    Keywords: Baseri tribe ; Basseri ; Basseri
    Abstract: In addition to a culture summary, the Basseri collection consists of two anthropological studies by Fredrik Barth. The first, published in 1961, is based on ethnographic materials collected in the period from December 1957 to July 1958 while the author was living with the Danbar tribal section of Basseri. The book describes and analyses Basseri social and economic organization in terms of a general ecological perspective. The focus is on the processes through which the Basseri organize nomadic herding and relate to one another as members of different households, herding units, camps, lineages (oulad) and tribal sections (tira). The second document, published in 1964, discusses the nature of Basseri pastoral economy and its implications for social structure. Together, these documents provide a first-hand account and analysis of Basseri economy and social organization, but contain little information on arts, language, medicine, death and afterlife. The Basseri are a pastoral nomadic people living around Shiraz, capital of the Iranian province of Fars, in land that stretches between deserts in the south to high mountain ranges in the north

    Keywords: Comanche Indians ; Comanchen ; Comanchen
    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: Tehuelche Indians--Folklore ; Tehuelche mythology ; Tehuelche Indians ; Tzoneca language--Glossaries, vocabularies, etc ; Patagonia--Description and travel ; Indians of South America--Costume ; ndians of South America--Patagonia (Argentina and Chile) ; Tehuelche ; Tehuelche
    Abstract: This collection about the Tehuelche consists of ten documents; eight in English and two in Spanish. The documents can be broadly categorized into three groups by time period and the information they cover. The first group consists of documents by a colonial administrator and a European explorer of Patagonia, and provide a first-hand account of Tehuelche society and culture, with particular emphasis on hunting methods, diet, warfare, social organization, inter-ethnic relations, religion, important ceremonies and the natural environment, prior to their forced encampment in reserves in the 1880s. The second group consists of documents by professional anthropologists who sought to recreate a picture of pre-conquest Tehuelche society by building on information by earlier writers. Topics covered by these documents include aspects of culture, territoriality and social structure, folklore, and mythology. The third group consists of just one book, but fills a critical gap by documenting the political and cultural processes that led to the gradual extinction of the Tehuelche beginning from their first contact with Europeans in 1520 to their final forced encampment in reserves in the 1880s. The Tehuelche were primarily hunter-gatherers living mostly in Patagonia, Argentina, and southern Chile

    Abstract: This collection of fifteen documents centers primarily on the city of Rome, and secondarily on the Roman Empire at the height of the imperial period. All documents are in English (and some are also in Latin). Most focus on the first century AD, particularly from the death of Augustus in 14 AD to the accession of Trajan in 98 AD, with less emphasis on the principate of Augustus itself and on the period of 99-192 AD. The most comprehensive studies for an overall understanding of Imperial Roman history and ethnography are: Carcopino, Rostovtsev, Lewis and Reinhold, and Pellisson. Both Carcopino and Pellisson are chiefly concerned with the daily life of the citizens of Rome, while Rostovtsev deals with the social and economic history of the empire, and Lewis and Reinhold with imperial policies and administration, economic life, society and culture, life in the municipalities and provinces, the Roman army, law, and religion (particularly with the rise and eventual triumph of Christianity). The works by Columella present one of the most comprehensive and systematic of all treatises by a Roman writer on agricultural affairs and animal husbandry. Loane presents a detailed study of the provisioning of the city of Rome (50 BC-200 AD), including data on various aspects of trade, manufacturing, and other associated commercial activities. Rivenburg gives an account of what Seneca thought about the fashionable life and manners of this day (i. e., 35-65 AD). Tanzier, an archaeologist, attempts to study the life of the common people of Pompeii as revealed through their graffiti, friezes, and wall paintings which were preserved in the ashes resulting from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. The documents by Pliny the Elder are all from his Natural History, and deal with ethnometeorology and ethnogeography, ethnosociology, ethnopsychology and ethoanatomy, the medicinal use of plants, and a study of metals, minerals and a history of art

    Keywords: Burusho ; Hunzukuc ; Hunzukuc
    Abstract: This collection consists of 9 documents about the Burusho, a mountain people living primarily in the Hunza valley, but also in the Nagar and Yasin areas, and in the Gilgit district of the northern areas of Pakistan. All are in English except Lorimer, which provides both the original text in Burushaski and its translation into English. Four documents by David L. Lorimer, a British political agent who lived in Hunza from 1920 to 1924, and his wife, Emily O. Lorimer, focus on folklore, local traditions and linguistic issues. John Tobe's work tries to correct popular western views which wrongly regarded Hunza as a paradise where people live extraordinarily long healthy lifes. John Clark compliments Tobe's work by listing the many cases of disease which he encountered while maintaining a general dispensary in the area in 1948-1951. The remaining two documents discuss economy, ecology and social organization

    Abstract: This collection of 28 documents about the peoples of the Woleai Region focuses primarily on the atoll of Ifaluk, and contains information on three time periods: the early 20th century, the late 1940s-mid-1950s, and the late 1980s to the early 1990s. The earliest information comes from travel reports by German explorers and missionaries who lived and worked in the region from 1904-1910; the other writings are by professional anthropologists. Together, the documents show that life in this region remains largely traditional, despite many years of administration by successive external powers. The Woleai Region is an administrative section of Yap State of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Woleai is the largest group of closely related atolls in the central and west-central Caroline Islands that also includes Eauripik, Ifaluk, Faraulep, Elato, and Lamotrek. Residents label themselves by means of a nominal prefixed to their particular island name, as in reweleya, which means "person of Woleai (nationality)" and speak dialects of Woleaian, a Micronesian language of the Eatern Oceanic Branch of Austronesian

    Abstract: This collection of six documents about the Semang covers four time periods: mid-1920s to late 1930s, mid-1950s, early 1970s, and 1993-1996. It documents the Semang's engagement with state and market forces over the degradation of the forests from which they take their identity and modes of life. At least nine distinct cultural-linguistic subgroups still exist: Kensiu of eastern Kedah (near Baling) and southern Thailand (Yala Province); Kintak of northwestern Perak (near Gerik); Jahai of northestern Perak and northwestern Kelantan; Lanòh of northwestern Perak (near Gerik); Mendriq of central Kelantan; Batèk D̀̀̀̀̀è' of southeastern Kelantan and northern Pahang; Batèk Nòng of central Pahang (near Jerantut); Mintil of north-central Pahang (near Cegar Perah); and Mos (or Chong) of the Pattalung-Trang area in southern peninsular Thailand.

    Keywords: Bambara (African people) ; Bambara ; Bambara
    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: Siriono Indians ; Siriono Indians--Cultural assimilation ; Indians of South America--Bolivia--Cultural assimilation ; Sirionó ; Sirionó
    Abstract: This collection about the Sirionó consists of five English language documents plus a culture summary, covering a time span from approximately 1900 to 1984. The Holmberg and Stearman studies are the basic works providing a broad general coverage of Sirionó ethnography. Holmberg is the classic study of the Sirionó based on his fieldwork among these people in 1940-1941. Stearman is largely a review of Holmberg's fieldwork with an update of ethnographic material to about 1984. She describes the affects of acculturation on the Sirionó since Holmberg's visit, and provides additional data on the general economy. Material culture is described and illustrated in Ryden and in Radwan. Radwan also presents some brief comments on general ethnography and on contacts with missionaries. The Sirionó inhabit an extensive tropical forest in northern and eastern Bolivia

    Keywords: Baseri tribe
    Abstract: In addition to a culture summary, the Basseri collection consists of two anthropological studies by Fredrik Barth. The first, published in 1961, is based on ethnographic materials collected in the period from December 1957 to July 1958 while the author was living with the Danbar tribal section of Basseri. The book describes and analyses Basseri social and economic organization in terms of a general ecological perspective. The focus is on the processes through which the Basseri organize nomadic herding and relate to one another as members of different households, herding units, camps, lineages (oulad) and tribal sections (tira). The second document, published in 1964, discusses the nature of Basseri pastoral economy and its implications for social structure. Together, these documents provide a first-hand account and analysis of Basseri economy and social organization, but contain little information on arts, language, medicine, death and afterlife. The Basseri are a pastoral nomadic people living around Shiraz, capital of the Iranian province of Fars, in land that stretches between deserts in the south to high mountain ranges in the north

    Keywords: Acculturation ; Cree Indians ; Cree Indians--Social life and customs
    Abstract: This collection of eight documents is about the Western Woods Cree who lived aboriginally in the boreal forests from Hudson and James Bays westward to the Peace River in Canada. In the early twenty-first century they are found primarily in the region between Lake Superior and Hudson Bay. Mason provides an overview of the Western Woods Cree ethnography; Smith (1981) presents a brief summary of some of the major features of their ethnography dating from the seventeenth to the late twentieth centuries, with an emphasis on the western Swampy and Rocky Cree populations. Two of the studies in this collection by Smith (1976, 1987) discuss and analyze the ethnological 'myth' dealing with the movement of the Western Woods Cree to the southwest areas at the time of the initial Euro-American contact. According to this belief French and English guns gave the Cree technological superiority over their neighbors to the west and southwest and permitted them to move easily into the conquered lands. Evidence for pottery making at the time of early Euro-American contacts is discussed by Meyer. Fisher describes the socio-cultural evolution of the hunting band discussed in terms of social, ecological, and historical variables within the society. Hallowell presents a study of cross-cousin marriage in relationship to the kinship system

    Abstract: ^^ - Ute - Donald Callaway, Joel C. Janetski, and Omer C. Stewart - 1986 -- - Bibliography - Warren L. D'Azevedo, volume editor - 1986
    Abstract: This collection of 11 documents and a culture summary cover Ute society from pre-contact times to the 1980s. Studies include the earliest systematic attempts at reconstructing pre-reservation Ute culture and society, with particular emphasis on organization and composition of bands, settlement patterns and land use practices, as remembered by elderly informants in the 1930s and 1940s. These works also include detailed first hand descriptions of a bear dance performance, a peyote meeting and the sun dance which the authors personally observed. Other topics include mythology, concepts of nature and power, effects of oil money and development intervention and, aspects of history. Ute society was internally divided into several, but continuously fluid, bands and the history and interaction of each band with the state and market forces varied greatly. The Ute are a Native American group located in Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. At the time of European contact in the 1600s and 1700s, the Ute occupied much of central and eastern Utah and all of western Colorado, as well as minor portions of northwestern New Mexico, living as nomadic hunters and gatherers

    Keywords: Indians of South America--Bolivia--Cultural assimilation ; Siriono Indians ; Siriono Indians--Cultural assimilation
    Abstract: This collection about the Siriońo consists of five English language documents plus a culture summary, covering a time span from approximately 1900 to 1984. The Holmberg and Stearman studies are the basic works providing a broad general coverage of Siriońo ethnography. Holmberg is the classic study of the Siriońo based on his fieldwork among these people in 1940-1941. Stearman is largely a review of Holmberg's fieldwork with an update of ethnographic material to about 1984. She describes the affects of acculturation on the Siriońo since Holmberg's visit, and provides additional data on the general economy. Material culture is described and illustrated in Ryden and in Radwan. Radwan also presents some brief comments on general ethnography and on contacts with missionaries. The Siriońo inhabit an extensive tropical forest in northern and eastern Bolivia

    Abstract: This collection about the Tehuelche consists of ten documents; eight in English and two in Spanish. The documents can be broadly categorized into three groups by time period and the information they cover. The first group consists of documents by a colonial administrator and a European explorer of Patagonia, and provide a first-hand account of Tehuelche society and culture, with particular emphasis on hunting methods, diet, warfare, social organization, inter-ethnic relations, religion, important ceremonies and the natural environment, prior to their forced encampment in reserves in the 1880s. The second group consists of documents by professional anthropologists who sought to recreate a picture of pre-conquest Tehuelche society by building on information by earlier writers. Topics covered by these documents include aspects of culture, territoriality and social structure, folklore, and mythology. The third group consists of just one book, but fills a critical gap by documenting the political and cultural processes that led to the gradual extinction of the Tehuelche beginning from their first contact with Europeans in 1520 to their final forced encampment in reserves in the 1880s. The Tehuelche were primarily hunter-gatherers living mostly in Patagonia, Argentina, and southern Chile

    Keywords: Burusho
    Abstract: This collection consists of 9 documents about the Burusho, a mountain people living primarily in the Hunza valley, but also in the Nagar and Yasin areas, and in the Gilgit district of the northern areas of Pakistan. All are in English except Lorimer, which provides both the original text in Burushaski and its translation into English. Four documents by David L. Lorimer, a British political agent who lived in Hunza from 1920 to 1924, and his wife, Emily O. Lorimer, focus on folklore, local traditions and linguistic issues. John Tobe's work tries to correct popular western views which wrongly regarded Hunza as a paradise where people live extraordinarily long healthy lifes. John Clark compliments Tobe's work by listing the many cases of disease which he encountered while maintaining a general dispensary in the area in 1948-1951. The remaining two documents discuss economy, ecology and social organization

    Abstract: This collection of fifteen documents centers primarily on the city of Rome, and secondarily on the Roman Empire at the height of the imperial period. All documents are in English (and some are also in Latin). Most focus on the first century AD, particularly from the death of Augustus in 14 AD to the accession of Trajan in 98 AD, with less emphasis on the principate of Augustus itself and on the period of 99-192 AD. The most comprehensive studies for an overall understanding of Imperial Roman history and ethnography are: Carcopino, Rostovtsev, Lewis and Reinhold, and Pellisson. Both Carcopino and Pellisson are chiefly concerned with the daily life of the citizens of Rome, while Rostovtsev deals with the social and economic history of the empire, and Lewis and Reinhold with imperial policies and administration, economic life, society and culture, life in the municipalities and provinces, the Roman army, law, and religion (particularly with the rise and eventual triumph of Christianity). The works by Columella present one of the most comprehensive and systematic of all treatises by a Roman writer on agricultural affairs and animal husbandry. Loane presents a detailed study of the provisioning of the city of Rome (50 BC-200 AD), including data on various aspects of trade, manufacturing, and other associated commercial activities. Rivenburg gives an account of what Seneca thought about the fashionable life and manners of this day (i. e., 35-65 AD). Tanzier, an archaeologist, attempts to study the life of the common people of Pompeii as revealed through their graffiti, friezes, and wall paintings which were preserved in the ashes resulting from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. The documents by Pliny the Elder are all from his Natural History, and deal with ethnometeorology and ethnogeography, ethnosociology, ethnopsychology and ethoanatomy, the medicinal use of plants, and a study of metals, minerals and a history of art

    Abstract: The collection about the people of Ulithi consists of two documents and a culture summary. The two documents, both by Lessa and both in English, cover the time span from about 1900 to 1949. They present a comprehensive ethnographic study of Ulithi Atoll conducted by the author over a nine month period of fieldwork from 1947 through 1949, and a collection of previously unpublished myths and folktales from Ulithi. The people of Ulithi live on the Ulithi atoll in the west-central Caroline Islands of the western Pacific, and speak a dialect of Chuukese. Ulithi has undergone strong culture change since the atoll came under United States control in 1944

    Abstract: This collection of 28 documents about the peoples of the Woleai Region focuses primarily on the atoll of Ifaluk, and contains information on three time periods: the early 20th century, the late 1940s-mid-1950s, and the late 1980s to the early 1990s. The earliest information comes from travel reports by German explorers and missionaries who lived and worked in the region from 1904-1910; the other writings are by professional anthropologists. Together, the documents show that life in this region remains largely traditional, despite many years of administration by successive external powers. The Woleai Region is an administrative section of Yap State of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Woleai is the largest group of closely related atolls in the central and west-central Caroline Islands that also includes Eauripik, Ifaluk, Faraulep, Elato, and Lamotrek. Residents label themselves by means of a nominal prefixed to their particular island name, as in reweleya, which means "person of Woleai (nationality)" and speak dialects of Woleaian, a Micronesian language of the Eatern Oceanic Branch of Austronesian

    Keywords: Acculturation ; Cree Indians ; Cree Indians--Social life and customs
    Abstract: This collection of eight documents is about the Western Woods Cree who lived aboriginally in the boreal forests from Hudson and James Bays westward to the Peace River in Canada. In the early twenty-first century they are found primarily in the region between Lake Superior and Hudson Bay. Mason provides an overview of the Western Woods Cree ethnography; Smith (1981) presents a brief summary of some of the major features of their ethnography dating from the seventeenth to the late twentieth centuries, with an emphasis on the western Swampy and Rocky Cree populations. Two of the studies in this collection by Smith (1976, 1987) discuss and analyze the ethnological 'myth' dealing with the movement of the Western Woods Cree to the southwest areas at the time of the initial Euro-American contact. According to this belief French and English guns gave the Cree technological superiority over their neighbors to the west and southwest and permitted them to move easily into the conquered lands. Evidence for pottery making at the time of early Euro-American contacts is discussed by Meyer. Fisher describes the socio-cultural evolution of the hunting band discussed in terms of social, ecological, and historical variables within the society. Hallowell presents a study of cross-cousin marriage in relationship to the kinship system

    Keywords: Baseri tribe
    Abstract: In addition to a culture summary, the Basseri collection consists of two anthropological studies by Fredrik Barth. The first, published in 1961, is based on ethnographic materials collected in the period from December 1957 to July 1958 while the author was living with the Danbar tribal section of Basseri. The book describes and analyses Basseri social and economic organization in terms of a general ecological perspective. The focus is on the processes through which the Basseri organize nomadic herding and relate to one another as members of different households, herding units, camps, lineages (oulad) and tribal sections (tira). The second document, published in 1964, discusses the nature of Basseri pastoral economy and its implications for social structure. Together, these documents provide a first-hand account and analysis of Basseri economy and social organization, but contain little information on arts, language, medicine, death and afterlife. The Basseri are a pastoral nomadic people living around Shiraz, capital of the Iranian province of Fars, in land that stretches between deserts in the south to high mountain ranges in the north

    Keywords: Indians of South America--Bolivia--Cultural assimilation ; Siriono Indians ; Siriono Indians--Cultural assimilation
    Abstract: This collection about the Siriońo consists of five English language documents plus a culture summary, covering a time span from approximately 1900 to 1984. The Holmberg and Stearman studies are the basic works providing a broad general coverage of Siriońo ethnography. Holmberg is the classic study of the Siriońo based on his fieldwork among these people in 1940-1941. Stearman is largely a review of Holmberg's fieldwork with an update of ethnographic material to about 1984. She describes the affects of acculturation on the Siriońo since Holmberg's visit, and provides additional data on the general economy. Material culture is described and illustrated in Ryden and in Radwan. Radwan also presents some brief comments on general ethnography and on contacts with missionaries. The Siriońo inhabit an extensive tropical forest in northern and eastern Bolivia

    Abstract: This collection of fifteen documents centers primarily on the city of Rome, and secondarily on the Roman Empire at the height of the imperial period. All documents are in English (and some are also in Latin). Most focus on the first century AD, particularly from the death of Augustus in 14 AD to the accession of Trajan in 98 AD, with less emphasis on the principate of Augustus itself and on the period of 99-192 AD. The most comprehensive studies for an overall understanding of Imperial Roman history and ethnography are: Carcopino, Rostovtsev, Lewis and Reinhold, and Pellisson. Both Carcopino and Pellisson are chiefly concerned with the daily life of the citizens of Rome, while Rostovtsev deals with the social and economic history of the empire, and Lewis and Reinhold with imperial policies and administration, economic life, society and culture, life in the municipalities and provinces, the Roman army, law, and religion (particularly with the rise and eventual triumph of Christianity). The works by Columella present one of the most comprehensive and systematic of all treatises by a Roman writer on agricultural affairs and animal husbandry. Loane presents a detailed study of the provisioning of the city of Rome (50 BC-200 AD), including data on various aspects of trade, manufacturing, and other associated commercial activities. Rivenburg gives an account of what Seneca thought about the fashionable life and manners of this day (i. e., 35-65 AD). Tanzier, an archaeologist, attempts to study the life of the common people of Pompeii as revealed through their graffiti, friezes, and wall paintings which were preserved in the ashes resulting from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. The documents by Pliny the Elder are all from his Natural History, and deal with ethnometeorology and ethnogeography, ethnosociology, ethnopsychology and ethoanatomy, the medicinal use of plants, and a study of metals, minerals and a history of art

    Keywords: Ute Indians
    Abstract: ^^ - Ute - Donald Callaway, Joel C. Janetski, and Omer C. Stewart - 1986 -- - Bibliography - Warren L. D'Azevedo, volume editor - 1986
    Abstract: This collection of 11 documents and a culture summary cover Ute society from pre-contact times to the 1980s. Studies include the earliest systematic attempts at reconstructing pre-reservation Ute culture and society, with particular emphasis on organization and composition of bands, settlement patterns and land use practices, as remembered by elderly informants in the 1930s and 1940s. These works also include detailed first hand descriptions of a bear dance performance, a peyote meeting and the sun dance which the authors personally observed. Other topics include mythology, concepts of nature and power, effects of oil money and development intervention and, aspects of history. Ute society was internally divided into several, but continuously fluid, bands and the history and interaction of each band with the state and market forces varied greatly. The Ute are a Native American group located in Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. At the time of European contact in the 1600s and 1700s, the Ute occupied much of central and eastern Utah and all of western Colorado, as well as minor portions of northwestern New Mexico, living as nomadic hunters and gatherers

    Abstract: This collection of 28 documents about the peoples of the Woleai Region focuses primarily on the atoll of Ifaluk, and contains information on three time periods: the early 20th century, the late 1940s-mid-1950s, and the late 1980s to the early 1990s. The earliest information comes from travel reports by German explorers and missionaries who lived and worked in the region from 1904-1910; the other writings are by professional anthropologists. Together, the documents show that life in this region remains largely traditional, despite many years of administration by successive external powers. The Woleai Region is an administrative section of Yap State of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Woleai is the largest group of closely related atolls in the central and west-central Caroline Islands that also includes Eauripik, Ifaluk, Faraulep, Elato, and Lamotrek. Residents label themselves by means of a nominal prefixed to their particular island name, as in reweleya, which means "person of Woleai (nationality)" and speak dialects of Woleaian, a Micronesian language of the Eatern Oceanic Branch of Austronesian

    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: Cherokee Indians ; Cherokee Indians--Social life and customs ; North Carolina--Social life and customs
    Abstract: This collection about the Cherokee consists of 46 documents, and covers the time span from 1540, the period of the first Cherokee-European contacts, to the early twenty-first century. Emphasis is placed on culture history, economy, society, and Cherokee-Euro-American relations. Others focus on folklore, myths, and magical formulas. Most deal with the topics of socio-cultural change and acculturation. Three authors, Strickland, Reid, and Reid, concentrate on Cherokee law and government. Fox deals with sex and gender in Cherokee society; Perdue with the invention of the Cherokee writing system; McLoughlin with the origin and development of the Cherokee Ghost Dance; and both Irwin and Fogelson cover shamanism, witchcraft, sorcery, and mysticism. The Cherokee are an Iroquoian-speaking people who originally occupied the southern Appalachians of North America. In 1838-1839 a major portion of the Cherokee were forcibly removed from their homeland by the United States government to the present state of Oklahoma along the infamous Trail of Tears. In the early twenty-first century there are two main groups: the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma and United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma

    Abstract: This collection of six documents about the Semang covers four time periods: mid-1920s to late 1930s, mid-1950s, early 1970s, and 1993-1996. It documents the Semang's engagement with state and market forces over the degradation of the forests from which they take their identity and modes of life. At least nine distinct cultural-linguistic subgroups still exist: Kensiu of eastern Kedah (near Baling) and southern Thailand (Yala Province); Kintak of northwestern Perak (near Gerik); Jahai of northestern Perak and northwestern Kelantan; Lanòh of northwestern Perak (near Gerik); Mendriq of central Kelantan; Batèk D̀̀̀̀̀è' of southeastern Kelantan and northern Pahang; Batèk Nòng of central Pahang (near Jerantut); Mintil of north-central Pahang (near Cegar Perah); and Mos (or Chong) of the Pattalung-Trang area in southern peninsular Thailand.

    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: Black Carib Indians ; Garifuna ; Garifuna
    Abstract: This collection of 22 documents describe the Garifuna, also called Black Caribs, who live on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua, Honduras and Belize. The time period covered is from 1000 to 2000. Fieldwork covers a time span of almost 50 years from 1947 to 1993. Nine of the documents are doctoral dissertations. Basic ethnographies are provided by Taylor, Coelho, and Munroe. Historical perspectives of Garifuna cultural formation are provided by Gonzalez and Gullick. Four articles examine ethnic relations with respect to language use and mating/marital patterns. The Garifuna practice of couvade has been a focus of anthropological inquiry, beginning with Munroe. Chernela reinterprets the meaning of the couvade as practiced by the Garifuna. Coe and Anderson survey the region's ethnobotany. Palacio examines the Garifuna food exchange system and more specifically looks at the relationships between food sharing and fosterage, and age and residence patterns. Other topics covered include language shift in relation to new class formation and ethnic identity, gender roles, women's role in social organization, the control of young women's sexual behavior by older women, ethnomedicine, folk songs, and spirit possession

    Keywords: Badaga (Indic people) ; Bevölkerung ; Badaga ; Badaga ; Bevölkerung
    Abstract: This collection of 10 documents is about the Badaga and covers the period from 1550 to the 1990s. The Badagas are the largest community in the Nilgiri Hills at the junction of Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu states in southern India. Paul Hockings authored eight of these documents, and his work covers Badaga culture from the first contact with Europeans in the early 1800s up to 1995. His strengths are a thorough analysis of social organization and structure, including kinship, marriage and their associated rituals. Two early sources (Thurston 1909, and Sastri 1891-1892) provide overviews of selected aspects of Badaga society and culture

    Keywords: San (African people) ; San ; San
    Abstract: This collection about the San consists of 80 English language documents, three of which are translations from the German (Kaufman, Lebzelter, and Werner). The time span ranges from prehistory, to the early San-European contact period (ca. 1650s-1850s), to the late twentieth century. Most of the documents deal with various !Kung San groups in Namibia, and Botswana (e.g., in the Dobe, Nyae Nyae, G/wi, and Heikum areas). There is also some data on the San of southern Angola and the Republic of South Africa. Major topics of note include kinship, infant behavior and child development, San-European contacts and cultural change, trade, and San knowledge about nature and man

    Abstract: This collection of 14 documents describes the Manus people during the period from 1870 to 1992, with a concentration on the 1920s. The Manus are residents of the Papua New Guinea province of Manus. The American anthropologist Margaret Mead (1901-1978) conducted fieldwork on the island from 1928-1929 and again in 1953. This collection contains several her works, including her main monographs on personality development and a follow-up study, 25 years later, on the same subject. The other works by Mead in this collection focus on kinship, animism and children's thought, trade and exchange, and a general introduction to Manus culture and society. Fortune wrote on the Manus religion. Carrier and Schwartz wrote on the Manus economy. Gustafsson wrote his doctoral dissertation on Manus leadership. Otto examines the life of one particular leader, Paliau Maloat, and the history of the movement he led. Romanucci-Ross examines Manus medical treatment

    Keywords: Black Carib Indians
    Abstract: This collection of 22 documents describe the Garifuna, also called Black Caribs, who live on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua, Honduras and Belize. The time period covered is from 1000 to 2000. Fieldwork covers a time span of almost 50 years from 1947 to 1993. Nine of the documents are doctoral dissertations. Basic ethnographies are provided by Taylor, Coelho, and Munroe. Historical perspectives of Garifuna cultural formation are provided by Gonzalez and Gullick. Four articles examine ethnic relations with respect to language use and mating/marital patterns. The Garifuna practice of couvade has been a focus of anthropological inquiry, beginning with Munroe. Chernela reinterprets the meaning of the couvade as practiced by the Garifuna. Coe and Anderson survey the region's ethnobotany. Palacio examines the Garifuna food exchange system and more specifically looks at the relationships between food sharing and fosterage, and age and residence patterns. Other topics covered include language shift in relation to new class formation and ethnic identity, gender roles, women's role in social organization, the control of young women's sexual behavior by older women, ethnomedicine, folk songs, and spirit possession

    Keywords: Badaga (Indic people)
    Abstract: This collection of 10 documents is about the Badaga and covers the period from 1550 to the 1990s. The Badagas are the largest community in the Nilgiri Hills at the junction of Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu states in southern India. Paul Hockings authored eight of these documents, and his work covers Badaga culture from the first contact with Europeans in the early 1800s up to 1995. His strengths are a thorough analysis of social organization and structure, including kinship, marriage and their associated rituals. Two early sources (Thurston 1909, and Sastri 1891-1892) provide overviews of selected aspects of Badaga society and culture

    Keywords: Black Carib Indians ; Garifuna ; Garifuna
    Abstract: This collection of 16 documents describes the Island Carib during the period from 1492 to 1992. Occupying the Lesser Antilles, the Island Carib were among the first peoples encountered by Europeans in the New World. They fiercely resisted European intrusion, finding their last refuge on the mountain island of Dominica, where they continue to live within the Carib Territory (formerly the Carib Reserve). The Dominican Carib constitute a distinct ethnic minority within the largely Creole population of this West Indian island. Four documents are missionary accounts from the 17th century, all translated from French into English. A late 19th century account is provided by Ober and early 20th century summary by Neveu-Lemaire. Other documents cover the topics of kinship and social structure, dietary and occupational restrictions, basketry, ethnobotany, and the recent resurgence of Carib identity and ethnicity

    Keywords: Badaga (Indic people)
    Abstract: This collection of 10 documents is about the Badaga and covers the period from 1550 to the 1990s. The Badagas are the largest community in the Nilgiri Hills at the junction of Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu states in southern India. Paul Hockings authored eight of these documents, and his work covers Badaga culture from the first contact with Europeans in the early 1800s up to 1995. His strengths are a thorough analysis of social organization and structure, including kinship, marriage and their associated rituals. Two early sources (Thurston 1909, and Sastri 1891-1892) provide overviews of selected aspects of Badaga society and culture

    Keywords: Manus (Papua New Guinea people)
    Abstract: This collection of 14 documents describes the Manus people during the period from 1870 to 1992, with a concentration on the 1920s. The Manus are residents of the Papua New Guinea province of Manus. The American anthropologist Margaret Mead (1901-1978) conducted fieldwork on the island from 1928-1929 and again in 1953. This collection contains several her works, including her main monographs on personality development and a follow-up study, 25 years later, on the same subject. The other works by Mead in this collection focus on kinship, animism and children's thought, trade and exchange, and a general introduction to Manus culture and society. Fortune wrote on the Manus religion. Carrier and Schwartz wrote on the Manus economy. Gustafsson wrote his doctoral dissertation on Manus leadership. Otto examines the life of one particular leader, Paliau Maloat, and the history of the movement he led. Romanucci-Ross examines Manus medical treatment
