What reading level is Personal Experiences Among Our North American Indians Supplement book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No. 2 of the American Anthropologist, George Bird Grinnell, the well known authority on all subjects relating to our North American Indians contributes a valuable paper on the Chey- enne Medicine Lodge in which he gives a very clear insight into the mysteries of the Medicine Lodge or Sun Dance.
Referring to the voluntary tortures of "swing- ing to the pole and dragging buffalo skulls" as self-inflicted "for the purpose of making war- riors", he states that the general belief that "no man might ...be considered a warrior who had not endured these sufferings" is not correct, although many writers have stated that "the suffering was undergone by young men who wished to show that their hearts were strong and that it was a test of endurance. " Indian agents and mission- aries declared that these ceremonies ought to be stopped and hence the action of the Indian Bur- eau in forbidding them ! "The suffering in many cases was the payment in honour of pledges made, " and was a sacrifice of self to bring good fortune, or to avert misfortune in future.
