SynopsisThe Midwinter ceremonial--the longest and most complex of the rituals of the Longhouse religion--is examined here in three parts. Following a short cultural history of the Iroquois and a description of the present geographical location of the various longhouses and tribes, Elisabeth Tooker discusses the principles of Iroquois ritualism. The second part of the book is devoted to detailed accounts of the Midwinter ceremonial as it is performed today at six Iroquois longhouses. The third part presents the historical perspective of the ceremony through excerpts from writings of Roman Catholic and Protestant missionaries, captives, travelers, local residents, and anthropologists., This work examines the Midwinter ceremonial, the longest and most complex ritual of the Longhouse religion, in three parts. It looks at the principles of Iroquois ritualism, detailed accounts of the ritual as it is performed nowadays and its historical context.
