Dying: What We Can Learn from American Indians -- Conclusion "This book presents a sociological analysis of death and bereavement practices of American Indians with oral histories from select tribes describing their practices"-- Sociology of Death and the American Indian examines dying, death, disposal, and bereavement practices and applies those concepts to select American Indian tribes historically and currently, supplemented with oral histories. The focus is that learning about other cultures can enhance the understanding of one's own culture by comparing traditional and modern societies. Gerry R. Cox addresses the centuries of injustices committed against American Indians that led to a neglect of learning about American Indian cultures and attempts to fill the gaps in knowledge of American Indian practices--back cover |
