AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article is concerned with social dancing and singing ceremonies ca. 1950 among the Blackfoot. They were considered as expressions of rivalries between age-group societies, and as exemplifying 'the new and the old in the gradual assimilation of the Plains Indian into modern society'.
