AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This book is intended as a general ethnography of the modern Piegan of the Blackfoot Indian Reservation in Montana. The theme is that the reservation community is divided into two opposing groups, the White-oriented vs. the Indian-oriented. McFee gives a general description of the reservation community, Piegan history, general information on the White-oriented vs. the Indian-oriented groups, differences between these two groups in terms of social interaction, values, and status, and concludes the book with a chapter on future prospects.
