Abstract
This is a general summary of Mescalero Apache ethnography from about 1650 to1981. Although major emphasis in the document is on culture history, other ethnographic topics include data on the economy, population, political and social organization, subsistence, division of labor, technology, religious beliefs and ceremonies, and death and the afterlife. The study concludes with a brief synonymy of names applied to the Mescalero, and a short bibliographical list of some of the major sources of information dealing with this group.
