- W2317007263 abstract "William N. Fenton extracts a cultural rule from Iroquois mythology: No. 9 is a regular way: life and customary procedures are fairly established (151). His essay examines three major mythic selections from the League of the Iroquois and arrives at a list of twenty cultural observations. Number 6, for instance, is The Law of the Kettle dealing with hospitality, while number 10 explains the term Orenda (supernatural power) and number 15 has to do with The column of smoke, which is a vehicle for sending up words: Smoke itself symbolizes thought, desire, community, and government. Tobacco is the 'word' and closes the contract (151). The arrived at themes do appear sensible, understandable and thought-provoking. They capture aspects of a powerful woodland culture that now seems as distant and re-tween modern Native American mote as, perhaps, e life and literary material of the the printed page ts deeper issues related to each end once appeared to them. A small portion of these people, or a remnant, found their way to Northeastern Oklahoma. In my youth I sat through some long summer afternoons at a place called Cowskin while an elderly Seneca man stood beneath a non-enclosed longhouse and spoke in his language. He was giving out names to children and to the newly born, as well as sending up names, perhaps, to be remembered by the creator. The process seemed never-ending as the column of thin tobacco smoke went up beneath the trees. It seemed impossible at the time that this peaceful scene would slowly fade, that it would eventually exist only as number nine or number fifteen in someone's scholarly writings about the Native American's traditional literatures. There is a regular way. Of course, there is. But other thoughts nowadays also come to the surface, as in the poem Going to Town, by a Native American poet. What do we have left except the mirage of sound, frogs creaking over the night land. The black walnut trees are gone, stolen during the night and transformed in the handles of guns (Hogan 53)" @default.
