AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Based primarily on a 1977 survey of 146 households in the Navajo-Hopi Joint Use Area (FJUA) of northeastern Arizona, this paper examines the interrelationships between religious affiliation, demography, and socioeconomic data. Explanations are advanced for the direction of religious change and patterns of religious affiliations. The author concludes that multiple affiliations are practical attempts to deal with socioeconomic and cultural change.
