The Little Water Medicine Society of the Senecas

Meer over het boek

The significance of song in the Seneca Iroquois culture is explored through the Little Water Medicine Society, which meets biannually to revitalize its medicine bundles inherited from 18th-century war parties. William N. Fenton provides a detailed account of the unique ceremonies that play a vital role in preserving both medicinal practices and cultural heritage within this often-overlooked aspect of Iroquois tradition. The book highlights the importance of these rituals in connecting past and present generations.
