Been playing with the Ricoh GR IIIx for a couple weeks now, and I have been using some of the film simulations from Ricoh Recipes, trying to come up with a Double-X, and have something that kinda looks like Flic Elektra 100 (Kodak Aerial) and lastly one that kinda looks Fuji 400ish.

jean fucking usher manages to take a single source from like 1939 on potlatch among the Tsimshian and wilfully reinterpret it so badly that i couldn't figure out if the endnotes had somehow gotten mixed up during printing.

usher confidently says this of potlatches: "As Garfield has emphasized, many potlatches 'were given for no other reason than to give the host an opportunity to display his wealth and insult his guests in speech and song.'" (39)

so now i go to look up Viola Garfield's book on the Tsimshian, which i'm thankful the university of washington has digitized and made public. first i couldn't even find that quotation, then i realized it's in a section that's (imo) pretty clearly describing a ceremonial use of 'insults' that came along with various challenges - you get roasted if you can't finish a huge amount of food, etc. garfield's discomfort is clear in her analysis, but imo it's actually better than usher's, especially considering the additional decades' worth of time and contact with Indigenous people that usher would have to build a better analysis.

garfield describes what she's seeing, usher just takes the most damning quotation and leaves it at that.

then she goes on to talk about how the practice of potlatch helped mold the minds of Northwest coast Indigenous people to be amenable to capitalism, in the most racist train of thought available.

source: William Duncan of Metlakatla by Jean Usher, and Tsimshian Class and Society by Viola Garfield (1939). the relevant section in Garfield is around page 208.

please note: if you don't want to see further discussion of this book, please block the tag 'jean usher metlakatla'.

(EN) Historical item of the week⌛️ Totem Pole Totem poles are carved wood sculptures that can be found in western Canada and western United States. Its name comes from the word odoodem which roughly translates to “ kinship group”in the indigenous Algonquian languages. The Totem poles were created by indigenous communities such as the Haida, Tlingit, Tsimshian, Kwakwaka'wakw, and Nuu-chah-nulth. Totem poles were described by French explorers from the 18th century, but developed in their complex and colorful form in the 19th century, showing complex figures from nature and mythology, being famous especially for representing the legendary Thunderbird. You can find them in various places, such as the Thunderbird Park in Victoria, British Columbia.

(ES) Objeto histórico de la semana⌛️ Pilar Totem Seguro has visto esto en varias películas. Los pilares Tótem son esculturas talladas en madera que pueden encontrarse en la región occidental de Canadá y Estados Unidos. Su nombre viene de la palabra odoodem que más o menos traduce “clan familiar” en las lenguas indígenas algonquinas. Los Tótem fueron creados por comunidades indígenas como la Haida, Tlingit, Tsimshian, Kwakwaka'wakw y Nuu-chah-nulth. Los Tótem fueron descritos por exploradores franceses desde el siglo XVIII, pero se desarrollaron en su forma compleja y colorida desde el siglo XIX, mostrando figuras complejas de la naturaleza y la mitología, siendo famosos especialmente por representar el legendario Pájaro de trueno. Puedes encontrarlos en varios lugares, como el parque del pájaro de Trueno en Victoria, en la Columbia Británica.

Raven rattle - Native American (Tsimshian) - 19th century

Most often associated with shamanic practices on the Northwest Coast, raven rattles are held oriented with the bird's beak pointing down when used in dance. Additionally, rattles like this are used to channel a shaman's spirit guide and can be used in healing ceremonies. Much of the symbolism associated with this rattle comments on the transmission of power from one figure to the next—the raven to humankind in general (as oral tradition states) and the kingfisher to the prone figure on the raven's back. The prone figure is personified with a face of a wolf, perhaps another guide of the owner of this rattle. Rattles are considered extremely personal objects and bear specific symbolism and power known only by those who understand their meaning. As symbols of power, rattles are also kept by clan leaders. Carved in two pieces and assembled using wooden pins to secure the halves, a rattle usually contains small stones or seeds. Polychrome adornment exhibits the pale blue pigmentation common during the late nineteenth century. It is common for raven rattles to be further adorned with feathers, fur, and beads, particularly along the seam of the two halves and at the handle base.
