Summary:
"In 1913, two Sioux warriors, Old Buffalo and Swift Dog, met with Frances Densmore at a makeshift recording site in McLaughlin, South Dakota. What Old Buffalo and Swift Dog said that day--about life as they knew it before the reservation era began--lives on still in the pages of this fascinating book. Densmore went on to interview numerous Teton (or Lakota) Sioux men and women, and collected their songs as well as stories of their former way of life on the Plains. The present version is an abridged and illustrated edition of Teton Sioux Music. It has been skillfully edited to focus less on musical technicalia and more on the cultural value of Densmore's work. Its subjects include the Sun Dance, dreams, treatment of the sick, military societies, buffalo hunts, and social dances. Also included are 110 color and black-and-white illustrations, which further bring to life the world of the Teton Sioux Indians" -- Page [4] of cover.
