Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a captivating journey into the heart of the Hidatsa Indian culture as it existed in the early 19th century, before the devastating smallpox epidemic of 1837. The author meticulously reconstructs their intricate social and ceremonial organization, drawing on firsthand accounts from tribal elders who witnessed the traditional way of life. The narrative delves into the Hidatsaâ� �s unique societal structure, exploring their village organization, leadership roles, warfare practices, and intertribal relations. It unveils the significance of their clan and moiety systems, kinship networks, and age-grade societies, shedding light on the complex web of relationships that bound the community together. Central to the book is the exploration of the Hidatsaâ� �s deep connection to the spiritual realm. Through vivid descriptions of their ceremonies and rituals, the author reveals the profound role of the supernatural in their lives. From sacred myths and origin stories to detailed accounts of rituals like the Sun Dance and the Thunder ceremonies, the book provides a window into the Hidatsaâ� �s worldview and their understanding of the cosmos. Ultimately, this book provides invaluable insights into a vibrant and complex culture, offering a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of the Hidatsa people and their unique place in the history of the Northern Plains.
