AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source is a descriptive and analytical study of culture change as it has occurred in Jicarilla Apache political and economic structures from 1888 to 1960. Wilson chose politics and economics as the structural elements for analysis because he believes that the allocation of power and goods represent cultural elements of great importance in determining the total configuration of a cultural system. The base line of 1888 was used for this study since it represents the first year of the reservation period in which a whole new set of contact influences became effective. As background to this work the author provides cultural data on Jicarilla history, geography, population, and social organization.
