Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the cultural practices and belief systems of indigenous tribes native to Northern America. The author, an anthropologist, spent decades living among the Carrier tribe and was also in contact with speakers of neighboring languages. During this time, the author compared Carrier practices to writings made by anthropologists about peoples in other regions, such as the Ainu in Japan and the Patagonian of South America. In this book, the author argues that the Carrier are wrongly categorized as the lowest in the scale of humanity. By examining religious beliefs, societal structures, and economic practices, the author reveals that the Carrier are a complex and fascinating people who have developed unique and sophisticated cultural practices in their environment, many of which the author suggests are underrepresented in the record.
