Notes On The Social Organization And Customs Of The Mandan, Hidatsa, And Crow Indians

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Robert H. Lowie studied anthropology with Franz Boas at Columbia University, did fieldwork among the western Indian tribes from 1906 to 1931, and taught at the University of California, Berkeley, for three decades. His many publications include "The Crow Indians" and "Indians of the Plains," available as Bison Books. Peter Nabokov, an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, is the author of "Two Leggings: The Making of a Crow Warrior" (1982), also a Bison Book, and editor of "Native American Testimony: A Chronicle of Indian and White Relations from Prophecy to the Present"(1991).
