Meer over het boek

This text includes excerpts discussing the origin myth of the Medicine Rite, featuring three versions and their historical context. A detailed analysis will follow in the next installment, but a few remarks are necessary here. For information on how versions I and II were obtained, readers are directed to a previous account in The Road of Life and Death. Version III is part of a broader Thunderbird Origin Myth and was recorded in syllabary. The accounts of the historical origins of the Medicine Rite are integral to the rite itself and were gathered during its collection.
