Book Overview

The Owl Sacred Pack of the Fox Indians is a comprehensive study of the religious beliefs and practices of the Fox Indians, as recorded by Truman Michelson. Michelson, a noted anthropologist and linguist, spent several years living among the Fox Indians and learning about their culture and traditions. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which provides a detailed description of the Owl Sacred Pack, a religious society within the Fox community that was responsible for maintaining the balance between the natural and supernatural worlds. The second part of the book focuses on the Fox Indians' beliefs about the afterlife, including their concept of the soul and the various rituals and ceremonies associated with death and mourning. Throughout the book, Michelson provides extensive translations of Fox Indian songs, prayers, and other religious texts, as well as detailed descriptions of the various rituals and ceremonies that were central to their religious practices. The Owl Sacred Pack of the Fox Indians is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Native American religion and culture, as well as for scholars of anthropology and linguistics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
