Indian dances of North America : their importance to Indian life / Reginald and Gladys Laubin ; with paintings, drawings, and photographs by the authors ; foreword by Louis R. Bruce.
Indian dances of the early days revealed the very soul of the people. Every event of life, every act of the day was strung on a sort of invisible chain of prayer -- expressed visibly through the paint on his face, his songs and dances, which combined them all.
