Abstract
Cooper, a professional ethnologist and cleric, drew together the available literature to produce this synthetic work on the culture of the Tehuelche. The source deals with linguistics, history, religion, social organization, economic life, and the life cycle. A short section covers the related Poya. Information also occurs on Patagonia (SH1), the Puelche (SI10), the Araucanians (SG4), the Ona (SH4), the Yahgan (SH6), and the Alacaluf (SH2). The bibliography is in Vol. 2 of the Handbook of South American Indians.
