Abstract:
The Yurok collection consists of all English language documents covering a variety of ethnographic topics. The major source of information on the Yurok is found in Heizer and Mills which is an account of a coastal village through time (ca. 1775-1952), supplemented by additional information from Kroeber, and Pilling. Two of the studies in this collection deal with the Yurok's own view of their culture, in Thompson, and Pilling. The remaining collection is rounded out by data on child training and world view in Erickson; marriage as examined through genealogical records, in Waterman and Kroeber; geography, in Waterman; law, in Kroeber; the tradition of music and songs among the Yurok, in Keeling; women's attitude toward menstruation and associated rituals in Buckley; and finally physical anthropology in Ferreira
