Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Personal Experiences Among Our North American Indians Supplement "The symbolic tendencies of the North American Indians, and especially the Indians of the great plains, have been very highly developed." When we begin to study the influences which operate in the development of the Indian warrior we come at once upon that remarkable term well understood by the Indians and known as "medicine." It is impossible to make any investigations concerning the Indian warrior without coming in contact with the magic and the medicine which influences so deeply his military career. What the medicine man has to say about good or bad medicine is of the highest importance in initiating the beginning of hostilities, in postponing or in preventing them altogether. We are indebted to Dr. Harrington´s scientific and interesting work on the sacred bundles of the Sac and Fox Indians, who states that the use of objects is supposed to have mysterious power in influencing the affairs of life among the tribes of the North American Indians. Sacred bundles, signs and symbols occupy a prominent position in the so-called "powerful" agencies known as "medicine."
