Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a restudy of the same people studied in 1: Gillin.
It is based largely on secondary data, e.g., general archival data and government census
reports, supplemented by field work. The purpose is to study the history of forty years of
cultural change, '…from the perspective of the regional influences upon a local
population.' (p. 144) Particular emphasis is given to changes in demography and settlement
patterns. One chapter is devoted to changes in social organization. Footnotes are located
at the end of each chapter.
