Notes


This study examines the history and cultural development of the Plains Cree, particularly their westward movement from the woodland regions and their adaptation to the prairie environment. The study considers the effects of the fur trade, the transition from woodland hunting to a bison-based economy, material culture, social organization, warfare, religion, ceremonialism, and the individual life cycle. The 1979 Canadian Plains Research Centre edition publishes the complete study, including comparative sections previously unpublished. With bibliography and index.
