A Study Of Siouan Cults (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162983714)

""A Study of Siouan Cults"" is a scholarly work by James Owen Dorsey that explores the religious beliefs and practices of the Siouan people, a Native American tribe that once inhabited the Great Plains region of North America. The book is a comprehensive study of the various cults that existed within the Siouan culture, including their creation myths, rituals, and ceremonies. Dorsey draws on his extensive fieldwork with the Siouan tribes to provide a detailed analysis of their religious practices, which were closely tied to their daily lives and the natural world around them. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American religion and culture, as well as those studying anthropology, sociology, and religious studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
