    Keywords: Toda (Indic people) ; Toda ; Toda
    Abstract: The Toda collection covers a variety of cultural, linguistic and historical information from 1870s to 1980s. The earliest account was compiled by William Marshall, a British colonial official who, with help from missionaries in the Nilgiri hills, visited the Toda in 1870. It provides a firsthand description of Toda villages, family system, marriage and burial customs, diet, religion and rituals. Marshall's portrait of the Toda was largely shaped by a mix of European stereotypes and phrenological inferences. The remaining documents are based on research conducted in the 1900s, 1930s, 1940s and 1980s. W. H. R. Rivers systematically covers a broad range of Toda culture as observed in 1901-1902. The works of Emeneau and Peter compliment Rivers by documenting and examining more specific aspects of Toda culture including marriage regulations and taboos, beliefs and practices associated with menstruation, language and social forms and patterns of acculturation

    Abstract: The Gond collection covers a broad range of ethnographic topics dating from approximately 1854 to 2006, with an emphasis on the Gond tribes of Bastar State. The primary document in this collection is Grigson dealing with the general ethnography of the Maria Gond, particularly the Hill and Bison Horn Maria tribal groups. Grigson's data are further supplemented by the ethnographic description of Gond cultural life in Fuchs, and in Elwin. The Grigson's, Elwin's, and Fuchs' studies, however, are limited in time depth to the early and mid-twentieth century. Other topics of ethnographic interest are: the description and analysis of the ghotul, a communal dwelling where the young people of the Gond villages live; murder and suicide among the Bison Horn Maria; genealogical studies of the Gond people in Bastar State; and sociocultural changes in Orcha village introduced by the Indian government

    Keywords: Teda (African people) ; Tibbu (African people) ; French language--Dictionaries--Teda ; Tubu ; Tubu
    Abstract: The documents in the Teda collection, all of them in English, cover a wide variety of cultural, historical and ecological information, circa 1930s to 1980s. The basic sources to consult are two documents translated from French and German to English for HRAF. One is the work of Jean Chapelle, a Colonel in the French army who, arriving at the inception of the final French occupation in early 1930s, worked among the Teda of Tibesti for twenty-five years. The other is by Andreas Kronenberg, a German-speaking professional anthropologist, who conducted fieldwork in the same area in 1953-1954. Together, these documents provide comprehensive information on Teda culture, history, environment, settlement pattern, clan system, material culture, and religious life. The remaining documents compliment these classic ethnographic accounts with additional information. One of these documents provides a general description of Teda culture and society based on fieldwork both in Tibesti and two other locations not covered by previous researchers. A second document is an ethnographic dictionary with covers numerous small but often unique bits of information on a wide range of topics. The remaining last document is a journal article discussing how the Teda came to conquer the Chadian State by establishing dominance in central government in the later 1970s and early 1980s

    Keywords: Tuaregs ; Ahaggar Mountains (Algeria) ; Tuareg ; Tuareg
    Abstract: Documents in the Tuareg Collection provide a wide variety of cultural, historical and ecological information, circa 1908 to 2004. Maurice Benhazera, a French army interpreter who visited the Ahaggar region in 1905, describes pre-colonial Tuareg culture and daily life. Henri Lhote provides the first systematic description of Taureg society by a professional ethnologist based on materials (mostly relating to political organization, social classes, marriage system, descent, childbirth and adolescent) collected in 1929-1940. Cabot L. Briggs critiques the above two earlier sources based on fieldwork conducted in 1956. Nicolaisen covers a broad range of themes in Tuareg social organization and cultural ecology as observed in 1951-1962. The remaining articles by Rasmussen explore particular themes including conflict management practices, changes relating to witchcraft and morality, dynamics of class and ethnicity, and local perceptions of health and illness

    Keywords: Osage Indians ; Osage Indians--Folklore ; Osage Indians--Rites and ceremonies ; Osage Indians--Religion ; Osage mythology ; Osage Indians--Social life and customs ; Osage Indians--History ; Osage ; Osage
    Abstract: The Osage collection covers a variety of cultural, historical and environmental information on different sections of Osage society from pre-contact times to late 1990s. The works of James Owen Dorsey and George A. Dorsey represent the earliest systematic attempts at understanding and reconstructing pre-reservation Osage society and culture. However, the basic and most comprehensive sources in the collection are four works by Francis La Flesche, a native Omaha who studied the Osage in 1910-1920. Topics covered in these works include marriage customs, ceremonies and rituals and child-naming rites. The collection also includes other works by the anthropologist Garrick A. Bailey who conducted ethnographic field work among the Osage in Oklahoma in the mid-1960s and 1970s. Two of these works are broad descriptions of Osage culture and history. The remaining two works, Bailey explores similarities and differences between the traditional Osage world described by La Flesche and the Osage world of later times with particular reference to religion and rituals and social organization. Also included in the collection is an article exploring ideas of justice and punishment held by various Indians and Europeans, ending with the trial of several Osage men accused by the United States of the kind of killing that the Osage had done for a century in protection of their trade and land rights

    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: Rundi (African people) ; Hutu (African people)--Tanzania--Ethnic identity ; Political refugees--Burundi ; Political refugees--Tanzania ; Burundi ; Burundi
    Abstract: The Burundi collection provides historical, cultural and economic information on Burundi culture and society, circa 1907-1998. Documents that discuss the colonial period cover important themes including physical geography and material culture, ethnicity and social structure, law and custom, and gender roles and cultural ideals. Other documents deal with political processes and important historical events in the post independence period including the politics of genocide in the Great Lakes region. This includes R. Lemarchand's analysis of the genocide of Hutu by Tutsi in Burundi (1972), of Tutsi and Hutu by Hutu in Rwanda (1994) and of Hutu by Tutsi in Congo (1996-1997). Also included is a book by a professional anthropologist who lived among Burundian Hutu refugees in Tanzania. Malkki focuses on the ways the displacement of these Hutu refugees led to the creation of "essentialist" ethnic identities and the horrible violence generated both in Burundi and neighboring countries
