520 1 $a"In The Anguish of Snails, Toelken draws on performance theory, his influential ideas about cultural worldviews, and an emphasis on collaborative work with tradition bearers to speculate about, discover, and find insight in Native American visual and material arts, dance, oral tradition (story and song), humor, and patterns of thinking and discovery." "While many Native Americans claim exclusive rights and access to those traditions they hold sacred or fear will be misappropriated or misinterpreted, their cultures are mostly open to view from outside. Respect, sensitive observation, and careful listening are often all that are needed to access and understand the patterns of their cultural expressions. Toelken has packed his book with examples and anecdotes drawn from decades of living and working with Indians and their communities. As he has shown time and again in earlier works, his analysis is thoughtful, his observations acute, and his ideas compelling."--BOOK JACKET.
