There is no overemphasising that most, if not all, African cultures have at least some rudimentary aspects of conservation in the modern sense. These aspects constitute the strong colours that could be used to create an indelible picture of the importance of conservation on the continent. 606 $aForest management$zAfrica 606 $aForestry and community 606 $aSustainable forestry 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aForest management 615 0$aForestry and community. 615 0$aSustainable forestry. 676 $a333.75096 700 $aInyang$b Ekpe$f1963-$0888608 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463491203321 996 $aThe forest$92205066 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04987nam 2201141Ia 450 001 9910783670703321 005 20230617003517.0 010 $a1-282-36058-2 010 $a9786612360589 010 $a0-520-94172-1 010 $a1-59875-801-2 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520941724 035 $a(CKB)1000000000246836 035 $a(EBL)240963 035 $a(OCoLC)475955440 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000162789 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11149522 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000162789 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10208074 035 $a(PQKB)11086711 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC240963 035 $a(OCoLC)62208648 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse30868 035 $a(DE-B1597)520087 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520941724 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL240963 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10091266 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL236058 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000246836 100 $a20050426d2005 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#---|u||u 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aGhost dances and identity$b[electronic resource] $eprophetic religion and American Indian ethnogenesis in the nineteenth century /$fGregory E.

The Ghost Dance has become a metaphor for the death of American Indian culture, but as Gregory Smoak argues, it was not the desperate fantasy of a dying people but a powerful expression of a racialized "Indianness." While the Ghost Dance did appeal to supernatural forces to restore power to native peoples, on another level it became a vehicle for the expression of meaningful social identities that crossed ethnic, tribal, and historical boundaries. Looking closely at the Ghost Dances of 1870 and 1890, Smoak constructs a far-reaching, new argument about the formation of ethnic and racial identity among American Indians. He examines the origins of Shoshone and Bannock ethnicity, follows these peoples through a period of declining autonomy vis-a-vis the United States government, and finally puts their experience and the Ghost Dances within the larger context of identity formation and emerging nationalism which marked United States history in the nineteenth century. 606 $aGhost dance$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aShoshoni Indians$xRites and ceremonies 606 $aShoshoni Indians$xReligion 606 $aShoshoni Indians$xEthnic identity 606 $aBannock Indians$xRites and ceremonies 606 $aBannock Indians$xReligion 606 $aBannock Indians$xEthnic identity 610 $a19th century american history. 610 $a19th century native american history. 610 $aamerican indian ghost dance movement. 610 $aamerican indians. 610 $abannocks. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aethnogenesis. 610 $aghost dance. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aidentity. 610 $aindigenous cultures. 610 $aindigenous peoples. 610 $amissionary. 610 $anationalism. 610 $anative american culture. 610 $anative americans. 610 $anative peoples. 610 $anew religion. 610 $apolitics. 610 $aprophets. 610 $arace in america. 610 $areligion. 610 $areservation life. 610 $ashamans. 610 $ashoshones. 610 $asocial identity. 610 $aspiritual. 610 $asupernatural forces. 610 $aunited states government. 610 $aunited states of america. 615 0$aGhost dance$xHistory 615 0$aShoshoni Indians$xRites and ceremonies. 615 0$aShoshoni Indians$xReligion. 615 0$aShoshoni Indians$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aBannock Indians$xRites and ceremonies. 615 0$aBannock Indians$xReligion. 615 0$aBannock Indians$xEthnic identity. 676 $a299.7/98/09034 686 $aLC 33610$2rvk 700 $aSmoak$b Gregory E.$f1962-$0878956 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783670703321 996 $aGhost dances and identity$93860656 997 $aUNINA
