Overview
Author Leslie Gourse has created a helpful guide for adapting and incorporating traditional Native American marriage customs into today's modern weddings. Descriptions of weddings of the Hopi, Lakota, Iroquois, Oglala, and others provide a historic sense of Native traditions.Synopsis
A specialist in music biographies and jazz histories, Gourse here sets off in a new direction with a treatment of love, courtship, marriage, and family traditions among several North American tribes, including the Hopi, Navajo, Iroquois, and Oglala Sioux. She describes old traditions and their evolution during modern times, and provides hints for brides and grooms who would like to incorporate these customs into their wedding ceremonies. Annotation c.
