AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is an ethnographic account of the modern day Apache of Cibecue on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. The first part of the book is devoted to summaries of the pre- and post-reservation social organization, including discussions of social units, kinship termnology and behavior, and marriage patterns. The rest of the book is devoted to an exposition of Apache religious beliefs and practices. Ideas about power and its acquisition, curing ceremonies, girls' puberty ceremonies, witchcraft and Christian missionaries are topics covered in the latter part of the book. It should be noted that the author did some 25 months worth of field work over the years 1960-1969 and could speak the native language.
