Suitable for medicine societies that are prescribed herbs and used powerfully evocative masks in treating the underlying causes of sickness, this title investigates the religious rites of the Cayuga tribe, one of six in the Iroquois confederation that occupied upstate New York until the American Revolution.

The Yuchis, one of the more resilient peoples of the southeastern United Sates, were forcibly relocated to Indian Territory along with their neighbors in the 1830s. This book portrays Yuchi life and describes numerous facets of Yuchi culture, including language, subsistence practices, decorative arts, domestic architecture, and clothing.
