Spirits, shamans and communication : interpreting meaning from Iroquoian human effigy pipes

O'Connor, S. Eileen 11 April 2018 (has links)
L'identité amérindienne se dévoile à travers l'interprétation de symboles, lesquels se manifestent dans leur culture matérielle préhistorique. Les pipes effigies exemplifient la nature sacrée et cérémonielle des Iroquois et révèlent la complexité d'un système religieux de chamans, d'esprits gardiens etc. Jusqu'à maintenant, les ethnologues ont négligé de considérer les mécanismes de la dynamique culturelle des Iroquois. Plutôt, ils ont attribué les tendances stylistiques à l'impact de l'arrivée des Européens. Cette recherche abordera cette problématique et mettra en lumière certaines pratiques et croyances culturelles reliées aux pipes effigies Iroquoiens. / Native identity is unveiled through the interpretation of symbols manifested in prehistoric material culture. Effigy smoking pipes exemplify the sacred and ceremonial nature of Iroquois groups by revealing the complexity of their religious system of shamans, guardian spirits, vision quests, etc. Until now, ethnologists have neglected to consider the dynamics of cultural continuity and associated later effigy styles with the inevitable impact European contact exerted in the Northeast. This research will address this problem and elucidate a few of the cultural practices and interpretations associated with Iroquoian effigy pipes. / Québec Université Laval, Bibliothèque 2013
