Peyote And The Yankton Sioux: The Life And Times Of Sam Necklace,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In Peyote and the Yankton Sioux, Thomas Constantine Maroukis focuses on Yankton Sioux spiritual leader Sam Necklace, tracing his familys history for seven generations to show how Necklace and his family shaped and were shaped by the Native American Church. Sam Necklace was chief priest of the Yankton Sioux Native American Church from 1929 to 1949, and four succeeding generations of his family have been members. As chief priest, Necklace helped firmly establish Peyote religion among the Yanktons, thus maintaining cultural and spiritual autonomy even when the U.S. government denied them, and American Indians generally, political and economic selfdetermination.A sacred plant long considered of divine origin by Mesoamericans, peyotes ritual use spread northward through the American Southwest near the end of the nineteenth century. According to Native beliefs, peyote enabled human beings to communicate with the Creator. Because the message of peyotism resonated with Yankton prereservation beliefs and, at the same time, had parallels with Christianity, Sam Necklace and many other Yanktons supported its acceptance. The Yankton Sioux were among the first in the northern plains to adopt the Peyote religion, which they saw as an essential corpus of spiritual truths.Contrary to what some scholars have claimed, Maroukis explains that Peyotism was adopted because of its visioninducing effects. The Native American Church accepts peyote as a powerful medicinea gift from God with the power to heal.
