About the Art: The Native Americans of the Eastern Woodlands held the spoken word in very high esteem. It was the spoken word that communicated traditions and held their culture together. The history and spiritual beliefs of a nation were preserved from generation to generation by stories. From a very early age native children were taught to listen carefully and remember until they could recount the stories exactly as they heard them. Young men who showed promise as speakers were allowed to observe the councils of the nations. Within their society, to be a skilled orator was considered a very high achievement.
Whether addressing a grand council of many hundreds or conveying a message to only a few, the speaker was given the complete respect and attention of everyone present. The very best of these speakers rose to great prominence within the tribe. Many became Sachems or Chiefs. These Sachems were responsible for the political relations of the nation. With the coming of the Europeans and the necessity for treaties the orators took on an even more important role. When in council with white representatives their ability to argue and persuade often meant the continued survival of their people.
