Berres, Thomas Edward 2015-09-25T22:41:06Z 2015-09-25T22:41:06Z 10000-01-01 1998 1998 This study refutes the established belief that Oneota culture was dominated by a Cahokia ideology or the ability of Cahokia chiefly lords or Oneota male elite to exert control over populations. Instead, power is examined in its ambiguity and heterogeneity. Using ethnographic, ethnohistoric, and archaeological data, all men and women in small-scale Native societies of the Prairie Peninsula bioregion and its environs are shown to share power constrained by tradition and obtained through visions. Dreams provide inspiration to create imagery in artwork and ritual that reflects their cosmology and ideology. Native cosmology in the Prairie Peninsula is one of ancient tradition as expressed in the content of various artistic media concerning the supernatural power of the upperworld, the Thunderbird, and thus not directly related to the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex and a presumed Cahokia connection.
