The Legend of Jump Mountain
In north central Virginia there is a local tale - The Legend of Jump Mountain, which purports to explain the origins of the Hayes Creek Indian Burial Mound. A highly romantic legend, it immortalizes post colonial intertribal warfare during the early nineteenth century while ignoring the antiquity of the mound and the local descendants of its aboriginal creators. It is not at all uncommon to find such romantic tales in Indian country where the Nat…

Where the Lightning Strikes
Myth, Metaphor, and Meaning in “The Boy Who Could Not Understand”
Throughout the many years I have taught Native American traditions, I have encountered a plethora of colleagues who have been all too willing to dismiss a Native precontact intellectual tradition. Recently a colleague told me that, in spite of Native luminaries such as Black Elk and Tecumseh, there was no historic tradition of philosophy among American Indians. Qualifying his remarks, he quickly added that there was nothing similar to the philoso…
A Tutelo Inquiry
Obscured by the invasive expansion of an aggressive Iroquois confederacy, there exists today a remnant population of eastern Siouan peoples known as Tutelos amid the Six Nations Reserve at Grand River, Ontario. While there is a general dearth of source materials for the Tutelo Indians of Virginia, there is an interesting correspondence between a Native elder at Grand River and Dr. Frank G. Speck that took place during the years 1934 and 1935. The…

An Odyssey among the Iroquois
As suggested in the title "An Odyssey among the Iroquois," there is an epic sense of classical ironic drama in finding the Tutelo among the Hodenosaunee, Great League of the Iroquois. Classified amid the Monacan Division of eastern Siouan nations, the Tutelo together with the Saponi were known as Nahyssans and they were one of three Monacan tribal confederations during the colonial contact era.1 As aboriginals, these Monacan tribes occupied the V…
The Jesuit Republic and Brother Care in The Mission
An award-winning film, The Mission presents an allegorical treatment of colonial drama in the Americas. Although the opening credits to the film state that “the historical events, represented in this story are true, and occurred around the borderlands of Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil in the year 1750,” there is considerable evidence that the scope of this film is greater than the year 1750. Depicting the fabled “Jesuit Republic,” The Mission dra…
From Nansemond to Monacan
In 1948, Library of Congress scholar William Gilbert wrote: "Indian blood still remains noticeable in our eastern States population in spite of the depletions arising from over 300 years of wars, invasions by disease and white men from Europe and black men from Africa."1 Noting that Virginia's surviving Indian groups tended to retain traditions of their Native origin, Gilbert identified several Indian groups along the Blue Ridge and Piedmont zone…
Feather Boy's Promise
Traditional Blackfeet Religion and the Sacred Badger-Two Medicine Wildlands
The U. S. Forest Service has proposed oil and gas development for wildlands adjacent to the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, Glacier National Park, and the Bob Marshall wilderness. In response, traditional Blackfeet tribesmen have argued that these Badger-Two Medicine wildlands are sacred and essential to their traditional religion. In this essay, I document the Blackfeet Tradition and explore the religious significance of these wildlands. Investiga…
