Events->Workshops: Thoreau's Focus on American Indians to be Revealed at Aspen Seminar
Posted on Thursday, May 19 @ 09:19:26 PDT (4284 reads)

Edited by Christopher Simmons

ASPEN, Colo. - May 16 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- "Why, then, make so great ado about the Roman and the Greek, and neglect the Indian?," wrote Henry David Thoreau in his Journal in 1857. A missing piece of what shaped this icon and American consciousness will be revealed at a weekend seminar in Aspen, Colorado June 3-5, 2005, entitled "Thoreau and the Evolution of the American Mind: The Next Step."

Thoreau scholar, Bradley P. Dean, Ph.D., will introduce highlights of Henry's 12 "Indian Notebooks," which he said, "includes just under 4,000 manuscript pages, probably to write a book he did not live to publish." They reveal how Thoreau was intrigued by American Indians since his boyhood, and how this involvement influenced his philosophy, according to Native Voices Foundation (NVF).

SOURCE: Saff Writer, Rapid City Journal

ROSEBUD -- The Lakota Studies staff at Sinte Gleska University has been reviving a lost art as they host a Tipi Making Project on the Rosebud Indian Reservation.

A news release from Sinte Gleska said that traditionally, the art of tipi making was practiced by a Lakota "Women's Guild" made up of the most skilled craftswomen in Lakota society. The art was lost when the federal government confined tribal nations to reservations, limiting their access to buffalo hides and trees for tipi poles.

June 16-28, the Lakota Studies Department is offering a course in tipi making, bringing back old ceremonies associated with the art.
