AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document supplements the writings of such well-known ethnographers as Powers, Barrett, Loeb, Gifford and Kroeber on the Pomo. The primary purpose of this paper, as indicated by the author, was to first determine more exactly the range of probable subdivision indicated by A. L. Kroeber in his map of the Pomo, as it appeared in the Handbook of the Indians of California, and secondly to give information concerning food-getting habits of the Pomo, their types of shelter, and various aspects of ethnography. The author subdivides the Pomo into constituent tribal subdivisions, and treats each in terms of identification and location, regional topography, economy, travel, trade, manufacture of goods, lumbering, houses, and community structure.
