The practice of ceremony offers profound ways to connect the land and its inhabitants, fostering deep relationships that span millennia. While ceremonial rituals can be adorned with intricate and spectacular regalia, they can also involve simple tools, such as a plastic bucket for harvesting huckleberries or a river rock that holds heat for sweat.
The Art of Ceremony provides a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the nine federally recognized tribes in Oregon. Through engaging conversations with tribal representatives, the book delves into their unwavering commitment to ceremonial practices, recognizing the vital importance of renewing language, art, ecological systems, kinship relations, and political and legal sovereignty.
Vibrant photographs accompany the text, showcasing the intricate connections between land and people at the heart of these practices. Each chapter features specific ceremonies chosen by tribal co-collaborators, such as the Siletz Nee Dosh (Feather Dance), the huckleberry gathering of the Cow Creek Umpqua, and the Klamath Return of C waam (sucker fish) Ceremony. These ceremonies serve as powerful examples of the enduring spirit and resilience of Indigenous communities.
The Art of Ceremony is part of a broader global narrative of Indigenous rights and cultural resurgence in the twenty-first century. It celebrates the power of Indigenous renewal, sustainable connection to the land, and the ethics of responsibility and reciprocity between the earth and all its inhabitants. By shedding light on the rich tapestry of ceremonial practices, the book offers valuable insights into the enduring legacy and resilience of Indigenous cultures.
