Book excerpt: Geared to young readers, but suitable for all ages, THE HOOP OF PEACE shows by drawings & photographs how the Indian hoop dance is performed. It begins with a fascinating story of how a Lakota Indian, Kevin Locke, who from childhood had dreamed of becoming a hoop dancer, learned the art & many of its secret tricks from one of his friends. It was lucky that he did as there are very few of the traditional hoop dancers left & this friend passed on soon afterward. The book provides fascinating insight into the hoop dance & how the hoop, a circle, symbolizes peace to the Lakota & that each circular pattern in Locke's hoop dance represents something from nature such as a butterfly, eagle, flower, sun & the moon. One Holy Man of the Lakota, Black Elk, had a vision years ago of a time in the future when the then broken hoop of the Lakota would be mended & interlocked with the hoops of many other nations, intertwined in one great circle representing the hoop of mankind. He depicts this world hoop, where the sacred tree blossoms anew in multi-colored splendor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on Indigenous methodologies, this book uses a close analysis of James R. Walker’s 1917 monograph on the Lakota Sun Dance to explore how the Sun Dance communal ritual complex – the most important Lakota ceremony – creates moral community, providing insights into the cosmology and worldview of Lakota tradition. The book uses Walker’s primary source to conduct a reading of the Sun Dance in its nineteenth-century context through the lenses of Lakota metaphysics, cosmology, ontology, and ethics. The author argues that the Sun Dance constitutes a cosmic ethical drama in which persons of all types – human and nonhuman – come together in reciprocal actions and relationships. Drawing on contemporary animist theory and a perspectivist approach that uses Lakota worldview assumptions as the basis for analysis, the book enables a richer understanding of the Sun Dance and its role in the Lakota moral world. Offering a nuanced understanding that centers Lakota views of the sacred, this book will be relevant to scholars of religion and animism, and all those interested in Native American cultures and lifeways.
