Viac o knihe

The significance of song in the Seneca Iroquois culture is explored through the Little Water Medicine Society, which meets biannually to revitalize its medicine bundles inherited from 18th-century war parties. William N. Fenton provides a detailed account of the unique ceremonies that play a vital role in preserving both medicinal practices and cultural heritage within this often-overlooked aspect of Iroquois tradition. The book highlights the importance of these rituals in connecting past and present generations.
