The Montana Cree is a study of religion as a sustaining force in
American Indian life. On the small Rocky Boy reservation in
northern Montana, the Cree Indians provide an example of how a
people transplanted and persecuted throughout their history can
maintain and develop a tribal identity and unity through the
continuance of their religious values.
As the adopted son of Mose Michelle, a hereditary Pend O'Reille
chief, Verne Dusenberry moved easily within Indian circles as an
accepted participant-observer in many religious ceremonies. His
ethnographic study provides detailed descriptions of ceremonies -
the Shaking Tent, Ghost Dance, and Sun Dance - which are seldom
accurately described elsewhere.
