"Ceremonies of the Pomo Indians" by S. A. Barrett is an ethnographic study published in the early 20th century. The work delves into the ceremonial practices, organizational structures, and religious rituals of the Pomo Indians, an Indigenous group from Northern California. Barrett meticulously documents various ceremonies, such as the Ghost and Guksu ceremonies, detailing their significance, the roles of officials, and the participation of community members. The opening of the text sets the stage by indicating the transient nature of Pomo ceremonies in the early 20th century, revealing that the essence of these rituals had largely been lost over time. Barrett conveys his experience living among the Pomo from 1892 to 1904, during which he observed the remaining elements of their ceremonial life, gathering information primarily from the tribal elders. The section introduces the general organization of their ceremonies, emphasizing the absence of a formal priesthood and highlighting the important roles of village captains and other officials, such as fire-tenders and head singers, in facilitating these cultural practices.
