Oglala Religion by William K. Powers Format: PaperbackPublished by U of Nebraska Press, 1982 This study seeks to explain how one group of Native Americans, the Oglala Sioux, has pr eserved its social and cultural identity despite formidable attempts by the U.S. government to eliminate tribal societies. Treating continuity and change as two aspects of the same phenomenon, it focuses on the nature of the uniquely Oglala values that persist, their modes of cultural expression, and the processes by which they are replicated.Product image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.
