it affirmed Indian supernatural belief in a context where the scrutiny by an outside observer could possibly threaten these beliefs

Old Light on Separate Ways
Red Yankees
During the Great Awakening (1740-45), the Narragansett and a number of other New England Indian groups converted to the "New Light" of this first American revival. In their conversion they brought together under new moral authority several disparate aspects of their complex identity as a colonized, struggling Indian people. In converting to a religion of the oppressed, they both identified with elements of the wider society and set themselves apa…
Settling with the Indians
Cultural Bias in the New England Puritans' Perception of Indians
E NGLISH Puritan voyagers to New England during the seventeenth century perceived the Indians whom they met there in terms of a mythical model that originated in their Christian past and achieved sharpness in the writings of John Calvin.I They saw the world as an arena where forces of light and holiness, represented by Protestant saints, fought against armies of sin and darkness, represented by devils who motivated aristocracies and priesthoods, …
Powerlessness, Exploitation and the Soul-Eating Witch
Conflict between village peasants and the modern state is associated with increased concern with witchcraft. Villagers accuse one another of witchcraft and do not accuse the state bureaucrats with whom they have many unresolved grievances. The argument is that in accusing one another of witchcraft the village peasants are displacing conflicts with more powerful outsiders. [Senegal, religion, witchcraft, social change, symbolism
Conversion from Indian to Puritan
AT the ideological level, New England Puritan society in the seventeenth century renewed itself, not through birth as had been true for most of humanity in its earlier existence, but through rebirth experienced as religious conversion. Membership in the community of living saints was determined through an analysis of the preparation of one's soul for salvation, and not by kinship, territorial, or class relationships. What the convert experienced …
Islamic Conversion and Social Change in a Senegalese Village
Religious conversion is a highly varied phenomenon. In American culture one generally thinks of conversion as an awakened personal commitment to one's own (or a similar) religious tradition, as in the case of the rebirth of a nominal Christian. Conversion also may serve as the basis for recruitment to a movement which defines and constitutes one's tradition anew. The prophetic movement among the eighteenth century Seneca Iroquois so richly portra…
Culture Contact in Protohistoric California
There is great potential to address critical issues in contemporary culture contact studies through the study of the initial encounters (1542 to 1603} between natives and Europeans in California. Early exploration scholarship tends to focus on either the European ships and crews or the native communities they described, but rarely on the interactions between them. By reanalyzing the voyager accounts and relevant archaeological remains, one may ev…
