AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This book describes the variety of traditional (such as peyotism, powwow meetings, ghost dances, divination and shamanism) and modern (mostly christian) religious expereinces available to contemporary Comanche Indians. It argues that the Comanche actively integrate these experiences to create their own religious system outisde the boundaries of any given rite or sect. This unique way of expereincing different religions has enabled the Comanche to maintain their identity as Indians, tribe members, and individuals within a culture.
