''A Study of Siouan Cults'' by James Owen Dorsey is a comprehensive examination of the religious beliefs and practices of the various Siouan tribes of North America. The book is divided into two parts, with the first section providing a detailed analysis of the religious ceremonies and rituals of the Siouan people, including their beliefs about creation, the afterlife, and the role of spirits in everyday life. The second section of the book focuses on the specific cults and religious groups within the Siouan tribes, including the Sun Dance, the Ghost Dance, and the Peyote Cult. Throughout the book, Dorsey draws on his extensive fieldwork and firsthand accounts of Siouan religious practices to provide a rich and detailed portrait of this important aspect of Native American culture. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and anthropology of Native American religions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
