Other Words, Volume 39: American Indian Literature, Law, and Culture Hardcover - 2001

by Jace Weaver


From the publisher

Eloh', a Cherokee word, is usually translated by anthropologists as religion, but it also simultaneously encompasses history, culture, knowledge, law, and land. In this provocative work, Jace Weaver interlaces these seemingly disparate meanings to form a coherent approach to Native American Studies.

In nineteen interrelated chapters, Weaver presents a range of experiences shared by native peoples in the Americas, from the distant past to the uncertain future. He examines Indian creative output, from oral tradition to the postmodern wordplay of Gerald Vizenor, and brings to light previously overlooked texts. Weaver also tackles up-to-the-minute issues, including environmental crises, Native American spirituality, repatriation of Indian remains and cultural artifacts, and international human rights.

First line

Leslie Marmon Silko has written: The following statement, 'All existence is meaningless' is actually full of meaning; that is the irony of language.
