Cheyenne Tipi Notes is about a detailed description by anthropologist and ethnographer James Mooney of Southern Cheyenne women tanning cow hides for a historic reproduction of a 19th century hide tipi, between April 28th and June 2nd, 1903, at the Darlington Indian Agency, Oklahoma Territory.

Produktbeschreibung
Cheyenne Tipi Notes is about a detailed description by anthropologist and ethnographer James Mooney of Southern Cheyenne women tanning cow hides for a historic reproduction of a 19th century hide tipi, between April 28th and June 2nd, 1903, at the Darlington Indian Agency, Oklahoma Territory. What sets this historical record apart from others is that the tipi still exists, perfectly preserved but buried away and virtually forgotten in the underground artifact catacombs of the Chicago Field Museum 115 years later. An experienced tanner himself, author Jaime Jackson not only found Mooney's extant notes at the Smithsonian Institution, and then transcribed them, but found his way to the Field Museum to examine the tipi himself. Putting the two together, Jackson has disentombed and interpreted what happened a century ago, bringing back to life an ancient craft that was central to Plains Indian culture. Cheyenne Tipi Notes is a companion monograph to Jackson's related work, Buckskin Tanner, which provides a step by step account of Plains Indian tanning, including what Indian tanners did to prepare bison hides for clothing and their tipis.

Autorenporträt
Jaime Jackson is the author of many books. His first book, The Canvas Tipi, published in 1982, provided readers with templates for making their own tipi based on those he made for people in his industrial sewing shop he ran in the 1970s. His first book about horses, The Natural Horse: Lessons From the Wild (1992), was based on his research of America's wild, free-roaming horses. It is credited as the foundational work that gave birth to the modern "natural horse care" revolution. His most current book, Horse Trek-Into the Mystic details his extraordinary ten year journey leading to his book The Natural Horse.
