Medicine Pipe RitualsRecorded by Phonograph at Museum
The New York exhibit on plains Indians at the American Museum of Natural History features a Blackfoot medicine pipe. Dr. Clark Wissler records prayers and songs, aided by The Bear One, a former pipe keeper who explains how the bundle opens during thunder in spring and how the rituals endure. The Bear One sings for the phonograph but warns against trivializing the prayers. After delays and warnings, he resumes recording, recounting a dream that leads to transferring the pipe bundle to a white man, arranged with Wissler.
