Overview
""The Pawnee Ghost Dance Hand Game: A Study of Cultural Change"" by Alexander Lesser is a comprehensive study of the Pawnee Native American tribe and their traditional hand game.

Lesser's research is based on extensive fieldwork and interviews with members of the Pawnee tribe. He examines the history of the hand game, its rules and rituals, and its role in Pawnee society. He also looks at how the game has been influenced by outside forces, such as the introduction of Christianity and the impact of colonization.The book provides a detailed analysis of the hand game and its cultural significance, as well as a broader understanding of the Pawnee tribe and their history.
