On the small Rocky Boy reservation in northern Montana, the Cree Indians provide an example of how a people transplanted and persecuted throughout their history can maintain and develop a tribal identity and unity through the continuance of their religious values.As the adopted son of Mose Michelle, a hereditary Pend OReille chief, Verne Dusenberry moved easily within Indian circles as an accepted participant-observer in many religious ceremonies. His ethnographic study provides detailed descriptions of ceremonies - the Shaking Tent, Ghost Dance, and Sun Dance - which are seldom accurately described elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68080937664800,"sku":"NEW0806130253","price":35.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61xkdjGNmUL.jpg?v=1793517537","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-montana-cree-a-study-in-religious-persistence-0806130253","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
