Description
"Where previous studies have focused primarily upon drinking styles among Indian populations, Beatrice Medicine develops an indigenous model for the analysis and control of alcohol abuse. This new ethnography of the Lakota Sioux (Standing Rock in North and South Dakota) examines patterns of alcohol consumption and strategies by individuals to attain a new lifestyle and achieve sobriety."--Jacket.Tags
