About this ebook
Life histories are an excellent means of crosscultural understanding. In
detailing the life of a Comanche medicine woman who wanted her methods
recorded, Jones demonstrated such an intense interest in her training
and experiences as a shaman that Sanapia not only accepted him as a
valued biographer but also adopted him as a son. Readers will enjoy this
intimate portrait of the last surviving Comanche Eagle doctor, revealed
in descriptive accounts of her ritual behavior, her attitude toward the
profession, the paraphernalia she employed, and her function in
Comanche society.
