Edward Davis takes you on a journey to explore some of the most interesting traditions of the Native American people.
In an attempt from the author to preserve the culture, he details the ancient practice of cremation held by two tribes. In this very short read, you'll discover the unusual intricacies of burying the dead among Native Americans, and how some men seemingly came back to life!
Davis explains why they sometimes deliberately burnt their houses to the ground, and gives a lively description of their dances, chants, and their great feast which lasted seven consecutive days and nights.
'It sometimes required two years to gather sufficient materials for the fiesta.'
The book provides insight on a unique and forgotten culture, and accurately depicts the people of the 17th century North American continent before colonization.
'So many of the customs and practices of the Indians are being discarded or forgotten.'
