The Plains Cree

"The Plains Cree: An Ethnographic, Historical, and Comparative Study, first published in 1940 by David Mandelbaum remains the definitive account of the Plains Cree. In this revised edition, first reprinted in 1978, Part One contains the original material dealing with Plains Cree history and ethnology. Part Two is a two-fold comparative study: the first section compares the Plains Cree to other Nations east of the Plains: the Eastern Cree, Ojibwa, the Nations of the Labrador peninsula, the Menominee, and other Central Woodlands Nations; the second section compares Plains Cree culture to other Plains Nations, mainly those of the northern Plains." -- Provided by goodminds.com
