Standing Ground: Yurok Indian Spirituality, 1850-1990 - by Thomas Buckley

Thomas Buckley’s Standing Ground focuses on the Yurok tribe’s spiritual practices and beliefs during a turbulent period of cultural transformation. From 1850 to 1950, the Yurok people faced the pressures of colonization, forced assimilation, and cultural loss. Buckley examines how their religious and spiritual traditions adapted and persisted despite these challenges. Drawing on oral histories, ethnographic research, and archival material, the book highlights how the Yurok maintained their identity, grounded in a connection to land, ancestors, and sacred rituals.
