Gros Ventre and Assiniboine Interpretations of History --Conclusions --Abbreviations --Notes --References --IndexFort Belknap reservation in Montana is home to both the Gros Ventre and Assiniboine Indian tribes. The two thousand inhabitants of the reservation recognize an array of symbols-political, ritual, and sacred-which have meaning and emotional impact for all; yet there is sharp disagreement between the two tribes and among the various age groups about the interpretation of these symbols. Anthropologist Loretta Fowler here examines the history and culture of the Gros Ventre over two centuries, seeking to discover why the residents of Fort Belknap ascribe different and often opposing meanings to their shared cultural symbols and how these differences have influenced Gros Ventre identity.Gros Ventre Indians (Mont.)Great PlainsHistoryGros Ventre Indians (Mont.)Great PlainsSocial life and customsAssiniboine IndiansHistoryAssiniboine IndiansSocial life and customsIndians of North AmericaHistoryIndians of North AmericaSocial life and customsGros Ventre Indians (Mont.)History.Gros Ventre Indians (Mont.)Social life and customs.Assiniboine IndiansHistoryAssiniboine IndiansSocial life and customsIndians of North AmericaHistoryIndians of North AmericaSocial life and customs978 .00497Fowler Loretta1944-791040DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996247867703316Shared Symbols, Contested Meanings2404531UNISA
