Download or read book The Indianology of California written by Alexander Smith Taylor and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2015-03-07 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indianology of California is a compiled reprint from a series of 151 newsprint articles originally published by Alexander Taylor (1817-1876) in the California Farmer Journal of Useful Sciences between 1860 and 1863. Much of Taylor's writing was original work that he transcribed from his personal research, his large collection of Franciscan documents, and from interviews with Native Americans. In this book, Taylor conveys facts about California Native American ethnography as accurately as his experience permitted and many details of his research have never been reprinted. The Indianology of California reports on the history, languages and customs of many native people of California. Taylor also includes some vocabulary and linguistic material about various California tribes. This book reprints Taylor's extensive collection of diverse notes about Native Americans throughout the state, and includes his reprinting of Boscana's Chinigchinich and Reid's The Indians of Los Angeles County. This book is interesting to a casual reader and useful to professional anthropologist and archaeologist.

Book Synopsis Types of Indian Culture in California (Classic Reprint) by : A. L. Kroeber
Download or read book Types of Indian Culture in California (Classic Reprint) written by A. L. Kroeber and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Types of Indian Culture in California Throughout the greater part of the state the civilization of the Indians is very much alike. While the number of groups and of divisions corresponding to tribes, and the number of languages, is large, and no two groups show exactly identical customs and beliefs, the general type of culture is uniform. The exceptions are Southern California and the northwesternmost part of the state. But the territory covered by these divergent cultures is comparatively small, and more than two thirds of the state, including all the central part, show a fundamental ethnical similarity, whose distinguishing characteristics furthermore are not found outside of the state. It is therefore possible to speak of typical California Indians and to recognize a typical Californian culture area.

Book Synopsis Tribes of California by : Stephen Powers
Download or read book Tribes of California written by Stephen Powers and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic of American Indian ethnography, originally published in 1877, is again available in its complete form. In the summers of 1871 and 1872 Powers visited Indian groups in the northern two-thirds of California. A journalist by profession, he was untrained in ethnography, but was nonetheless an astonishingly intelligent observer who had a gift for writing in a spirited manner. He reported faithfully what he heard and portrayed accurately what he saw among the native survivors of Gold Rush days in a series of seventeen articles published mostly in The Overland Monthly. These were partly unwritten, added to, and reorganized by Powers to be published in 1877 as a report of the U.S. Geographical Survey of the Rocky Mountain Region. Powers’ book is still basic and is referred to by everyone who deals with native cultures. The 1877 edition was not large, and Tribes of California is at last reprinted in response to growing demand for this rare volume. For this edition all of the original illustrations have been retained and the basic text printed in facsimile. Professor Robert F. Heizer has provided annotations throughout and an introduction to indicate contemporary thought about the volume.

Book excerpt: Articles from ethnographers, a linguist, and Native Americans, all addressed to the topic of Native California shamanism in traditional times and in the present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfred Louis Kroeber (1876-1960) was one of the most influential figures in American anthropology in the first half of the twentieth century. He was born in Hoboken, New Jersey and attended Columbia College at the age of 16, earning an A. B. in English in 1896, and an M. A. in Romantic drama in 1897. He received his doctorate under Franz Boas at Columbia University in 1901, basing his dissertation on decorative symbolism on his field work among the Arapaho. It was the first doctorate in anthropology awarded by Columbia. He spent most of his career in California, primarily at the University of California, Berkeley where he worked as both a Professor of Anthropology and the Director of what was then The University of California Museum of Anthropology (now the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology). The anthropology department's headquarters building at the University of California is known as Kroeber Hall. He was associated with Berkeley until his retirement in 1946. His works include: Indian Myths of South Central California (1907), The Religion of the Indians of California (1907) and Handbook of the Indians of California (1925).
