Description

Originally published in 1941, An Apache Life-Way remains some of the vital and innovative studies of southwestern Native Americans, drawing upon a wealthy and invaluable body of knowledge gathered by the ethnographer Morris Edward Opler all the way through the 1930s. Blending the analysis of individual Apache lives with the analysis in their culture, this landmark take a look at tells of the ceremonies, non secular beliefs, social life, and economy of the Chiricahua Apache. Opler traces, in fascinating detail, how an individual “becomes an Apache,” beginning with conception, moving through puberty rites, marriage, and the more than a few non secular, domestic, and military duties and experiences of adulthood, and concluding with the rites and beliefs surrounding death.
