Abstract
This is a comprehensive monograph covering many aspects of Blood culture; religion and ritual, men's and women's societies, and warfare and raiding are especially well described. Also of value are the numerous narratives of pre- and early reservation life obtained by Hungry Wolf from a broad spectrum of elderly individuals. This book should be used with caution, however, since the author (a non-Indian) apparently felt so immersed in Blood life that he did not think it necessary to clearly distinguish his own views from those of his informants. Further, it is often difficult to determine the exact provenance of his factual information, which may derive from documentary sources, from the testimony of Blood informants, or from his own personal experiences.
