Title: The Culture of Alpaca Breeders
Specific Purpose: To inform the audience about the culture of people who breed alpacas.
Introduction
Attention Material: Who can tell me what these are? (picture of alpacas) And who can tell me what purpose they serve? Well, I am hoping that after this presentation, You would be able to know all you need to know about the alpaca.
Thesis Statement/Preview: Today I am going to talk about the culture of alpaca breeders. To better understand the culture, I will inform you about the history of alpacas and their breeders, how to maintain your alpaca, and the uses for alpacas.
(First, let’s take a look at the lives of the alpaca and their breeders!)
Body
I. Alpacas and their breeders have a very distinct and interesting culture that not many people are aware of.
A. The history of Alpacas starts off in the ancient Inca civilization.
1. Here they were vital to the Incan society in South America.
2. They weren’t imported to the United States until 1984.
3. They haven’t spread across the world at all. They have mostly stayed in South America. According to Northwest Alpaca traders, 99% of alpacas still live in Peru, Bolivia and Chile.
4. Alpacas come from the camelid family, along with the camel and llama. Alpacas resemble a small llama.
B. There are two types of alpacas, the Suri and the Huacaya.
1. The only real difference between the two is their fur.
2. The Suri’s coat is longer and straighter, almost like dreadlocks.
3. The Huacaya has tightly bound curls, which makes their coat look fluffy.
C. Here are some Basic facts about Alpacas
1. They are on average 36” tall to the withers. They measure to the wither, which is the ridge between their shoulder blades.
2. They generally weigh between 100 and 200 pounds.
3. The alpaca lifespan is 20 years.
4. They eat hay or grass, but they are also known to eat anything, such as paper or a bottle.
5. They spit. They make noises, like humming or a click, but when they are in a fight or they are frightened, they can make a high-pitched cry, but this is pretty rare.
6. If you are interested in buying one, it could cost anywhere from $100 to $500,000.
D. Moving on, Alpaca breeders are just as important as Alpacas themselves.
1. Most people who breed alpacas use this as their only source of income, although many people also just enjoy them and do it for fun. Yet, it is a lot of work and is considered a full time job.
2. A lot of organizations around the world for Alpaca trainers and breeders. The biggest one is AOBA (Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association). They hold conferences, auctions, training sessions, and online blogs where you can post all sorts of cool information or stories about your own alpaca. Another one is AFCNA (the Alpaca Fiber Cooperative of North America. This organization accepts alpaca fur and turns it into products.
3. Just to name some others: The Alpaca Nation Community Central, The Alpaca ...

7. Origin Legend of the Eagle Dance
• There are many variants to the origin of the Eagle Dance
• parents told their children that they would be carried
away
• William Finley states that such cases are false
• nevertheless these stories appear in the public press

10. Dew Eagle picked
up the log and
carried it aloft to
the crags where it
nests.

13. The boy would crawl out and play with the eaglets while
the great bird was out hunting.
http://us.acidcow.com/pics/20110408/cute_baby_eagles_06.jpg
14. The eaglets grew
up.
http://www.wildnatureimages.com/Baby_Bald_Eagle_Photos.htm
15. One grew big enough for him to mount on its back. It flew
out and returned. It was so strong that he had to have a
club to hit it on the head to weaken it. He had something for
the club. As the bird flew higher, he would strike it. It fell
towards the earth. As it recovered, it flew higher. Now and
again he whacked it. It would fall.
16. These birds were supposed to roam above the clouds and never
come down toward the earth.

17. The boy returned to earth by beating the young eagle on the
head...
18. ...and he related his adventure among the birds who dwell above
the clouds amid high crags in heaven, how among them he
learned the Eagle Dance. http://www.unhcr.org/thumb1/4e92ee2b6.jpg
19. Main Differences Among the Abductor Legends
• Version of Djidq'Gwas
• Version of Chauncey Warrior
• Version of the Snorer
• Tonawanda Variant
• Grand River Variant
• The Bad Boy and the Giant Crow
• Gahgago'na Abducts a Hunter
21. Discussion 1:
What do these stories have in common?
• Learning songs, dances or teachings from
an Eagle (or some species of bird)
• Main character is usually a hunter -
connection to nature
• Returns to village and teaches their own
people the songs and dances
• Some legends have an overarching lesson
23. What are the differences in the stories?
Are these differences important?
• Traditions are passed down verbally so there are
always small details included or left out
• The dances and songs vary from group to group
• The lessons taught are different (ex. cured of
illness, remember to thank Creator)
• Differences are important because each individual
variation has a personal meaning
• Each group has different interpretations of the
stories
25. An Analysis of the Iroquois
Eagle Dance and Songs:
Comparative
Choreography
26. Onondaga Private Ritual
• Males play priest, gift custodian, patient, dancers,
conductor, singer, and more
• Women, children, and Whites watched or slept as they
lounged on the beds
• three generations participated from two families, the
Logans and the Skyes
• Logans dominated the ritual in three roles of
intercession with the supernatural, intermediary b/w
communicants and personification of the Eagle spirit,
no one in costume
27.
28. Public ritual at Cayuga Sour Springs Longhouse
• only includes the body, part II
• typical moiety grouping
Interlonghouse comparisons
• Seneca uses moiety arrangements where Onondaga
uses grouping
• Tonawanda has two chants, allegany has three
• Logans: Robert utter the cry then two boys in response
(unlike all the dancers of six nations)
• Six nations speeches fulfill the Iroquois fondness for
jokes and clowning
• Seneca speakers interrupt song and pass the cane in
rotation, where the Seneca and Onondaga wait till the
end of the song and follow no fixed order
• Ground plan is always the same within tribes, no matter
the dancer
36. Gestures and Steps
• Dance choreographies are considered paradigms
because even though dancers follow the same
format, it can never be perfectly replicated each time
Longhouse variations
The beat of the rattles are played at different tempos in
each tribe to accomodate the agility of the dancers or
other needs
Individual variations
• Small variations in hand or leg placement are
insignificant
• Other variations in the dance can affect the
expressiveness and beauty, i.e. vibrant vs droopy
wings (arms)
46. IroquoisEagle Dance permits free expression of
personality within set forms
Community distribution coincides with the Handsome
Lake Religion
Communities: Coldspring on the Allegheny River,
Newtown on Cataragus Reservation, Tonawanda
Reservation, Onondaga near Syracuse, Onondaga
and Caygua communities at Six Nations Reserve,
Ontario
47. Membership
Includes both sexes
Members have had a dream of a specific
type, or have been cured by the society
The society calls itself ‘the strikers’ or ‘the
medicine company’
48. Ritual
Perform a ritual which is addressed to a
species of eagles that wheel in flight high in
the heavens amid clouds, have the power to
restore life to wilting things
Song leader with a water drum and his
helpers with horn rattles, accompany a
singular dance
49. Ritual
Pairs of youths/men hold a rattle in the right
hand and feather fan in the left, crouch
swaying and advance to pick up objects in
their mouths, and retreat hopping,
End of song, a speaker strikes a pole and
interrupts the ritual to praise his host and/or
dancers
50. Ritual
Recites personal achievement, humorous
anecdote or ridicules himself or another, then
distributes presents to his victims
Following the dance, the MC passes an
animal head or a chicken among the guests,
who cry like brows and bite at it
51. A Century of Ethnology
L.H. Morgan, 1851, conducted 10 years of
field work among the descendants of the
tribes that formed the Iroquois Confederacy
Devoted little space to the meetings of
medicine societies and referred to them only
as ‘concerts’ saying nothing of their imputed
medicinal power
52. Ethnology: L.H. Morgan
Ga-na-un-da-doh: Scalp Dance or Shaking a
bird’s tail
Shaking-a-fan is the Tonawanda name for
the Eagle or Bird Dance
Calumet Dance
Pipe Dance
War Dance
53. Ethnology: L.H. Morgan
To hold a Medicine Lodge was to observe their
highest religious rites, and to practice their highest
religious mysteries. ( Morgan, 1877, p 97)
Particular dances are special property, belonging
either to a gens or to a society organized for its
maintenance into which new members were from
time to time initiated. (Morgan, 1877, p 118)
54. Ethnology: E.A. Smith
Erminnie A. Smith, 1883 went among the
Seneca of western New York
First to mention the Eagle Dance
55. Ethnology: E.A. Smith
Private dances are held by the medicine men, in
which are introduced Ka-nai-kaw-ai, or eagle
dance… On the death of a medicine man a
special meeting is held by his fraternity, and
during the giving of certain medicines, medicine
tunes are chanted. ( Smith, 1883, p. 116)
56. Ethnology: E.A. Smith
Private dances are not infrequently given
by individual members of the tribe who,
having conceived a great affection for
each other, publicly cement it by a
friendship dance. (Ibid. Cf. Stone, 1838, vol.
1, p. 28)
58. Ethnology: Rev. W.M.
Beauchamp
Eagle dance (striking stick dance). Two men dance
side by side in precisely the same way. Each holds
a stick, with feathers spread out on each side. They
bend down, bending on leg under the dance, and
stretching the other out on the side. A cent is
placed on the flood and picked up with the mouth.
Some strike on the floor with a stick, and this gives
it the name (Ha-na-gah-a). A dancer makes a
speech and presents tobacco. (Beauchamp, 1895
a, p. 212)
59. Ethnology: E. Parker
Ely Parker, 1913, wrote the first consistent
account of Seneca Medicine Societies
Served as a guide in gathering more
information
60. Ethnology: E. Parker
The ritual of the Eagle Society consists of ten
songs and a dance… Every member
participating in the ceremony pains on
each cheek a round red spot. No one but
members may engage in its ceremonies,
even though these be performed publicly.
The Eagle Society’s ceremony is regarded
the most sacred, is this respect next to the
Great Feather Dance (Parker, 1913 b, pp.
124-125)
61. Ethnology: E. Parker
It is believed that the society holds in its
songs the most potent charms known. It is
said that the dying, especially those
afflicted with wasting diseases, and old
people, have been completely restored by
its ceremonies. This is because the Dew
Eagle, to which the society is dedicated, is
the reviver of wilting things. (Parker, 1913 b,
p 124)
