The essay proposes to show how a comparative analysis of the symbolism and ceremonies connected with the warrior societies of the Plains can shed light on the shared ideological pattern underlying the diversification of specific details and the particular nature of the various cultural contexts. This common background to variable and heterogeneous surface phenomena accounts for the continuity of some basic principles recognizable in the Native systems of thought.

Abstract
The essay proposes to show how a comparative analysis of the symbolism and ceremonies connected with the warrior societies of the Plains can shed light on the shared ideological pattern underlying the diversification of specific details and the particular nature of the various cultural contexts. This common background to variable and heterogeneous surface phenomena accounts for the continuity of some basic principles recognizable in the Native systems of thought.
