Since the early Ottoman period, elite women provided charity for the less fortunate, often in service of zakat, the granting of alms—one of the five pillars of Islam. By the mid-1860s, when the documents in this cluster begin, women in the Anatolian Peninsula, and throughout the outer reaches of the Ottoman Empire, were providing new forms of charity in starting and running orphanages, soup kitchens, hospitals, and girls’ schools.

The Powwow Interviews: Salish, Blackfeet, and Intertribal Idaho Falls

In 2008, I began a documentary film on powwow cultures of the inland Northwest. I knew a handful of people within the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT), and within the Blackfeet Confederacy. They introduced me to those within their tribe whom they thought could be most helpful. Interviewing the people I met became a process of discovery; certain issues emerged in conversation as more charged, more deeply felt. Narrators emphasized the importance of cultural stewardship, describing how they sustained and perpetuated tribal values, language, and practices. Embedded within this discourse were stories of innovation and resilience, as people brought elements of their tribal cultures forward in new forms and venues that spoke to changing community needs. I focused the film on two elements of syncretic innovation-- adoptions and singing at the drum. In both cases, traditional practices were brought forward and reshaped to fit new contingencies, ensuring the continuity of tribal values. In a larger sense, the stories I heard about adoptions and singing at the drum illustrate the flexibility and persistence of Native North American cultures.
