Pour l'auteur, il n'y a pas une religion des Indiens d'Amérique, mais plusieurs. Deux systèmes religieux prévalent néanmoins : la tradition des chasseurs et celle des cultivateurs. L'auteur s'appuie sur deux exemples : les Shoshones du Grand Bassin et les Zunis dont l'organisation sociale et culturelle est considérée comme la plus complexe du continent nord américain. Par son approche historique, culturelle, sociale et religieuse, cet ouvrage met en valeur l'interrelation existant entre les tribus et explique le mécanisme qui a présidé à la formation des diverses religions''. Pr. Christopher Vecsey. ''Nous avons ici, en essence, une approche vraiment admirable d'un vaste et complexe sujet. A. Hultkrantz est incontestablement l'une des plus grandes autorités en matière de religion des Indiens. Toute personne intéressée par la façon dont l'homme réfléchit sur lui-même en présence du sacré et du surnaturel devrait avoir ce livre

This innovative cultural history examines wide-ranging issues of religion, politics, and identity through an analysis of the American Indian Ghost Dance movement and its significance for two little-studied tribes: the Shoshones and Bannocks. The Ghost Dance has become a metaphor for the death of American Indian culture, but as Gregory Smoak argues, it was not the desperate fantasy of a dying people but a powerful expression of a racialized "Indianness." While the Ghost Dance did appeal to supernatural forces to restore power to native peoples, on another level it became a vehicle for the expression of meaningful social identities that crossed ethnic, tribal, and historical boundaries. Looking closely at the Ghost Dances of 1870 and 1890, Smoak constructs a far-reaching, new argument about the formation of ethnic and racial identity among American Indians. He examines the origins of Shoshone and Bannock ethnicity, follows these peoples through a period of declining autonomy vis-a-vis the United States government, and finally puts their experience and the Ghost Dances within the larger context of identity formation and emerging nationalism which marked United States history in the nineteenth century.
