Publisher's Synopsis
The Religion of the Luiseno Indians of Southern California is a book written by Constance Goddard DuBois in 1908. The book provides a comprehensive study of the religious beliefs and practices of the Luiseno tribe, a Native American group living in Southern California. DuBois, an anthropologist and ethnographer, conducted extensive fieldwork and interviews with members of the tribe to gather information about their religion. The book covers topics such as the creation myth, religious ceremonies, beliefs about the afterlife, and the role of shamans in the tribe. DuBois also explores the impact of the Spanish colonization on the Luiseno religion and the ways in which the tribe adapted to the new religious practices introduced by the missionaries. Overall, The Religion of the Luiseno Indians of Southern California is an important contribution to the field of Native American studies and provides valuable insights into the religious traditions of the Luiseno tribe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
