A Tri-Lingual Text By Martín Colllió Huaiquillaf, Donald Brand

New Mexico Anthropologist

To anyone who is somewhat acquainted with the southern Athapaskans of the southwestern United States, there are a number of marked historical similarities as well as some cultural resemblances between the southern Athapaskans and the Araucanian peoples. Both the Araucanians and the southern Athapaskans constitute discrete groups within which exist considerable differences of dialect (e. g., Picunche vs. Huilliche, western Navajo vs. Mescalero Apache), habitat (e. g., Navajo in highland steppe and forest vs. San Carlos Apache in lowland desert, Mapuche in humid forest vs. eastern Pehuenche in steppe and desert), native economy (e. g., sedentary agricultural Moluche vs. nomadic …

Dowsing Research

This letter from Wolfram Sievers to Reinhard Heydrich summarized the assessment of confiscated documents related to dowsing, pendula, and astrology by Josef Wimmer of the Department for Applied Geology. Sievers notes the principles used for assessment: first, that recent research has led to great progress on the dowsing question and physical causes related to the sidereal pendulum may also soon be understandable; second, the dowsing literature does contain false reports and mistakes, but also much that has been scientifically proven - the task at hand, therefore, is to sift the literature and separate out that which is valuable and prevent …

Counting Systems Of North American Indians, Helen F. Stevenson

Anthropology ETDs

The following paper is a study of the numeral systems of North American Indian tribes. Not only the basic systems of counting are considered but, also, the recording devices, the words used for basic numbers with their concrete meanings, "magic" or "pattern" numbers and their relationship, if any, to the system of numeration. Not all of this material is recorded for every tribe; therefore only in so far as material is available is the study complete.

The object of the study is to examine the recorded data on numeration systems and to show the extent of correlation with linguistic and …

A Preliminary Sketch Of Keresan Grammar, Robert Francis Spencer

Anthropology ETDs

As nearly as can be ascertained, the Korosan dialects constitute an entirely separate linguistic stock among the languages of North America. Students of American Indian linguistics soom inclined to agree that only Korosan in New Mexico and Yukian in California stand apart from the nine or ten already formulated and more comprehensive North American linguistic phyla. These two islands of isolated speech have long been sources of philological problems, destroying an otherwise fairly complete theoretical pattern of American Indian languages.
