About this book
Washo Religion is a book by James F. Downs. The text says that in this work the writer takes the broadest possible definition of religion, conceiving it as any institutionalized activity or attitude which reflects the Washo view of the cosmos. The writer suggests that rather than disappearing under the withering rationalism of civilization, the religion of the Washo has simply altered and expanded to serve the Washo in new situations.
The contents list covers topics such as Water Babies, The Giants, The Coyote And Other Figures, Curing And Shamanism and Dreams And Dreamers, among others. A speaker recalls that her father used to say that if they did it they would marry out of the tribe, and that Mike, her husband, used to tell the same thing to their girls, who did not listen.
