Summary/Abstract: The objective of this paper is to publish a chapter in Hungarian translation from one of the most notable works of the Presbyterian missionary Stephen Return Riggs (1812–1883), whose book—Tah-Koo Wah-Kan; or, the Gospel among the Dakotas (Boston: 1869)—is probably the first systematic description of the Dakota nation’s religion from an outsider’s viewpoint.
