Abstract
This source presents to the reader a picture of the Havasupai Indians as they existed shortly after the first European-Indian contacts. The author describes his first contact with the Indians, their culture history, and the various aspects of Havasupai ethnography that he observed during the brief time that he lived in the village. Most of the information presented in the article deals with the material culture of the Havasupai, the ecological basis of their existence, the physical appearance of the people, (including clothing and ornaments), and certain aspects of social organization (pertaining to chiefs, and medicine men). The author, an anthropologist, was until his death, a member of the Smithsonian Institution.
