The Changing Culture of an Indian Tribe
xiv313 pages with tables and index. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6 1/2" issued in red cloth with black lettering to spine and embossed Columbia University seal on front cover. Foreword by Clark Wissler. 1st edition.<br /><br />This is an account of the disintegration and partial reintegration of an Indian tribe under the domination of the white man. Margaret Mead lived for several months on a reservation on the Western Plains gained the confidence of the Indians and presents her findings in this authentic first-hand record. Many years of patient research have been given to recording and understanding what aboriginal cultures were before and during the early period of contact of the Indian and the white man with scarcely a though as to what has happened since. Mead is the first student of culture history to bring up to date certain aspects of this account - notably the woman question. She has given the Indian woman particular attention because preliminary observation raises the untrue assumption that the present situation bears less heavily upon the Indian woman than upon the man and also because a study of the Indian woman is a contribution to the study of woman in general. <br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Front cover stained corners bumped.
