Henry S. Sharp (Author)

Available from these sellers.

Book Description

Publication Date: March 17, 1988

The major theoretical issues in this work are: (1) the nature of power in Chipewyan society; (2) the relationship between specific symbolic forms, inkoze and the "bushman," as a means of gender regulation; and (3) the Western concepts of "belief" and "rationality" as confounding variables in the analysis of Chipewyan thought and action.
