The Tutelo Spirit Adoption Ceremony Reclothing the Living in the Name of the Dead
In this long out of print work, noted anthropologist
Frank G. Speck (1881-1950) presents an ethnological
study of the Tutelo tribe, which migrated through
colonial Pennsylvania. The book includes the Tutelo
Indians' history in Pennsylvania and a comprehensive
description of the Spirit Adoption Ceremony and
other Tutelo rites and dances. Ethnomusicologist
George Herzog provides transcriptions and an
analysis of Tutelo music.
