Abstract
This volume is a study of Delaware acculturation over the past three centuries. The author tests the hypothesis that when an ethnic group comes into contact with or is invaded by a superior or more complex culture its technology is the first part of its culture to change. Social concepts and behavior are more resistant to change. Religion is the most resistant to change. His extensive use of documentary materials is supplemented by his field data gathered among the survivors of the Delaware in Oklahoma.
