This comprehensive work is not a recital but an understandable exploration of the religious world of Plains Indians.</p><p>The different means of acquiring visions that are described include the spontaneous vision experience common among Plains Indian women and means such as stress, illness, social conflict, and mourning used by both men and women to obtain visions.</p></div> |
