| 摘要 | Sacred art and the ceremony through which such art is created determines the identity of Native American people as individuals within a community and as nations among other Native American nations. Through sacred art and sacred ceremony Native Americans recognize and sustain their identity, pass on a body of ethics to the young, establish their covenants with creation (defined as the totality of the universe), and pay their part in an interdependent universe. On the one hand, sacred art/ceremony has no life without community participation. On the other hand, the community has no life without sacred art/ceremony. Therefore, if misappropriation and trivialization of sacred art/ceremony by those who are not part of the community take place, it cold play havoc with Native Americans, especially those who participate in these ceremonies in order to transform fragmented identities into identities of wholeness. Sacred art/ceremony has nurtured and sustained many Native Americans in recovery from alcohol and drug addiction. For many other Native Americans, sacred art/ceremony has generated self esteem and promoted a return to balanced living within their communities. Consequently, misappropriation of Native American sacred art/ceremony by non-Indians generated the following ethical issues for Native Americans: (1) misrepresentation of Native American identity that is defined and maintained by its sacred art/ceremony; (2) breech of covenant that Native Americans believe to exist throughout creation; (3) propagation of misinformation to non-Indian communities about the identity of Native Americans. Basing my research on Shin'ichi Hisamatsu's, Toshimitsu Hasumi's and Ronald Y. Nakasone's writings on the Buddhist doctrine of Pratítyasamutpáda , as well as on interviews within the Native American community of Oakland, I have developed and interpreted an ethic of sacred art/ceremony, in order to define and clarify what constitutes proper or improper appropriation of Native American sacred art/ceremony. As a result of the development of this ethic, I have formulated ethical guidelines concerning both the proper and improper appropriation of Native American sacred art/ceremony for instructors of ethics, art and ceremony for creators and performers of liturgy, for visual and performance artists and others. |
