About this book

Beliefs about gods, spirits and the soul, and the ceremonies built on them, are set out chapter by chapter in this 1921 monograph on the Lenape, also called the Delaware. M. R. Harrington begins with their Supreme Being, the Sun, Moon and Thunder Beings, and Mother Corn, then turns to guardian spirits and visions. Long chapters describe the Unami annual ceremony and the Minsi Big House rites, the mask dance, and smaller ceremonies for the Doll Being, the bear and the otter. A painting by the Shawnee artist Ernest Spybuck is the frontispiece.
