The Sun Dance of the Blackfoot Indians

The Sun Dance of the Blackfoot Indians, published in 1918 by Clark Wissler, is an anthropological study focusing on the cultural and spiritual significance of the sun dance ceremony among the Blackfoot tribes, particularly the Piegan. Based on extensive research and observations starting in 1903, Wissler provides a detailed examination of the rituals, preparations, and communal aspects of this central practice. The work is notable for its ethnological accuracy and its contribution to the understanding of Blackfoot spirituality and culture.
