Dance and Song Rituals of Six Nations Reserve, Ontario - 1968

"This report is primarily a choreographic and musical survey of Canadian Longhouse customs. It joins the arts of choreography and music in the descriptions and even in the analyses. It also presents the related art of costuming. The ceremonies integrate other important features with dance and music... One aspect of material culture receives more attention than in previous publications, namely, the setting and orientation of the sanctuaries. The observations have extended over sixteen years, from 1948 to 1964, and have included representative ceremonies of all seasons."
