An Archaeology of the Soul: North American Indian Belief and Ritual

Abstract

My Personal Review: I find this book extremely pleasing and thought-provoking. Using a wealth of sources, Hall shows the persistence of Native American belief into modern times among a number of tribal groups. It is an overview that enabled me to see how deeply rooted some of today's Indian religion is in an ancient past. Not an easy read, but it is richly rewarding for the patient reader, and exciting in the breadth of its insight and dimensions.
