Topics covered in greatest detail are masked dances, with particular reference to the costumes, and mythology, with translations of a number of fairly long legends. Weapons and feather ornaments are described in detail. Among the subjects given less coverage the most notable are: a short history of European contact; descriptions of the major subgroups; settlement patterns and village types; population; and subsistence patterns, including foods and food preparation. It is revealed that although hunting is relatively unimportant economically, animals and their symbolization play a significant role in Karaj{\'a} social life and ideational systems.}, note = {P.
