    Keywords: Bambara (African people)
    Abstract: This collection of 12 documents is about the Bambara, a Mande-speaking people located primarily in Mali, West Africa. It covers information from two time periods: 1910-1950s and 1988-2003. Materials on the first period consist of four books translated from French. The earliest of these books are by a French Roman Catholic missionary, Henry, and a colonial administrator, Monteil, who lived among the Bambara from around 1900 to 1923. Henry discusses Bambara psychology and religion through broader explorations into their ideas on human life, taboos, animism, cults, sacrifices, and ceremonials relating to circumcision, marriage and funerals, while Monteil focuses on history and administrative practices with particular emphasis on functions of age-groups, religious cults, secret societies and territorial lineages. Both authors occasionally characterize the Bambara using strongly negative stereotypes that seem highly colored by their own respective religious and political views. Comprehensive ethnographic information on Bambara culture and society can be found in the remaining two books, Dieterlen and Paques. Both authors are professional French ethnographers with extensive field work experience in the region. Materials on the second period focus on Bambara economy and household dynamics. Toulmin and Becker (1996) discuss the constraints and opportunities different household heads encounter in attempting to enhance their access to key productive resources (land, labor and capital in the form of cattle and cash). Wooten, Becker (2000) and Grosz Ngate examine the impacts of increasing commoditization of rural economy on household food security, gender and intra-household relations

    Keywords: Comanche Indians
    Abstract: This collection of 16 documents and a culture summary provide a variety of cultural, historical and environmental information from two historical periods. The first covers the Comanche's long history from antiquity to their first contact with Europeans in 1701, to their defeat by the United States army in the 1870s. The second is from 1875 to the 1990s, and includes the Comanche's 1875 confinement to a reservation, and 1901-1906 when that reservation was broken into scattered allotments. All documents are in English except Canonge which includes stories and folktales in the Comanche language with English translations. The Comanche are a loosely organized Native American group who, before their confinement to reservations, occupied the southern Great Plains grasslands across southeastern Colorado, eastern New Mexico, western Oklahoma, and western Texas. The headquarters of the Comanche Nation is now in southwest Oklahoma

    Keywords: Captain Marshall Field expedition to Madagascar, 1926-1927 ; Ethnology--Madagascar ; Tanala (Malagasy people) ; Tanala
    Abstract: This collection consists of a culture summary and one book. The book, authored by Ralph Linton, is based on his field work conducted in 1926-1927 and sponsored by the Field Museum. Although Linton was only among the Tanala for two months, he spent about one year and a half traveling throughout Madagascar, and as a result presents data on various other tribes of the island in comparison with that on the Tanala. The work is presented as a standard ethnography, with sections on tribal identification, economy, social organization, government, religion, warfare, amusement, art, life cycle, folklore, and a brief history of tribal wars. The Tanala, also called Antanala, are a Malagasy speaking people living in southeastern Madagascar, an island nation located off the eastern coast of southern Africa

    Keywords: Uttar Pradesh (India) ; Country life--India ; Missions--India ; India--Social life and customs ; Caste--India--Dhanaura ; Ethnology--India--Dhanaura ; Dhanaura, India ; Uttar Pradesh ; Uttar Pradesh
    Abstract: The Uttar Pradesh Collection covers cultural, economic and environmental information circa 1900s to mid-1980s. A majority of the included documents are village-level studies. The basic works to consult are two documents by anthropologist Edward Morris Opler and his India co-author Rudra Datt Singh. One of these works is a comparative study of the villages of Ramapur and Madhopur with particular emphasis on similarities and differences in aspects of the economy, political organization, social structure and the caste system. The other focuses on the nature of the caste-based division of labor and village life in Senapur. The information in these documents is enriched by four follow-up studies by Opler. Coverage includes the place of religion in village life, regional and inter-village socioeconomic ties, recent changes in family structure and local political economy

    Keywords: Mataco Indians ; Mataco ; Mataco
    Abstract: The Mataco are Native Americans who live in the northern and central Gran Chaco from Bolivia to Argentina. This file consists of eight documents, two of which are translations from Spanish (Pelleschi and Métraux 1944) and one from French (Dijour). The works of Pelleschi, Métraux, and to some extent Karsten complement one another and provide an excellent background for a study of the traditional Mataco culture (relevant to the periods of the authors' fieldwork ranging from approximately 1875 to the late 1930s). Alvarsson's monograph reviews previous literature on the area, provides additional reconstructive information on the Mataco before the colonization of the area, and updates the existing ethnographic data. This document, used in conjunction with the works of Pelleschi, Métraux, and Karsten, should provide the reader with a relatively complete overview of Mataco culture and society. Other works in the file provide information on Mataco folktales, marriage customs, suicide, and curing ceremonies

    Keywords: Tallensi (African people) ; Kinship ; Tallensi (African people)--Religion ; Talensi ; Talensi
    Abstract: Documents in the Tallensi Collection, all of them in English, cover cultural, economic and environmental information circa 1930 to 1994. Most are by Meyer Fortes, a leading British social anthropologist who conducted extensive fieldwork among the Tallensi in 1934-1937 and 1971. Fortes's works provide detailed first hand description and analysis of Tallensi society with particular emphasis on clans and lineages, kinship and social relations, and religious practices including divination, ancestor worship and moral life. Other documents in the collection compliment Fortes's seminal works by examining other themes relating to Tallensi culture and society including food culture, communal fishing, naming custom, the judicial process, ritual festivals, education and socialization, land tenure and settlement patterns. Most of the information in these documents was collected from a locality called Tongo which Fortes described as the biggest settlement in Tallensi land

    Keywords: Shipibo-Conibo Indians ; Shipibo
    Abstract: The Shipibo occupy the central Ŕio Ucayali region of eastern Peru and its major western tributaries. This file consists of twenty-four documents, three in Spanish, and the remaining twenty-one in English. The major time focus for these studies ranges from the 1950s to the 1980s. Most of the works consist of community studies centering around villages located in the Pisqui and Ucayali River areas of Peru (e.g., the villages of Nuevo Eden, Panaillo, Paococha, Yarinacocha, Roboya, and San Francisco de Yarinacocha). There is no single comprehensive work providing ethnographic coverage for all the Shipibo in Peru. The two works by Eakin, however -- one in Spanish and the second an updated version of the first but in English -- do provide a wide range of cultural data on the Shipibo of the Ucayali River area. In addition to these, Behrens (1988) provides comparable information on the village of Nuevo Eden, located at the headwaters of the Pisqui River. Other major topics discussed in this file are food, food production, agriculture, diet, the Shipibo ceramic industry, fertility and contraception, puberty rites, and kinship behavior and kinship terminology
