Publisher's Synopsis
""The Religion of the Crow Indians"" is a comprehensive study of the religious beliefs and practices of the Crow Native American tribe, written by anthropologist Robert H. Lowie and first published in 1922. Lowie spent several years living among the Crow and conducted extensive fieldwork to document their spiritual traditions, including their creation myth, rituals, and ceremonies. The book delves into the Crow's complex relationship with the natural world, their belief in supernatural beings and powers, and their practices of shamanism and vision quests. Lowie also explores the impact of Christianity on the Crow's religious practices and the ways in which their beliefs and traditions have adapted over time. This seminal work remains an important resource for scholars of Native American religion and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
