Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Journal of American Ethnology and Archaeology, 1892, Vol. 2 Visits to Zuni Pueblo in the summers of 1889-90 opened my mind to the great field for research which the study of religious ceremonials among the sedentary Indian tribes of the Southwest presents. Although the article on the Zuni summer ceremonials, which was published as a result of those visits, was confined to descriptions of the public celebrations, I knew when my observations were made that there were still more important secret ceremonials going on simultaneously with those which I described, in the estufas, to which I was denied entrance. The novelty of the work, my ignorance of the Zuni tongue, and other circumstances combined to make my maiden ethnological publication more or less fragmentary and incomplete. Finding the task of winning the confidence of the Zunis to such an extent as to enable me to witness their secret celebrations was a very difficult one, and learning that possibly a more primitive representation existed in the neighboring Tusayan pueblos, I concluded to make an effort, if opportunity presented itself, to study the ceremonials of these people, about whom less was known than the Zunis. I resolved to make my home with the Tusayan people for a considerable time, and to endeavor, by winning their confidence, to study the ceremonial side of their religion.
