AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This paper was originally presented orally at a conference in 1939 by the author, an ethnological student of the Apache. After his death, the Navajo specialists, Clyde Kluckhohn and Leland C. Wyman, revised it for publication. The aim of the paper is to show the similarities between some Navajo and Apache ceremonial forms. Declaring that many of the usual conceptions of differences between the two are due to the complicated terminology ethnologists have developed in discussing Navajo ceremonies, Goodwin reduces the categories of ritual to basic groupings, and then lists many points at which the Navajo and Apache merge.
