"Hidatsa Social and Ceremonial Organization," a study of an
important horticultural Plains Indian tribe, synthesizes the rich
material Alfred W. Bowers recorded in the early 1930s from the last
generation of Hidatsas who lived in the historic village of
Like-a-Fishhook. This documentary record of their
nineteenth-century lifeways is now a classic in American
ethnography. The book is distinguished for its presentation of
extensive personal and ritual narratives that allow Hidatsa elders
to articulate directly their conceptions of traditional culture. It
combines archeological and ethnographic approaches to reconstruct a
Hidatsa culture history that is shaped by a concern for cultural
detail stemming from the American ethnographic tradition of Franz
Boas. At the same time, its concern for the understanding of social
structure reflects the influence of the British
structural-functional approach of A. R. Radcliffe-Brown. The most
comprehensive account ever published on the Hidatsas, it is of
enduring value and interest.
