Summary |
This study is a detailed ethnographic description of aboriginal Yaki culture based on the memories of native informants who were living at the time of the author's field work in 1937. Major topics discussed in this work are: the economy; material culture; socio-political organization; life cycle events; leisure time activities (e.g., games, gambling, etc.); religion and the supernatural; shamanism and curing; and modern (ca. 1937) religious developments -- the Ghost Dance and the Pentecostal Movement. Appendix I of this work presents comparable ethnographic data on the Huchnom, a subgroup of the Yaki. |
