AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source compiled by Edward W. Gifford, a professional anthropologist from the University of California, is an ethnographic survey of the Eastern Pomo, specifically those living in the village of Cigom, located on the eastern shore of Clear Lake, Lake County, California. Much of the material obtained by the author for this report was supplied by the informant Jim Pumpkin, a resident of the Pomo village of Danobidau. Information concerning other Eastern Pomo groups, as well as Northern and Southeastern Pomo communities is also included in this survey. It should be noted that data presented in this paper dealing with the Hill Patwin of Long Valley, were obtained by Gifford from an Eastern Pomo informant. The major categories covered in this source are: a concise sketch of the village of Cigom -- location, inhabitants, interhouse relationships, composition of the Cigom family, etc; marriage; occupations; chieftainship; dance houses and sweat houses; ceremonies and dances and their participants; cremation ceremonies for the dead; money; games; personal names; relationship terms; and biographies of various Pomos.
