It was suggested by Franziska Boas (1944), Holt and Bateson (1944), Kurath (1960), Waterman (1962), and by Lomax and his choreometrics staff (1968). This is a valid observation, but it must be accepted with a caveat. It is valid and of primary importance if, by this observation, it is meant that there is a \"relationship between dance and the way of life\" as Franziska Boas states (1944:3), but it may not be valid if it implies cause and effect.","PeriodicalId":391303,"journal":{"name":"CORD news","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116808503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The accompanying text highlights secular and ritual aspects of those Indians' associational life organized around an array of warrior societies, civil societies, and cult groups—both male and female. Various dance rituals are examined in Dog Soldiers, Bear Men and Buffalo Women, including the Hot Dance of the Arikara (p. 149), the Hidatsa (p. 170), and the Crow (p. 300); the Bear Song Dance and the Sacred Pipe Dance of the Crow (p. 300); and the Horse Dance performed by the Assiniboine (pp. 343-344).
