Rich in detail, it presents an abundance of information on topics such as tribal divisions, documented history and traditional history, warfare, economy, social life, philosophy and religion, and ceremonialism. Nearly half the book is devoted to Canadian Sioux religion and describes such ceremonies as the Vision Quest, the Medicine Feast, the Medicine Dance, the Sun Dance, warrior society dances, and the Ghost Dance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis second edition includes previously unpublished images, many of them photographed by Howard, and some of his original drawings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eForeword\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eForeword to the Bison Books Edition\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePreface\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1.
