Native American Courtship & Marriage

Author Leslie Gourse has created a helpful guide for adapting and incorporating traditional Native American marriage customs into today's modern weddings. Descriptions of weddings of the Hopi, Lakota, Iroquois, Oglala and others provide a historic sense of Native traditions.

Highlights include: helpful hints to brides and grooms on how to weave Native customs, clothing, jewelry and crafts into their ceremonies; love songs, poems and stories from the Dakota, Shoshone, Zuni and Algonquin; plus, recipes for traditional dishes to serve at modern receptions.
