E-Book By Walter McClintock

[LadyHawkღ]

Walter McClintock went to Montana with a US Forestry Service expedition in 1896.
He spent the next four years living on the land with the Blackfeet,
one of the most northern of the Great Plains tribes.
He was adopted into the tribe by the Chief Mad Dog, and got a chance to
learn their traditions firsthand.
The book presents Blackfeet folklore and religious traditions in
context.
The narrative of his gradual adoption into Blackfeet society is a
classic
Western tale, but it is also a classic of 19th century ethnography.
Unfettered by modern anthropological protocols and given total access
by his hosts, McClintock produced the primary source on the Blackfeet
just
after the collapse of their traditional way of life.
