THE NEW TEMPLE ON THE PRAIRIE: LUCK RITUALS OF BIG STAKES BINGO AMONG THE TURTLE MOUNTAIN CHIPPEWA INDIANS OF NORTH DAKOTA
Author(s): Kade Ferris
Year: 2005
Summary
This essay explores some of the modern rituals, folk beliefs, and stories of the players who frequent the Turtle Mountain Bingo Palace. It is a unique look into a social activity that – on the surface – appears to be a completely European activity, but is instead one of the few social ways that a people walking a road between the aboriginal and modern worlds can continue to practice their magic-based culture.
