The Yú-ki
Tribes of California, by Stephen Powers ; with an introduction and notes by Robert F. Heizer • 3 • Published In 1976 • Pages: 125-138, 443
By: Powers, Stephen.
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Although there may be some useful information in this text most of it is extremely ethnocentric and distasteful. Powers writes in a supercilious, condescending tone, disparaging the Yuki character without once questioning the character of white settlers and ranchers who were systematically raiding and killing Yuki in a seven-year campaign of genocide (see Miller 1975, document no. 13.)
