Among the topics considered in this classic study are world origins
and supernatural powers, attitudes toward the dead, the medicine
man and shaman, hunting and gathering rituals, war and planting
ceremonies, and newer religions, such as the Ghost Dance and the
Peyote Religion.
"The distinctive contribution of ["Red Man's Religion"] is the
treatment of topics, the insight and the perspective of the author,
and her ability to transmit these to the reader. . . . Trais and
aspects of religion are not treated as abstract entitites, to be
enumerated and summated, assigned a geographic distribution, and
then abandoned. No page is a dry recital; each is an illumination.
Insight and wisdom are framed in poetic prose. An offering of
information in such a medium merits gratitude."--"American
Anthropologist"
