Abstract
The original of this work was a doctoral dissertation at Radcliffe College in 1944. It was revised for publication at the suggestion of Max Gluckman, a British social anthropologist. It is a study of the assimilation of the Makah into modern American society with an analysis of the traditional culture kept by the Makah and the changes which occurred in it during the reservation period. The author examines the land of the Makah, the tribe, the relations of the Makah with the Whites, the world-view of the Makah, their traditions and their relationship to the supernatural. Colson was Professor of Anthropology at Brandeis University.
