Samenvatting
"This is a monumental work that contextualizes what might be called Cherokee 'religion,' but goes deeper than that. Crafted over years of collaborations between academic and Cherokee knowledge holders, this is going to be a highly regarded classic of the history of religions."—Philip Arnold, Associate Professor of Religion and Native American and Indigenous Studies, Syracuse University, and President, Indigenous Values Initiative
" People of Kituwah is a major contribution to the study of the Cherokee ethos. John Loftin and Benjamin Frey offer a comprehensive study of a much-neglected subject—Eastern Cherokee spirituality—by examining the mythic context from which Cherokee religious beliefs evolved and were historically practiced. A scholarly work which challenges modern misconceptions regarding the monolithic nature of Cherokees' religion, historical attitude toward female menstruation, and belief in multiple souls and in the afterlife."—Alan Kilpatrick, Professor Emeritus of American Indian Studies, San Diego State University
According to Cherokee tradition, the place of creation is Kituwah, located at the center of the world and home to the most sacred and oldest of all beloved, or mother, towns. Just by entering Kituwah, or indeed any village site, Cherokees reexperience the creation of the world, when the water beetle first surfaced with a piece of mud that later became the island on which they lived. People of Kituwah is a comprehensive account of the spiritual worldview and lifeways of the Eastern Cherokee people, from the creation of the world to today. Building on vast primary and secondary materials, native and non-native, this book provides a window into not only what the Cherokees perceive and understand—their notions of space and time, marriage and love, death and the afterlife, healing and traditional medicine, and rites and ceremonies—but also how their religious life evolved both before and after the calamitous coming of colonialism. Through the collaborative efforts of John D. Loftin and Benjamin E. Frey, this book offers an in-depth understanding of Cherokee culture and society.
