5.0 out of 5 stars
An objective and accurate ethnology,
This review is from: An Apache Life-Way: The Economic, Social, and Religious Institutions of the Chiricahua Indians (Paperback)
Opler's book is the result of lengthy interviews with informants during the early part of the Twentieth century .He has quoted many of these Apaches verbatum without editorializing thereby providing an authentic picture of the tribal lifeway during the 19th century. The reader learns not only the ethnological facts but senses the feelings, values and emotions of these people. "An Apache Lifeway" remains the most definitive source of material cited in later publications on the subject. The book is easily readable because anthropological jargon is avoided.

This review is from: An Apache Life-Way: The Economic, Social, and Religious Institutions of the Chiricahua Indians (Paperback)
This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Apache culture. It may not have the flow of novel but that is not the intention. This book is a glimpse into the lives of the fiercest and most honorable Native Americans that ever lived...the Apache.
