Republic of Indians
Separate Paths
Jean R. Soderlund, Professor Emerita of History at Lehigh University, has published several books and many articles regarding the Lenape Indians, the Quakers in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, women in the British colonies of America, and the enslavement of African Americans in the Middle Colonies. This accomplished scholar has combined these interests in her latest monograph, Separate Paths: Lenapes and Colonists in West New Jersey. Informed by sub…

American Indians Encounter the Bible
This article explores how Native Americans have received the Bible. Over the centuries some Indians have been inspired by the Bible, and some have been repelled by its long-standing place in colonization. The Christian invaders in the New World carried the Bible in their minds. It served as their inspiration, their justification, and their frame of reference as they encountered Indigenous peoples. In effect, the Bible was the template for explora…
Forging Communities in Colonial Alta California
In this volume, fourteen interdisciplinary scholars of southwestern U.S. borderlands examine the communities formed by the European incursion into Alta California from initial colonization in 1769 to the U.S. take-over in 1849. Their focus is on the short-lived and well-documented Spanish Franciscan missions, where the invaders (including indigenous Mexicans, Africans, Russians, and Anglos) initiated contact with diverse native peoples. How did t…

R osalyn R. L aPier . Invisible Reality
Rosalyn R. LaPier writes as an associate professor at the University of Montana and a research associate at the National Museum of Natural History. She also writes from her Blackfeet heritage, well aware of her ancestral lineages, and as an enrolled tribal member. Thus, she has amassed her evidence through copious reading of archival and published work; she has also heard stories from relatives, both informally and by a process of consultation, p…
Masters and Students. Jesuit Missionary Ethnography in Seventeenth-Century New France, written by Micah True
N avajo Morals and Myths, Ethics and Ethicists
Over a century ago a W estern observer recognized an effective morality among N avajo I ndians in the A merican S outhwest, yet could not locate its expression, except in mythology recounting contradictory behaviors. Through the 1900s scholars delineated contours of N avajo moral values, myths, and taxonomies upon which moral traditions were based, and situations in which N avajos have engaged in ethical decision‐making. Recently individual N ava…
Children of Coyote, Missionaries of Saint Francis
A decade ago, when I published On the Padres’ Trail (Univ. of Notre Dame Press, 1997), the first volume of three regarding the history of Indian Catholics in North America, I thought that I had touched sufficient bases of evidence concerning the Franciscan missions of Alta California, 1769 – 1850. Steven W. Hackel’s new book shows how much more there was to read, and how much has been written on the topic in the last ten years. Children of Coyote…
Being-in-Christ and Putting Death in Its Place
It took me many months to finish reading Miles Richardson’s comparison of Latin American Catholicism and Anglo-American Protestantism. The publicists at Louisiana State University (where Richardson is a chaired professor in Latin American Studies, with “no plans to retire”) call it “bracingly original” and “rooted in the author’s personal story of why he became an anthropologist.” I found the early chapters (the first third of the tome) undiscipl…
Sacred Objects and Sacred Places
Andrew Gulliford says at the outset that his is “a work of affirmation about the ways in which Native Americans have maintained their cultures against all odds.” He remarks that “the native peoples of America continue to teach the rest of us the valuable lessons they have learned from living on this continent for millennia.” These statements mark Sacred Objects and Sacred Places as a work of advocacy. For all of its grounding in bibliography and …

There are few Indian communities in North America where economic life flourishes. Old skills and the environments-natural and cultural-in which they developed have altered drastically over the centuries. In most cases traditional knowledge and materials are gone, or considered obsolete today. In all cases the land base of particular Indian populations-the reservations or reserves in the United States and Canada respectively-are too small to suppo…
The Exception Who Proves the Rules
Recent studies of the Trickster in world folklore1 have indicated his role as threat to the rules of societal and cosmic order. He is a paradoxical figure whose antics mock the seriousness of rules, the sacrality of beliefs, and the establishment of rituals. He is a vagabond, an intruder to proper society, an unpredictable liar who throws doubt on the concept of truth itself. As a folklore figure he is both human and divine, a person and an anima…

Facing Death, Masking Death, in Luba Myth and Art
In following article we look at a series of varied stories from Luba people (Baluba) from Zaire, myths that describe, in copious and contradictory detail, origins of human death. These texts help to show how an African people views human existence by stating that ultimately human life is defined by its extinguishment. In addition, Luba myths point to ultimacy of a supreme being and ameliorative efficacy of human ancestors whose existence derives …
