The Cheyenne: Ceremonial Organization is a book written by George A. Dorsey that provides a comprehensive study of the Cheyenne Native American tribe's ceremonial practices and organizational structure. The book delves into the Cheyenne's religious beliefs, including their creation stories, their beliefs about the afterlife, and their worship of the Great Spirit. It also explores the tribe's social hierarchy and how it is reflected in their ceremonies, such as the Sun Dance and the Hunka ceremony. Dorsey draws on his extensive fieldwork among the Cheyenne people to provide detailed descriptions of their rituals, songs, and dances. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American culture and religion, as well as those studying anthropology or ethnography.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
