Publisher's Synopsis
""An Apache Life-Way"" is a comprehensive study of the economic, social, and religious institutions of the Chiricahua Indians, one of the Apache tribes of the American Southwest. Written by Morris Edward Opler, a prominent anthropologist who spent several years living among the Chiricahua, the book offers a detailed and nuanced portrait of their way of life, including their subsistence strategies, social organization, religious beliefs and practices, and interactions with other tribes and with white settlers. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and archival research, Opler provides a richly textured account of a culture that has undergone significant changes over the past century, but which continues to maintain its distinctive traditions and values. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American history and culture, as well as for scholars of anthropology and sociology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
