AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This book, written by Mike Mountain Horse, a Blood Indian, draws on his own personal observations and stories told to him by his father and uncle, Bull Shield, to depict the traditional customs, daily life, war expolits, and legends of his tribe during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In addition to biographical information on the author, this document contains data on early childhood, religion, medicine men, ghosts and spirits, personal names and naming, hunting and diet, rest days and holidays (e.g., Christmas), and customs in general.
