AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article examines the Apache value termed 'the inviolability of the individual' through the study of case materials from the author's and others' fieldwork in an attempt to show '…how this value interacts with other values and role expectations in White Mountain Apache culture to affect behavior and interaction within the context of the family' (p. 492). A second value surveyed in this paper, which complements the value of the inviolability of the individual, is the desire to avoid conflict, harsh talk, direct confrontation, and the like. Both values noted here are illustrated in detail in the text, often with commentary on the author's participation in the described event.
