Yet his writings have been largely overlooked because they were published piecemeal over the course of twenty-five years and never adequately collected or analyzed. In this book, Garrick A. Bailey brings together in a clear, understandable way La Flesche's data for two important Osage religious ceremonies--the \"Songs of Wa-xo'-be,\" an initiation into a clan priesthood, and the Rite of the Chiefs, an initiation into a tribal priesthood. To put La Flesche's work into perspective, Bailey offers a short biography of this prolific Native American scholar and an overview of traditional Osage religious beliefs and practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francis La Flesche\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806131322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806131320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Francis La Flesche","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047474229503,"sku":"9780806131320","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a8a51a0-ae90-4488-9d5c-35323e0376b6.jpg?v=1684990418","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-osage-and-the-invisible-francis-la-flesche-9780806131320","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
