SUMMARY:Jay Cravath Lecture: The Music and Ritual of Arizona's Native 
	Americans
DESCRIPTION:  Comparisons of various rituals from Arizona s tribes are
	 explored in this presentation using live and recorded music\, stories
	\, and verse. With four language groups represented\, each group has i
	ts unique musical and ethnographic characteristics as well as interest
	ing similarities. The Great Tellings of the Mohave are descriptions th
	at map journeys to the Mission Tribes\, songs of the Navajo teach mora
	l lessons\, and the Apaches have a ritual component for 'teen dances.'
	 Music is an important part of social life for Arizona s tribes: daily
	 swimming songs of the Pima\, the Yavapai Cricket songs sung during ac
	orn gathering\, and the Apache Old Big Owl Witch Song\, sung to enjoin
	 children to good behavior. This presentation shares and discusses the
	se paintings and archival photographs\, as well as samples of live and
	 recorded music. Jay Cravath is a composer\, writer\, and scholar in t
	he field of music and American Indian studies. Dr. Cravath crafts prog
	rams from these interests into discussions that include stories\, musi
	cal performance\, and dance. His publications include North American I
	ndian Music and Songs for Ancient Days.
