Walking in the Sacred Manner: Healers, Dreamers, and Pipe Carriers--Medicine Women of the Plains - St. Pierre, Mark; Long Soldier, Tilda

Clean, tight, unmarked; very minimal wear; appears unread; This book is an exploration of the myths and culture of the Plains Indian, for whom the everyday and the spiritual are intertwined and women play a strong and important role in the spiritual and religious life of the community. Based on extensive first-person interviews by an established expert on Plains Indian women, this book is a singular and authentic record of the participation of women in the sacred traditions of Northern Plains tribes, including Lakota, Cheyenne, Crow, and Assiniboine. Through interviews with holy women and the families of women healers, the authors paint a rich and varied portrait of a society and its traditions.
