Wedding Clothes and the Osage Community

A Giving Heritage

Beschreibung

1. This exploration of the role of gift exchange in Osage marriage ceremonies over the past 200 years is accessibly written and illustrated with 120 high quality color photographs of objects and important scans of archival imagery. 2. It includes a wealth of previously unpublished material from ethnographic, artifact, and archival source material. 3. It prioritizes Osage voices by including excerpts from the community's conversation with the authors throughout and using historical documents to bring in voices from the past. 4.
