This book was a pretty slow read for me. McClintock writes detail oriented documentary style, which makes for a somewhat dry read. However, he provides in interesting detail and perspective on the blackfoot indians, including details on private ceremonies.McClintock spent a number of years with the blackfoot and was even adopted as a son which gave him a access to numerous ceremonies. He goes through each step of the various ceremonies in great detail. He also travels through the region, providing vivid detail of the landscapes and the animals.
What I found most interesting was the stories behind how each Indian attained their status to obtain their bundles, and consequently their obligations to give ceremonies. There seems to be an endless number of waves to attain a given status from catching an eagle, to surviving a bear attack, to catching an elusive beaver.
Also intriguing was their view of death and ghosts. And by McClintock's account they actually seem to have been visited by a ghost one evening.
Whether it be a plus or minus I'm not sure, but McClintock makes no attempt, to indicate what the blackfoot think about anything. Nor does McClintock tell us what he feels or thinks, except that he liked living with the Indians, as oppossed to modern civilizations.
