Vance came from Montana to tell us about the traditional uses of ritual on the Cheyenne Reservation and to outline his plans and hopes for using traditional Cheyenne rituals such as dance societies and the sweat lodge to help redirect Cheyenne youth who have problems with alcohol and drug use. To help us understand the power of the sweat lodge, Vance constructed a sweat lodge in the backyard of MARIAL director Bradd Shore in Marietta. This exhibit documents this ritual as experienced by a group of Emory faculty and students on a Sunday afternoon in January 2001. Photography by Bradd Shore. Web design by Emily Satterwhite. To contact Dr. Shore, please call (404) 727-4200 or email him at antbs@emory.edu.   172nd Salem Campground Camp Meeting July 28 - August 4, 2000 Salem, Newton County, Georgia The pictures in this exhibition were taken by MARIAL Center director Bradd Shore during his visit to Salem Campground in August, 2000. They attempt to give a sense of the beauty and the spirit of the place and its people. The exhibit also includes photos of some interesting documents related to the camp meeting, including an elaborate family scrap book and cookbook "A Taste of Salem," suggesting the power of the camp meeting to organize families' sense of their common identity and history. Acknowledgments: Thanks to Hon. Sam Ramsey, mayor of Covington, for inviting me to the camp meeting, to W.T. Rogers for his generous and thoughtful tour of the campground, and to the many good people I met at Salem who took me into their tents and, for a few pleasant days, into their lives. Photography and text by Bradd Shore. Web design by Emily Satterwhite and Ben Barden.

The cemetery, which contains graves dating back to at least the 1850s, is the subject of a collaborative restoration and documentation project involving the local community, Oxford College of Emory University, and the MARIAL Center. This virtual exhibition is based on a museum exhibition developed by Dr. Mark Auslander and his students at Oxford College in Spring 2000. "Tragic Beauty" was exhibited at Oxford College's Hoke O'Kelly Library (May-June 2000) and at the Newton County Library in Covington (August 2000). Web design and black and white photography by Charles Burnett. For more information on efforts to restore and document the Oxford African-American cemetery, please contact Dr. Mark Auslander, Department of Anthropology, Oxford College, Oxford GA 30054. Tel.
