What reading level is The Thunder Ceremony of the Pawnee book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The religious ceremonies of the Pawnee were numerous and varied. They may be divided into two main classes, ceremonies, which were in charge of societies whose members had certain secrets in com- mon, and ceremonies which were participated in by the whole village, band, or tribe. To the first class belong the ceremonies of the warrior societies and the medicine-men. To the second class belong those which had to do with the welfare of the people.
Practically all the ceremonies of the second clas...s centered about collections of sacred objects, called by the whites sacred bundles. Each village possessed one of these bundles, and there were two additional bundles which were the property of the whole tribe. The objects in the bundles varied, but had a general similarity, each bundle containing at least one pipe, tobacco, paints, the skins of certain birds, and the Mother-Corn. The last consisted of two ears of corn, which were the most sacred objects in the bundle. When not in use, the objects were wrapped in a buifalo hide and hung from the wall of the lodge.
