Ethnography Of The Cahuilla Indians (1908)

Ethnography of the Cahuilla Indians is a book written by Alfred L. Kroeber in 1908. It is a detailed study of the Cahuilla tribe, who were indigenous to the southern California area. The book is divided into four parts: the first part provides an overview of the Cahuilla people and their history, the second part discusses their social organization and customs, the third part focuses on their religion and mythology, and the fourth part examines their material culture, including their clothing, tools, and weapons. Kroeber's ethnography is based on his fieldwork among the Cahuilla people, which he conducted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He describes their language, economy, and daily life in great detail, and also provides insights into their beliefs and values. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of anthropology, and is still widely read and cited today. It provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Cahuilla people, as well as for scholars studying Native American cultures more broadly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
