Description

The Midwinter ceremonial--the longest and most complex of the rituals of the Longhouse religion--is examined here in three parts. Following a short cultural history of the Iroquois and a description of the present geographical location of the various longhouses and tribes, Elisabeth Tooker discusses the principles of Iroquois ritualism. The second part of the book is devoted to detailed accounts of the Midwinter ceremonial as it is performed today at six Iroquois longhouses. The third part presents the historical perspective of the ceremony through excerpts from writings of Roman Catholic and Protestant missionaries, captives, travelers, local residents, and anthropologists.

Author Biography:

Elisabeth Tooker is the author of Native North American Spirituality of the Eastern Woodlands: Sacred Myths, Dreams, Vision Speeches, Healing Formulas, Rituals and Ceremonials; Lewis H. Morgan on Iroquois Material Culture; and Ethnography of the Huron Indians, 1615-1649, the latter also published by Syracuse University Press.
