Abstract
As the title suggests this source presents a detailed description of the Seminole medicine bundles, their relationship to the Green Corn Dance, and an analysis of the various ritual components of this dance. Additional data in this paper relate to general concepts of religion, the medicine man and his assistants, musical instruments (i. e., rattles), scratching the skin and drinking an infusion (the Black Drinks) as a form of purification, attitudes toward crime and punishment, and various secular dances associated with the Green Corn Dance.
