AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article was intended to supplement the article by Graebner in the same publication (see 1: Graebner). It is based on six weeks' fieldwork by Speiser at Graciosa Bay in Nitendi, with the addition of new material compiled by Foy from the literature and museums. This material is considered in relation to the first article and inaccuracies in Graeber's study are pointed out. The author's main interest is in establishing the cultural relations of the Santa Cruz Islands. Thus, new types and variations on the material culture are presented. Some new material on social organization and economy are included.
