Abstract
This article responds to the position put forth by Yehudi Cohen (1968:46) that 'the adoption of a new source of energy by a society is invariably followed by changes in the institutional configuration of its culture.' By tracing the historical changes in the Western Apache subsistence activities, Griffin, Leone, and Basso conclude that the changes in procurement systems have not produced significant changes in Western Apache culture, with the exception of a change in the division of labor by sex.
