Tu Feb 15 – TALK LARRY ELLIS ethno-folklorist “Ethno-folklorist reading of the Hohokam Chronicles.” Ed. Donald Bahr. pp. 45-74 (Parts 1 and 2)

In 1935, Juan Smith and William Smith Allison, tradition bearers of the Pima tribe of Arizona, narrated and translated their telling of the Pima creation narration. Recorded by anthropologist Julian Hayden and published as The Hohokam Chronicles, the document was re-published in its entirety by ASU anthropologist Donald Bahr, with extensive notes and commentary to clarify the contexts of history and culture that informed the work.

We will explore the earliest of the 36 stories that comprise the Chronicles, beginning with the creation of the cosmos and ending with the coming of corn, a crop integral to the life of the Pima people. I will begin with a brief discussion of the dynamics of Native American oral traditions and contextual material on Pima culture and Smith and Allison’s performance and translation. Afterwards, we will look at the specifics of stories we will be reading.
