ETHNOGRAPHY OF A TRADITIONAL INDIAN

CULTURE, edited by S. A. Weber and P. D. Seaman

The Havasupai Indians have lived for centuries in

anthropologist Alfred F. Whiting set out to study the

Havasupai in the early 1940's, he found a culture that in

many aspects had remained unchanged since before the

coming of the White Man. Havasupai life has changed

in the years since Whiting studied it: modern

conveniences abound, tourism prospers, and the

reservation extends up onto the plateau. In light of this,

Whiting’s work stands as a unique perspective on life

ways now lost to time.
