Krupat covers a variety of oral performances of loss and renewal, including the Condolence Rites of the Iroquois and the memorial ceremony of the Tlingit people known as koo'eex, examining as well a number of Ghost Dance songs, which have been reinterpreted in culturally specific ways by many different tribal nations. Krupat treats elegiac "farewell" speeches of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in considerable detail, and comments on retrospective autobiographies by Black Hawk and Black Elk. Among contemporary Native writers, he looks at elegiac work by Linda Hogan, N. Scott Momaday, Gerald Vizenor, Sherman Alexie, Maurice Kenny, and Ralph Salisbury, among others. Despite differences of language and culture, he finds that death and loss are consistently felt by Native peoples both personally and socially: someone who had contributed to the People's well-being was now gone. Native American elegiac expression offered mourners consolation so that they might overcome their grief and renew their will to sustain communal life"--$cPublisher's Web site. 606 $aIndian literature$zUnited States$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFolk literature, Indian$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$xIndian authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aElegiac poetry, American$xIndian authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIndians of North America$xFuneral customs and rites 606 $aLoss (Psychology) in literature 606 $aDeath in literature 606 $aGrief in literature 615 0$aIndian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFolk literature, Indian$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xIndian authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aElegiac poetry, American$xIndian authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xFuneral customs and rites. 615 0$aLoss (Psychology) in literature. 615 0$aDeath in literature. 615 0$aGrief in literature. 676 $a810.9897 700 $aKrupat$b Arnold$0550302 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786200803321 996 $a"That the people might live"$93780097 997 $aUNINA
