Reader Reviews
This review is from: Yuchi Ceremonial Life: Performance, Meaning, and Tradition in a Contemporary American Indian Community (Studies in the Anthropology of North Ame) (Hardcover)
First of all I would like to mention what is missing in the Amazon advertisement for this book. The proceeds from the sale of the book will go to the Yuchi chiefs for the support of their ceremonial grounds. This statement is found inside the front cover of the book. Being of Yuchi descent I would like to provide a review of Mr. Jackson's book. Prior to his book being published there has been a very small amount of information about the Yuchi in print. If you are lucky enough to be able to find and afford what has been printed, it is mostly historical, the ways things were. Not only that, the material has very little comparitive analysis with the neighbors of the Yuchi, then or now. Jason's work is not only helpful in providing an extrodinary account of today's Yuchi but a very detailed comparative analysis of their neighbors. Something that I have yet to find with regards to Yuchi ethnology. Also, this comparison describes how their uniqueness does not support their inclusion into the Muskogee (Creek) Nation and that eventual federal recognition is only a matter of time. Anyone interested in native culture or how alive and well it is even today in the 21st century should take this opportunity with Jason's book. I look forward to seeing Jason at this year's Green Corn Ceremony at Duck Creek and hope that this is but the first of his continued work with and amongst the Yuchi.
