AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This work is a counterargument to a 1963 article that described the demographic minority Halchidhoma, a Yuman-speaking people of the lower Colorado River, as a “dead” society because of their reported assimilation by larger Maricopa neighbors. Based on 1973 fieldwork, the author argues that the Halchidhoma are alive and well, living as a distinguishable element of the Maricopa on the Salt River Reservation in southern Arizona.
