Tipai Ethnographic Notes: A Baja California Indian Community at Mid Century
Raves for Tipai Ethnographic Notes
"Tipai Ethnographic Notes is a salvaged treasure--a rich trove of ethnographic details native toponyms, kin terms, ancient enmities, and traditional material culture as experienced and remembered by the Tipai. This work is of interest on two as a compendium of ethnographic data on the Tipai and as a primary historical source regarding the creation of knowledge in American cultural anthropology. --Jerry Moore, Professor of Anthropology, California State University, Dominguez Hills
Blackburn [the editor] has brought new life to an important work that lay dormant for nearly half a century. The accompanying map allows the reader to travel down trails and to places that have been covered by the dust of many decades, and yet the book is as alive and vital as if the research were completed yesterday. --Richard L. Carrico, Professor of American Indian Studies, San Diego State University.
The definitive first-hand ethnographic description of Tipai/Diegueño communities of northern Baja California during the late 1940s, with information on tribes and clans, settlements, subsistence, material culture, social life, government, religious beliefs/practices, and healing. This work is of interest as a compendium of ethnographic data and as a primary historical source regarding the creation of knowledge in American cultural anthropology. Includes a separate b&w map. Professor William D Hohenthal taught anthropology at San Francisco State University. The books final form includes the contributions of Hohenthal and editor Dr. Thomas C. Blackburn, along with Margaret Langddon, David B. Kronenfeld, and Lynn Thomas (Author)
