Summary: "The Sun Dance of the Blackfoot Indians" by Clark Wissler is an anthropological study written in the early 20th century. The work emphasizes the cultural aspects and rituals of the Blackfoot Indians, specifically focusing on the sun dance ceremony, which is central to their spiritual and communal practices. This detailed examination is likely based on extensive observations and discussions with members of the Blackfoot tribes. The opening of the book provides a comprehensive preface in which Wissler outlines the extensive research conducted on the Blackfoot, particularly the Piegan tribe, beginning in 1903. He mentions his efforts to gather data despite previous works that focused primarily on this tribe, and he sets the stage for a discussion of the sun dance ceremony. This initial portion highlights the significance of the ceremony as a collective tribal ritual involving numerous functions and responsibilities, along with a description of the preparation period leading up to the event. Wissler aims to present a detailed and ethnologically accurate portrayal of the sun dance practice, emphasizing its importance within Blackfoot culture and spirituality.
