Description
The Pawnee Ghost Dance Hand Game: A Study of Cultural Change by Alexander Lesser is a detailed examination of the Pawnee Native American tribe's traditional hand game and its evolution over time. The book explores the cultural significance of the hand game, which was played during religious ceremonies, social gatherings, and even as a form of gambling. Lesser delves into the history of the game, tracing its origins and development from pre-contact times to the modern era. He also analyzes the impact of outside influences, such as European colonization and the introduction of Christianity, on the game and the Pawnee culture as a whole. The author draws on extensive fieldwork and interviews with Pawnee elders and scholars to provide a comprehensive understanding of the hand game's role in Pawnee society and its continued relevance today. The Pawnee Ghost Dance Hand Game is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American culture, anthropology, and the study of cultural change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
