About This Book

A Hidatsa woman recounts her childhood and the daily, seasonal, and ceremonial practices of her community, describing life in earth lodges, kinship and clan relations, child-rearing, games, agricultural work such as planting and husking corn, dog training, marriage customs, buffalo hunts and hunting camps, travel and village relocation after epidemic losses, and practical skills like camp-making and cooking. Presented as first-person reminiscences with illustrative sketches and ethnographic notes, the narrative blends personal memory with practical instructions and cultural explanation of Hidatsa lifeways.
