- Title
OTHER THAN THE INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS: THE DANE-ZAA INDIANS AND THE VISION QUEST.
- Authors
Martínez, David
- Abstract
The Dane-zaa vision quest, as viewed through the legend of Swan, who originally "set the world right," and vision quest narratives, demonstrates a uniquely Dane-zaa concept of dreams. Specifically, the Dane-zaa example suggests two important points: First, that Indigenous dreaming practices must necessarily be analyzed according to locally generated values and beliefs; secondly, that the human ability to dream-as well as acquire visions-may be "controlled" by the individual for the sake of obtaining vital knowledge about one's environment.
