This necessarily emphasizes ââthe implications of incorporating whites in Lakota ceremonies and the independent use of the ceremony by nonIndiansââ (15). In the ï¬nal chapter, Bucko considers the signiï¬cance of the sweat lodge as a cultural vehicle for incorporating persons into Lakota groups within the cultural prerogatives of their system of kinship. In chapter six he examines the ceremonyâs role ââwithin the larger context of social exchange and interactionââ (15).

In chapter four he addresses the role of the Lakota language and other types of communication that occur in and through the sweat. In the third chapter, he scrutinizes the recorders of the texts in the ethnographic record, which reveals certain contentions about the regulation of practice across a variety of groups of believers, including assorted outsiders. This also reï¬ects transformations in the social life of Lakotas.
