9780806120096: Sacred Language: Nature of Supernatural Discourse in Lakota (Civilization of American Indian S.)

Synopsis

Of prime importance in this volume are the author's translations and exegeses of Lakota sacred song texts. Powers, a linguist who is fluent in the language he discusses, sets out to bring a high level of scholarship to both description and analysis. In readable fashion he traces the birth of sacred language to philosophical discourse among medicine men, converse between them and their followers, and prayers to the supernaturals.
