AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This resource discusses the Arapaho Sun Dance and how it has changed over time and space. However, the author had difficulty obtaining information from Northern Arapaho and thus his main informant was Southern Arapaho. (Reluctance to discuss the Sun Dance with outsiders/the author was marked as 784.)
