Abstract
""How to take part in Lakota Ceremonies" is written for those looking for a clear and concise manual for participating correctly in Lakota rituals. Carefully written and easily understood, this guide will prevent confusion, fear, and common mistakes often experienced by beginners. Following these directives, a person will be able to participate with confidence, understanding and respect in the beautiful, meaningful, and sacred rituals of the Lakota.
This guide complements "The Pipe and Christ", which is a larger book covering the theoretical and theological sides of the Lakota religion. This smaller manual emphasizes the practical and action side of the Lakota ritual. Nonetheless, this manual clearly indicates the spiritual feeling, thoughts, and attitudes people should have as they take part in Lakota ritual."--Back cover.
