The Southwestern Chippewa: An Ethnohistorical Study is a comprehensive exploration of the history and culture of the Chippewa people, specifically those who lived in the southwestern United States. The author, Harold Hickerson, combines his expertise in anthropology and history to provide a detailed analysis of the Chippewa's migration to the Southwest, their interactions with other Native American tribes and European settlers, and their cultural practices and beliefs. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of Chippewa life. The first section provides an overview of the Chippewa's migration to the Southwest and their early interactions with other tribes. The second section delves into the Chippewa's social and political organization, including their kinship systems and leadership structures. The third section explores the Chippewa's religious beliefs and practices, including their creation stories, ceremonies, and use of sacred objects. Throughout the book, Hickerson draws on a variety of sources, including historical documents, ethnographic accounts, and interviews with Chippewa elders. He also includes numerous maps and photographs to help readers visualize the Chippewa's movements and cultural practices. Overall, The Southwestern Chippewa: An Ethnohistorical Study is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American history and culture, as well as for scholars in anthropology and history. It provides a thorough and nuanced understanding of the Chippewa people and their place in the complex history of the Southwest. American Anthropologist, V64, No. 3, Part 2, Memoir 92.

This study of kinship relations, economics, and household organization among the modern Longhouse Iroquois, located in Ontario, Canada, fills a crucial gap in our knowledge of modern Iroquoian culture and history and provides a treasury of information about Longhouse social organization. Founded by nearly two thousand Iroquois allies of the British crown in 1784, the Six Nations Reserve became the first Iroquoian community to contain members of all five tribes of the original Iroquois Confederacy. By the mid-twentieth century, the reserve had divided along the lines of politics and religion into two distinct social groups, those who practiced Christianity and the followers of the more traditional Longhouse religion. In the late 1950s, Merlin G. Myers conducted fieldwork among these traditionalists. He collected data on household structure and kinship relations from 150 families and interpreted his findings within the context of structural-functional anthropology, providing a rare example of British anthropological theory from this time applied to a North American Native community. His work also features valuable Cayuga linguistic contributions.

The Northern Arapahoes of the Wind River Reservation contradict many of the generalizations made about political change among native plains people. Loretta Fowler explores how, in response to the realities of domination by Americans, the Arapahoes have avoided serious factional divisions and have succeeded in legitimizing new authority through the creation and use of effective political symbols.

First published in three parts in 1902, 1904, and 1907, The Arapaho quickly established itself as a model of description of Indian culture. Its discussion of Arapaho dance and design provides one of the most thorough studies of Indian symbolism ever written. Alfred L. Kroeber was sent in 1899 to study the Southern Arapaho in western Indian Territory (present Oklahoma). In 1900 he lived in the camp of the Northern Arapaho in Wyoming, and in 1901 he visited the Gros Ventre, a related tribe, in Montana. He researched his subject at first hand, speaking with Arapaho men and women of all ages about their customs, beliefs, and ceremonies. The Arapaho touches upon nearly every imaginable facet of the Indians' culture. Careful attention is paid to ceremonies, games, religion and stories of the supernatural, tribal organization, kinship, decorative art and regalia, and the articles of everyday life: clothes, pottery, utensils, tens, and the all-important pipe.
