Walker's Account","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on Indigenous methodologies, this book uses a close analysis of James R. Walker's 1917 monograph on the Lakota Sun Dance to explore how the Sun Dance communal ritual complex - the most important Lakota ceremony - creates moral community, providing insights into the cosmology and worldview of Lakota tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book uses Walker's primary source to conduct a reading of the Sun Dance in its nineteenth-century context through the lenses of Lakota metaphysics, cosmology, ontology, and ethics. The author argues that the Sun Dance constitutes a cosmic ethical drama in which persons of all types - human and nonhuman - come together in reciprocal actions and relationships. Drawing on contemporary animist theory and a perspectivist approach that uses Lakota worldview assumptions as the basis for analysis, the book enables a richer understanding of the Sun Dance and its role in the Lakota moral world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOffering a nuanced understanding that centers Lakota views of the sacred, this book will be relevant to scholars of religion and animism, and all those interested in Native American cultures and lifeways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fritz Detwiler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367725584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367725587\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.38d","brand":"Fritz Detwiler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945218670847,"sku":"9780367725587","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9737f7e7-1afa-4843-90a6-a36b7b0d7510.jpg?v=1681507468","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cosmology-and-moral-community-in-fritz-detwiler-9780367725587","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
