- Notes
- by George M. Foster assisted by Gabriel Ospina
- "Prepared in cooperation with the United States Department of State as a project of the Interdepartmental Committee on Scientific and Cultural Cooperation."
- The analyst only indexed material that was explicitly about the Tarascan people and culture. Otherwise, the material is "zeroed out" as the indexer could not assume any general discussion included indigenous community even though much culture is shared between mestizos and "naturalitos." The reader can use page view to find some context.
- Includes bibliographical references (p. 293-294)
