Mission Among the Blackfeet
Author: Howard L. Harrod
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 9780806131535
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
As the once vital world of the Blackfoot Indians crumbled in the face of advancing white civilization, shrinking buffalo herds, and the ravages of smallpox, yet another blow was struck at its social and religious foundations with the arrival of the Christian missionaries, both Protestant and Catholic. In this book the author recounts the history of the missions and their impact on the Blackfeet, from their founding in the 1840's to the present day. He has drawn upon much previously unpublished material to recapture the tribe's proud and tragic moments, the sometimes equally tragic fate of the missionaries, and the effects of shifting governmental and denominational policies upon both groups.

Plains Indian History and Culture
Author: John Canfield Ewers
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 9780806129433
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Plains Indian History and Culture, an engaging collection of articles and essays, reflects John C. Ewers multifaceted approach to Indian history, an approach that combines his far-reaching interest in American history generally, his professional training in anthropology, and his many decades of experience as a field-worker and museum curator. The author has drawn on interviews collected during a quarter-century of fieldwork with Indian elders, who in recalling their own experiences during the buffalo days, revealed unique insights into Plains Indian life. Ewers use his expertise in examining Indian-made artifacts and drawings as well as photographs taken by non-Indian artists who had firsthand contact with Indians. He throws new light on important changes in Plains Indian culture, on the history of intertribal relations, and on Indian relation with whites—traders, missionaries, soldiers, settlers, and the U.S. Government.
