1893. In many respects, Alice Fletcher was a typical Victorian
intellectual, articulate, energetic, and active in a variety of
social movements and women's organizations. She began her studies
of American Indian life under the private tutelage of Frederick W.
Putnam, director of Harvard University's Peabody Museum. Fletcher's
long association with the Omaha people began at an 1880 Boston
literary gathering with an introduction to Francis and Susette La
Flesche, the son and daughter of Omaha chief Joseph La Flesche.
Prior to this meeting, her anthropology lectures were primarily
based on library research and a small amount of archaeological
fieldwork. Fletcher decided she wanted to observe Indian culture
directly and made arrangements to visit the Omaha reservation the
following year. Over the next three decades, she traveled
extensively throughout the West, studying not only Omaha traditions
but those of the Pawnee, Sioux, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Chippewa, Oto,
Osage, Nez Perce, Ponca, and Winnebago as well, but she is best
known for her work on Omaha music and culture.

One of the more complex and widespread rituals practiced by Native
American groups focused on the calumet, a sacred pipe with a
feathered shaft. The Calumet Ceremony was a powerful ritual through
which members of another tribe were adopted. It also promoted
social unity within tribes and facilitated contact and trade
between them. Perhaps the most detailed description of a Calumet
Ceremony was recorded near the turn of the century by ethnographer
Alice C. Fletcher. Fletcher witnessed the Hako, a version of the
Calumet Ceremony practiced by the Chaui clan of the Pawnee. With
the invaluable assistance of Tahirussawichi, a Pawnee Ku'rahus or
ceremonial leader, and renowned Indian scholar James R. Murie,
himself a Pawnee, the author describes in marvelous detail the
intricate rhythm and structure of the ceremony. Each song of the
Hako is transcribed, translated, interpreted by the Pawnee
Ku'rahus, and later analyzed by the author. Fletcher concludes that
the Hako promised longevity, fertility, and prosperity to
individuals and worked to insure "friendship and peace" between
clans and tribes. The Hako, originally published in 1904, is
introduced by Helen Myers, an associate professor of music at
Trinity College and the ethnomusicology editor of the New Grove
Dictionary of Music and Musicians.
