Specificatii
Shrouded in the lore of legendary Indians, Mt. Timpanogos beckons
the urban populace of Utah. And yet, no Indian legend graced the
mount until Mormon settlers conjured it--once they had displaced
the local Indians, the Utes, from their actual landmark, Utah Lake.
On Zion's Mount tells the story of this curious shift. It is a
quintessentially American story about the fraught process of making
oneself native in a strange land. But it is also a complex tale of
how cultures confer meaning on the environment--how they create
homelands.Only in Utah did Euro-American settlers conceive of
having a homeland in the Native American sense--an endemic
spiritual geography. They called it Zion. Mormonism, a religion
indigenous to the United States, originally embraced Indians as
Lamanites, or spiritual kin. On Zion's Mount shows how,
paradoxically, the Mormons created their homeland at the expense of
the local Indians--and how they expressed their sense of belonging
by investing Timpanogos with Indian meaning. This same pattern was
repeated across the United States. Jared Farmer reveals how
settlers and their descendants (the new natives) bestowed Indian
place names and recited pseudo-Indian legends about those
places--cultural acts that still affect the way we think about
American Indians and American landscapes.
