The Four Hills of Life: Northern Arapaho Knowledge and Life MovementFor many generations the Northern Arapaho people thrived over a vast area of the North American Plains and Rocky Mountains. For more than a century they have lived on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming. The reservation, the fourth largest in the country, is surrounded by vast rural lands and has been largely ignored by outsiders. As a result, the Northern Arapahos have been in some ways more isolated from mainstream American society than most
For many generations the Northern Arapaho people thrived over a vast area of the North American Plains and Rocky Mountains. For more than a century they have lived on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming. The reservation, the fourth largest in the country, is surrounded by vast rural lands and has been largely ignored by outsiders. As a result, the Northern Arapahos have been in some ways more isolated from mainstream American society than most Native groups. In The Four Hills of Life Jeffrey D. Anderson masterfully draws together many different aspects of the Northern Arapahos' world--myth, language, art, ritual, identity, and history--to offer a compelling picture of a culture that has endured and changed over time. Arapaho culture is seen dynamically through the ways that members of the community in the past and present experience their unique world in everyday life. Anderson shows that Northern Arapaho unity and identity from the nineteenth century through today are derived less from political centralization than from a shared system of ritual practices. The heart of this system is a complex of rituals called the beyoowu'u (all the lodges), which includes the Offerings Lodge, now more commonly known as the Sun Dance--a ritual still central to Northern Arapaho life. According to Anderson, the beyoowu'u and other life transition ceremonies work together to mold time and experience for the Arapahos, a life movement that also helps create social identities and transmit vital cultural knowledge. Anderson also offers an in-depth study of the problems that Euro-American society continues to impose on reservation life and the empowered responses of the Northern Arapahos to these problems.Binding Type: Paperback

This watch is soooo nice
Color: all gold
I bought this as a Christmas present for me. It is so nice... OLEVS makes the nicest watches. Their stuff always looks like a million bucks. I frequent their stuff—lots of compliments. I am so pleased to have self-winding watches. I had a Rolex Daytona. It was self-winding.

High quality and great presentation
Color: 2 Pack (M+L)
I got the 2 pack in black. The measurements listed are accurate. I measured my gift before ordering and loved having 2 sizes to choose which made for the better final look. The black is a true black, not light or faded, and the texture and thickness of the material made it look so high quality - way nicer than flimsy drugstore gift bags. Love that the handles are ribbons instead of the cheap stiff paper or rope-like ones. The included tissue paper was a perfect finishing touch and made for an impressive finished look.

Very nice but not wide
Color: Large Black
The quality is nice. The height is great but the width is not great. Good for small clothing like a T-shirt or small gifts.

Exactly what you expect--and that's good if you need a black gift bag!
Color: XLarge Black
This wasn't a fancy or elaborate product, but it provided exactly what I needed: a large, black gift bag with a decent supply of tissue paper! As expected, which was nice!
