Notes: Alexander’s last work, published posthumously.  Native American philosophy, as viewed in their art and ritual.  Alexander was deeply aware of his role as an Anglo examining Native American rites and ceremonies, and paid them the respect they deserved.  The Foreword by Clyde Kluckhohn is gibberish compared to Alexander’s writing.
