Description: The power of religion to preserve individual and group identity is perhaps nowhere more evident than among Native American peoples. In the Becoming and Remaining a People the author shows how the oral traditions and ritual practices of Northern Plains Indians developed, how they were transformed at critical points in their history, and how they provided them with crucial means of establishing and maintaining their respective identities.
