John Adair, 1913-1997
John Adair was an anthropologist whose career covered several different aspects of the anthropological discipline: Native American art studies, visual anthropology, and applied anthropology. He was a photographer and a cinematographer, and his work almost always had an applied and an interdisciplinary element. Adair died in December 1997; it is too soon to write a critical evaluation of his work. This essay is a memorial, briefly describing his m…

Navajo and Photography
HISTORICALLY, PHOTOGRAPHS have said less about the Navajo than about the photographers of Navajos. In Navajo and Photography James Faris calls attention to the inability of these photographs to communicate either the lived experiences of native people or their history. Beginning with the earliest photographs of Navajos in captivity at Bosque Redondo and including recent glossy picture books and calendars, Faris's survey points up assumptions that…
Laura Gilpin and the ‘Endearing’ Navajo
Laura Gilpin (1891–1979) grew up in the American West and was formally trained in the arts and photography.1 Her first contact with Navajo came when she accompanied a friend, Elizabeth Forster, to Navajoland in 1930.2 Forster was a field nurse who had accepted an appointment at Red Rock on the New Mexico portion of the Navajo reservation. As a consequence, she came to know local people in the region very well. People from this section of the rese…
Photographing the Navajo
This essay derives from the simple fact that the Navajo seldom have had much input into their imaging in photography. But this fact has many more implications than might initially appear-some implications common to all minority groups subject to a powerful and very aggressive majority with a discursively saturated Western technology at its disposal, and some implications peculiar to the Navajo and their experiences with the West. Photographers of…

The Navajo photography of Edward S. Curtis
The Navajo people of the American Southwest have been abundantly photographed since the beginnings of photography's extension into Western America — indeed, from almost since the beginnings of photography itself. Navajoland ‘offered’ dramatic landscapes and ‘The People’1 have served as exemplar for an assorted series of Western projects, changes in Western projects, and objects of Western desire. The photographs of Native Americans by Edward S. C…

The Anatomy of Envy
Envy is a pan-human phenomenon, universally feared, at least subconsciously, as a particularly dangerous emotion, since it implies hostility and aggression capable of destroying individuals and even societies. Especially in Western society, man has rather successfully repressed his true feelings about envy, which he is taught is the most shameful and reprehensible of all emotions. But even while denying it, man in all cultures has found devices, …

Sibling Terminology and Cross-Sex Behavior
Contrary to certain of the assumptions of Nerlove and Romney (1967) on sibling terminology and cross-sex behavior, the sibling terminology of the Southeastern Nuba manifests a primary sex-of-speaker component and is shown to be conjunctive. Other data appear to weigh against their functional hypotheses for the cross-parallel distinction in sibling terminology but support a general conclusion that there may be different levels of explanation in ki…

Some Cultural Considerations of Duolineal Descent Organization
Manual for Kinship Analysis
Originally published in 1964 by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, this volume has been used by more than 50,000 students as an introduction to classifying and analyzing the kinship systems of the world. This second edition introduces in a simple, step-by-step style the methods of componential analysis as well as determining the structure of Iroquois, Crow-Omaha, and other kinship systems. A good supplemental text for Introductory Anthropology courses
The Vanishing Village
The Dynamics of Verbal Exchange
This paper describes the structure of verbal interaction in a small fishing settlement. Specifically, I want to document and explain the local rules which govern successful communication ? that is, the dynamics by which culturally-appropriate verbal interaction is insured and maintained. This results in a particular istic analysis, but the explanation I suggest has much more general application and I think rests on quite basic principles of human…
