About This Book

Récit de voyage et d'ethnographie qui combine le témoignage d'un long séjour dans les Montagnes Rocheuses avec des monographies détaillées de peuples autochtones. L'auteur décrit la traversée et des observations de mœurs américaines, puis offre des scènes de la vie quotidienne, des habitations en tipi, et des éléments de croyances, de rites et de coutumes. Deux portraits contrastés présentent une communauté encore attachée à ses pratiques païennes et une autre convertie au christianisme, tandis que des notes missionnaires éclairent les transformations sociales et religieuses observées.
