Abstract

"The Cheyenne Indians, in sharp contrast to other Plains tribes, are renowned for their clearly designed sense of form and structured institution within the cultural pattern of their tribe. It is this trait, together with the colorful background of the Cheyennes, which has attracted the unique collaboration of a legal theorist and an anthropologist who, in this volume, provide a definitive picture of the law-ways of a primitive, nonliterate people."--Book jacket.
