Abstract:In the 1960s two movements ran side-by-side, the anti-war student protests and the Counter-Culture. Both movements appropriated an imagined peaceful American Indian as unofficial emblems of their cause. In contrast to this, many American Indians fought in Vietnam while others blessed the soldiers who volunteered or were drafted. The Ponca Singers were one such group. The difference about the ceremony described within the article, is that it was conducted to bless a white sailor, who they claimed as one of their own, who went to war, rather than a Native American. In the era of the two aforementioned movements, this ceremony stood in stark contrast to the appropriation that surrounded them.

派遣一名水手参战：庞卡歌手、加州爱好者、越南以及对新时代印度人的反主流文化神话的拒绝

摘要：1960年代，反战学生抗议和反文化两大运动并存。这两个运动都将想象中的和平美洲印第安人作为其事业的非官方标志。与此相反，许多美国印第安人在越南作战，而其他人则祝福志愿或应征的士兵。庞卡歌手就是这样一个团体。文章中描述的仪式的不同之处在于，它是为了祝福一名白人水手，他们声称自己是自己的一员，参加了战争，而不是美洲原住民。在上述两个运动的时代，这个仪式与围绕它们的拨款形成了鲜明的对比。
