{"product_id":"blessing-for-a-long-time-robin-ridington-9780803289819","title":"Blessing for a Long Time: The Sacred Pole of the Omaha Tribe","description":"Robin Ridington and Dennis Hastings ingeniously adopt the conventions of Omaha oral narratives to tell the story and convey the significance of the Sacred Pole. Portions of classic anthropological texts (particularly Fletcher and La Flesche's \u003ci\u003eThe Omaha Tribe\u003c\/i\u003e), Omaha narratives, and other historical and contemporary accounts are repeated--each time in a different, more enlightening context--in a circle of stories seamlessly woven around Umon'hon'ti. The result is an innovative account that effortlessly glides between past and present. This unique blend of Omaha poetics, ethnography, and ethnohistory is a significant contribution to our understanding of the religious life of Native Americans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dennis Hastings (In'aska), Robin Ridington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803289812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803289819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.01w x 0.65d","brand":"Dennis Hastings (In'aska)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981253378303,"sku":"9780803289819","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_63039428-cd70-436f-a3e2-a6393c604b64.jpg?v=1683254503","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blessing-for-a-long-time-robin-ridington-9780803289819","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
