Mistassini Hunting Groups And Hunting Territories, Edward S. Rogers
Mistassini Hunting Groups And Hunting Territories, Edward S. Rogers
Anthropology ETDs
The present study is directed toward an analysis of hunting groups and hunting territories among the Mistassini Indians of south-central Quebec. It has three objectives. First, an attempt is made to isolate the factors responsible for limited variability in the size of hunting groups at the present time. The hypotheses developed through this analysis of Mistassini data were re-examined with reference to historical and ethnological materials pertaining to the Montagnais in general. Second, the development of hunting territories is traced from the time of contact, and the factors responsible for their formation determined. Finally, previous theories of the origin of …

Linguistically, however, Keresan continues to be little known, both as to its structure and its relationship to other languages.

It is a common observation that vegetation on sites of early human habitation is distinctive from that occurring normally in the vicinity. However, little has been done to determine whether these differences exist in patterns of distribution dependent upon human habitation. The identification of the species involved also presents the problem of determination of the reasons for these differences.

Walapai Culture-History, Robert Clark Euler

The Walapai Indians, an upland Arizona Yuman--speaking tribe, in historic times lived in northwestern Arizona. Their territory extended from the Colorado River on the North and West, to the Bill Williams Fork-Santa Maria River on the south, and the Cataract Creek drainage on the east. This same region, prehistorically, was occupied by the Cerbat Branch, a group included by archaeologists within the Patayan Root. Archaeologists, solely from surface surveys, have suggested a history of the Cerbat from about 700 to 1150 A.D. After that date no cultural data for the area were known until 1776, when the Franciscan Father Garces …
