The Spirit and the Sky presents a survey of the ethnoastronomy of the nineteenth-century Lakota and relates Lakota astronomy to their cultural practices and beliefs. The center of Lakota belief is the unfathomable and sacred nature of the world in which they live and of the stars above--extraordinary and wakhaÌn (mysterious)--both of which constitute an integral part of this holistic world. Mark Hollabaugh offers a detailed analysis of all aspects of Lakota culture that have a bearing on their astronomy, including telling time, Lakota names for the stars and constellations as they appeared on the Great Plains, and the phenomena of meteor showers, eclipses, and the aurora borealis. Hollabaugh's explanation of the cause of the aurora that occurred at the death of Black Elk in 1950 is a new contribution to ethnoastronomy."--Dust jacket. 650 0 $a Lakota cosmology. 650 0 $a Astronomy $z Great Plains $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Indian astronomy $z Great Plains. 650 0 $a Indian cosmology. 650 0 $a Cosmology $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Astronomy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00819673 650 7 $a Cosmology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00880600 650 7 $a Indian astronomy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969046 650 7 $a Indian cosmology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969090 650 7 $a Lakota cosmology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01148334 651 7 $a Great Plains. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240567 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 7 $a Lakota $2 gnd 650 7 $a Kosmologie $2 gnd 650 7 $a Astronomie $2 gnd 651 7 $a Great Plains $2 gnd 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 710 2 $a Indiana University, Bloomington. $b American Indian Studies Research Institute. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hollabaugh, Mark. $t Spirit and the sky. $d Lincoln : University of Nebraska Press, [2017] $z 9781496201454 $w (DLC) 2016048204 830 0 $a Studies in the anthropology of North American Indians. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020816.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201103012332.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20180426011452.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B23476B6491811E8A2116E4897128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
