Sharing the World With Bears: Conflict and Coexistence in the Siberian Taiga
Conservation regimes and governmental relations with Indigenous peoples both vary widely. Successfully resolving conflicts arising from human-wildlife interactions (HWI) is complicated by the existence of multiple ontologies not only among various publics but within historically-marginalized and fragmented Indigenous communities. Current models of HWI are being reevaluated in order to better understand how humans and animals, including large carn…
Valuing Difference: Bear Ceremonialism, the Eastern Khanty, and Cultural Variation among Ob-Ugrians
This article draws on a large archive of original video documentation to complement ethnographic literature to provide the first description of modern Eastern Khanty bear ceremonialism and locate it in relation to the traditions of other Ob-Ugrian groups. The comparative analysis of Ob-Ugrian bear ceremonial traditions underscores fundamental differences in the function of such ceremonies, highlights foundational elements of local group identity,…
Pussy Riot, Putin and the Politics of Embodiment
On 21 February 2012, five young women clothed in brightly coloured short skirts, knit tights and rudely made balaclavas ruptured the silence of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow, Russia, with an obscenity-laced song asking the Virgin Mary to deliver Russia from the impending re-election of its former president Vladimir Putin. The Russian Government responded to this provocative but non-violent act with unexpected and unprecedented coe…
In Memoriam: Remembering Alexander Vashchenko
Remembering Alexander Vashchenko Andrew Wiget (bio) When Alexander Vashchenko passed away on 11 June 2013 after a short but terrible battle with cancer, all of us lost a professional colleague of international stature whose voice had become an essential part of the ongoing conversation in the humanities between Russia and North America. Nearly thirty years have passed since I first met him in the summer of 1985. The study of Native American liter…
A Tale of Two Sisters: Age, Agency and Tradition among the Yugan Khanty
Categorical oppositions such as Tradition and Modernity are often employed to explain conventional behavior, because there is a presumed consonance between the goals of the agent and the values of the context in which the agent acts, but such categorical oppositions do not seem to effectively model acts of choosing. An individual Khant experiences a sense of participating in several social identities, each providing a context for forming intentio…

Crisis, Conversion, and Conflict: Evangelical Christianity, Rapid Change, and the Eastern Khanty
This article discusses preliminary findings from our research into the activity of evangelical missionaries among the Khanty of Surgut region, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. Our aim is to begin to define the nature and the scale of recent developments in the religious life among the eastern Khanty; to understand why evangelical missionary activity among the Khanty has met with some success; to discover how the conflicts it precipitates make visib…

National communities, native land tenure, and self‐determination among the Eastern Khanty
Field work conducted among the Eastern Khanty between 1993 and 1996 disclosed that patterns of land use, community development, and political activity among the Eastern Khanty, while motivated in part by external ideologies and the collapse of the Soviet system, also represent transformations of historical models adapted to resist the impact of petroleum development in the post‐Soviet era. The argument is presented and elaborated that, apart from…

Father Juan Greyrobe: Reconstructing Tradition Histories, and the Reliability and Validity of Uncorroborated Oral Tradition
An earlier study by the A. demonstrated the kinds of reliability and validity one could find in Puebloan oral historical traditions of the Pueblo Revolt that are corroborated by documents (Wiget 1982). The A. demonstrates the merits of reconstructing tradition histories to evaluate uncorroborated traditions. From evaluations of seventeen Zuni testimonies of the revolt, the study concludes that a reasonable degree of confidence can be placed in th…

Sayatasha's Night Chant: A Literary Textual Analysis of A Zuni Ritual Poem
When Coronado turned his back from Cibola, he left behind not only the pueblos of Zuni but his dreams of fame and wealth. There was no gold. No one ever saw the wealth within, in the dark, subterranean circular rooms known as kivas, where the splendidly-costumed kachinas in elaborate, week-long ceremonials maintained a complex ritual calendar and danced life and prosperity into Zuni. Probably these rituals, or rumors of them, communicated to subs…
Zuni: Selected Writings of Frank Hamilton Cushing
Frank Hamilton Cushing's stay at Zuni pueblo from 1879 to 1884 made him the first professional anthropologist actually to live with his subjects. Learning the language and winning acceptance as a member not only of the tribe but of the tribal council and the Bow Priesthood, he was the original participant observer and the only man in history to hold the double title of 1st War Chief of Zuni, U. S. Ass't Ethnologist. A pioneer in southwestern ethn…
