AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This book opens with a series of English translations of Blackfoot texts, divided by Grinnell into adventure stories, origin myths, and accounts of the travels and doings of the culture hero, Na'pi ('Old Man'). This section is followed by an ethnographic sketch incorporating material on all three Blackfoot subdivisions (Sík-si 'kau, Kaínah or Blood, and Pikuni or Piegan), that includes data on daily life, social organization, hunting, warfare, religion and ritual, and curing.
