Walking in the sacred manner : healers, dreamers, and pipe carriers--medicine women of the Plains In

St. Pierre, Mark, 1950-

Synopsis:

Based on extensive interviews with women who are healers and spiritual leaders from the Plains Indians (including Lakota, Cheyenne, Crow, and Assiniboine), the authors analyze and present the myths and cultures of the people. In this community, there is no separation of the spiritual and daily life, where women have a very strong and important place.
