Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This report presents not only a detailed analysis of the
various factors '…determining the structural interrelationships and the processual
interaction of a single American-operated trading post and its Navajo clientele' (p. 2),
but also provides a wealth of information on a wide range of Navajo-Euro-American
acculturation processes. This source is divided into three parts, the first of which
sketches the geography, history and the general ethnography of the Navajo. Part two deals
with the status of the trading post in the trade, services to the community and ancillary
functions. The third and final section discusses the variety of roles established by the
trading post in Indian-Euro-American cross-cultural contacts. The material for this study
was gathered by the author during 1954-1956 while he served as trader at the Shonto Trading
Post. This was further supplemented by data provided by informants and various other
records and documents.
