Deward E. Walker Jr.

4.9/5 (11510 ratings)

Description:FROM THE BACK COVER: "Religious disharmony and political contention have had important roles in Nez Perce acculturation. Since the arrival of the first missionaries in the 1830s, the Nez Perce have been subjected to cycles of cultural disruption and discord. Professor Walker discusses the reactions of the Nez Perce to early contact with the Whites and the resultant growth of factions. Confinement to the reservation, conflict between Catholics and Protestants, reservation allotments, and the development of new religious sects all affected acculturation. The effect of politics and political parties is examined, as well as the impact of the Pentecostalists, with their emphasis on the millennium and their tendency toward fragmentation. Walker shows how schisms as a process of change have brought about, and even accelerated, Nez Perce cultural modifications. Acknowledging that divisiveness poses prob!rms for social organizations, he also points out that "it is possible to view factionalism in positive terms when measuring its place in acculturation." Of particular interest is Dr. Robert Hackenberg's foreword, which links Walker's study; with the situation found among other Indian tribes, especially those of the Southwest.Deward E. Walker, Jr., is professor of anthropology at the University of Colorado and has taught at George Washington University, Washington State University, and the University of Idaho.
