Action anthropology—a creative
spark of social science
My university studies of
action anthropology began as a student of Dr. Karl Schlesier. He hired me as
work/study research assistant, also for Dr. Dorothy Billings.
In fieldwork, I recorded an
interview with Edward Red Hat, Keeper of the Cheyenne Sacred Arrows. I asked
what message he would give students. The transcript of his response “Message from
the Tsistsistas-Cheyenne Arrow Keeper, Edward Red Hat, I, To All students” is
on the wikidot link:
My first thesis Notes from the Tipi compiled literary
and theoretical background of action anthropology. My graduate thesis showed
the application and results of action anthropology with the Southern Cheyenne up
to 1980. This I learned by doing—theory and practice, what has become
essentially Service Learning the history of a bioregion. http://www.angelfire.com/ks2/hipp/
