Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Coyote is easily the most popular character in the stories of Indian tribes from Canada to Mexico. This volume contains seventeen coyote tales collected and translated by Father Berard Haile, O.F.M., more than half a century ago. The original Navajo transcriptions are included, along with notes. The tales show Coyote as a warrior, a shaman, a trickster; a lecher, a thief; a sacrificial victim, and always as the indomitable force of life. He is the paradoxical hero and scamp whose adventures inspire laughter or awe, depending upon what shape he takes in a given story. In his introduction to Navajo Coyote Tales, Karl W. Luckert considers Coyote mythology in a theoretical and historical framework. Suitable for the casual student of Navajo culture, religion, or mythology as well as for the scholar, this title includes tales that show Coyote as a warrior, a shaman, a trickster; a lecher, a thief; a sacrificial victim, and always as the indomitable force of life. It considers Coyote mythology in a theoretical and historical framework. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Haile's introduction: 'The present ceremony belongs to the chantway series among Navajo ceremonials, and is not assigned to the hochoi group, or Ghostway ceremonials. In earlier days it was most likely performed as a major ceremonial, and efforts were always made to invite singers of this rite to corral dances of any description. A sandpainting is still made on rare occasions, as (formerly), when a boy and girl would imagine that the alóól or specialty of the toee, which they had represented, had caused sickness. I found this painting in the Wheelwright collection? Further details on such dancers (alóól) could not be obtained. In fact very little is heard of the ceremony today and, no doubt, it must now be classed among minor ceremonials which are only performed occasionally. Undoubtedly, the disappearance of the ceremonial has been gradual and, as the informant stated, it is now largely confined to the cutting of prayersticks. With these particulars his account shows much familiarity and, fortunately, he has been able to give us many details of this phase in Navajo ritualism. He has also been able to present a fairly complete picture of the entire scheme of this vanishing ceremonial. Its connection with Hailway is suggested in the first part of the narrative, but details for comparison between the two ceremonials are not yet at hand. Similarly, the affinities with Downy Featherway are unmistakable. On the other hand, its scheme is entirely distinctive. Water itself, water fowl, water animals and plants are brought to the foreground as a requisite for curing injuries inflicted by this basic element. Originally, venereal and skin diseases must have sought relief in this healing ceremonial. Evidently it overlapped to some extent with the Prostitutingway, as the story of the non-sunlight-struck Pueblo girls seems to indicate.? The informant, however, gives us no further details. Apparently the story is introduced to account for such prayer-sticks as those of Toad, of Spider, of Wrens and White Butterfly. Although, the relation of some of these to the element of water is distant. Whatever the Water Monster may be, this personified being is made singer and author of the ceremonial and it is, apparently, typical of water's power to 'draw persons into it' as its name implies. Dreams relating to 'falling into the water' are ascribed to this being. Dreams that relate to drowning are ascribed chiefly to water horses, which seem to refer to water's power of holding its victim. At that, the informant is not offering us a complete account, but offers details with which he is familiar. These, as said, relate chiefly to the prayersticks. For the translation and many additional suggestions we are indebted to Albert Sandoval of Lukachukai, Arizona.'. …

Our stock was aquired from the series editor, Karl Luckert, who purchased the publisher's backstock. 'Upward Moving or Emergence Way is one of the central healing ceremonials of the Navajo Indians. Upward Moving Way-relating the origin of the Navajos, their emergence from 'down there' into this world-also represents the attempt of Navajo hunter shamans to come to terms with the mythology of the Pueblo farmers they encountered when, centuries ago, the Navajos migrated into the American Southwest. In its plant-oriented mysticism, and even in its inconsistencies, this text offers a stunning instance of the way the culture of the Navajos was adapted to their home in the Southwest. This volume publishes fully, for the first time, the ceremonial as Father Berard Haile recorded it in English in 1908. It describes as well a five-night performance of the ceremonial that Father Berard observed in 1908 and includes sketches by the informant and drawings of elements of the sand paintings associated with the ritual.'. …

'The Ajilee, called by Father Haile 'Prostitutionway' and by Gladys Reichard 'Excessway,' is a curing ceremony for what Luckert calls 'general craziness, made manifest in sexual passion, prostitution, divorce, wildness, shyness, disorientation, hallucination, intoxication, restlessness, roaming, and Anglo American mobility'. The theme of the Ajilee is that the wildness of game animals can be transmitted to human beings, who eat their meat, thereby making them crazy and given to excessive behavior. For a society that values control and moderation in behavior, any excessive or reckless behavior becomes a kind of sickness. The two versions of the Ajilee story given by Luckert are different aspects of the basic theme of excess craziness. The Claus Chee Sonny version in A Navajo Bringing-Home Ceremony is a curing rite associated with the Enemyway tradition, i.e., the exorcism of evil. The Slim Curly version in Love-Magic and Butterfly People is associated not only with curing, but the power of the chant might also be used to attract the power to compel other people's behavior through Love-Magic, a form of sorcery. The juxtaposition of the two versions is interesting as an example of the two sides of the coin of power as perceived in Navajo chant practice. The Chanter through his knowledge of myth and ceremony compels the attendance of the dieties at the ceremony and the release of their powers. Those powers may be used in a positive sense to attract good to the patient, or they may be used in the exorcistic sense to drive evil forces from the patient's body. But the power may also be manipulated by the singer for his own ends, and thus the singer may be able to practice witchcraft to cause negative (in this case compulsive) powers over others.' (Clara Sue Kidwell review).…
