Tired of superficial reading? Get the real skinny on the Zuni,
By This is library bound. Copy of the First Edition. A Rio Grande Classic. First Published in 1904 as Bureau of American Ethnology Report No. 23 for the years1901-1902. Library of Congress Card Catalog No. 74-124509. First Printing 1970 The Rio Grande Press Inc. La Casa Escuela Glorieta, New Mexico - 87535 Also titled "The Zuni Indians: Their Mythology, Esoteric Fraternities, and Ceremonies" by Matilda Coxe Stevenson. Matilda Coxe Evans Stevenson was born 12 MAY 1849 in San Augustine, Texas to parents Alexander H. Evans of Virginia and Maria Coxe Evans of New Jersey. Evans married and accompanied Colonel James Stevenson who was assigned to geological surveys in Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming and Utah. Stevenson's first ethnographic study was of the Ute and Arapaho. In 1879, she as a member of the Bureau of Ethnology, under the direction of John Wesley Powell, spent six months in Zuni and Hopi, collecting ethnographic objects, surveying local archeological sites, gathering materials from caves and shrines and amassing information on various cultural and social aspects of Pueblo life. She advanced with several expeditions. An earlier report was the 1887 publication, "Religious Life of the Zuni Child" for the Fifth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology. 634 pages - 44 color plates - 180 black and white plates - Seven and three-quarter pounds. Well written and in a logical order one could make a full study of just the information on ay one subject: Mythology Anthropic worship and ritual Calendar and clendric ceremonials A'shiwanni (rain priesthood) `Hla'hewe ceremonial for rain and the growth of corn 0'winahai'ye, thanksgiving festival for crops Quadrennial dance of the K'a'nakwe Annual festival of the Sha'läko History, arts, and customs Physical Characters Medical Practice Witchcraft Esoteric fraternities Like the original Grimm's fairy tales the many stories in this book may be a little too graphic for young children but they convey the true Nature of the Zuni. Much of the information never made it into smaller volumes so this book is a must for a more rounded study or understanding of the Zuni.
