Spanish Colonial Tucson
[Dobyns] has written a fascinating account of the ethnic development of early Tucson. Using a variety of methods and sources, he reveals how Spaniards, mestizos from New Spain, and Native Americans from many tribes laid the ethnic foundations for the modern city. The book also provides much insight into the general history of Spanish colonial society as it evolved in the Tucson area to 1821. . . . Dobyns, utilizing previously unpublished primary …

An Interview with Alberto Celaya, 1952
An Interview with Alberto Celaya, 1952 Paul H. Ezell and Henry F. Dobyns Introduction by Bill Broyles What was it like to talk frontier history with a legend who lived it? Here is one such session, with Alberto Celaya being questioned by Paul H. Ezell and Henry F. Dobyns, who recalls that they stood in the open with the bulky wire recorder sitting on the hood of an automobile, in Sonoyta, Sonora, January 30, 1952. The hopscotch nature of the ques…
Puebloan Historic Demographic Trends
Scientists have conducted numerous studies of the Puebloan peoples residing in southwestern North America. Nonetheless, as two leading and energetic specialists admitted, "We have, we know, barely scratched the surface of the amount of work that must be done" (Cordell and Plog 1979: 424). Some of the most necessary analysis yet to be done bears upon the biological,social structural, and cultural changes that occurred among the rapidly diminishing…

Pai Cultural Change (Response to Braatz)
Bands of Gardeners
In a recent AIQ article Timothy Braatz concluded that identifying Pai subtribes as significant and enduring sociopolitical groups, Dobyns and Euler over-formalized aboriginal Pai organization (our emphasis).' Braatz's article criticized statements in an ethnohistorical monograph we published in 1970.2 Braatz reached his conclusion using such tortured logic and disregarding so many data that we here offer a corrective comment. We discuss these top…
Apache Rights to Gila River Irrigation Water
The State of Arizona is currently adjudicating all water rights in the state, including those of Indian reservations. The state court must take into account a federal district court decree issued in 1935 allocating rights to Gila River water to many landowners. Arizona and the decree both recognize water rights according to the doctrine of prior appropriation. The earliest priority date in the upstream Duncan-Virden Valley is 1874, in Safford Val…
The Nine Lives of Cherum, the Pai Tokumhet
and is. The majority of ethnological reports on North American Indian cultures that were written by American-trained ethnologists during the period 1910-40 were couched in the 'ethnographic present' and purported to describe the 'aboriginal' cultures of various Indian groups.2 That is, anthropologists having a normative perception of culture pattern essentially ignored historical changes in Native American cultures and behaviors.' This ahistorica…

Direct European Immigrant Transmission of Old World Pathogens to Numic Indians during the Nineteenth Century
As the leader ofthe Church ofJesus Christ of Latter Day Saints during that denomination's initial colonization of the Great Basin, Brigham Young had a unique opportunity to observe Mormon effects on the region's Native Americans.

The social matrix of Peruvian indigenous communities
From Fire to Flood
This book has been written intentionally to attempt to correct the disnoetic behavior of scientists who previously analyzed historic erosion and related changes in the Sonoran Desert environment. For scientists, no less than historians, have been quite unduly disnoetic; that is, all too many have proved to be incapable of knowing what they see (Morgan 1966:31). The chapters which follow this introduction deal with such variables as those already …
An Appraisal of Techniques with a New Hemispheric Estimate
Social scientists often consider population size as an independent variable major importance. The author analyzes, therefore, methodological reasons why most prior estimates of aboriginal America population imply small scale preconquest societies and concludes that the population was far large than has been thought. The range of previous estimation is so great as to indicate that some methods or data must have been faulty. Skeptical anthropologis…

A Demographer's View of Prehistoric Demography [and Comments and Replies]
The direct data on the population of prehistoric man are typically too sparse to be used alone. However, such supports as the population-resources model can easily become distortive prisons rather than aids to analysis, and the most important general point from ethnographic analogy-that contemporary primitives differ widely in their demographic characteristics but in all cases these are affected by a belief in the supernatural-is seldom reflected…

Demographic Collapse
The Process of Accelerating Community Change
The Peruvian Indian community of Vicos had existed in a state of relative cultural stability for a very long time prior to the intervention of the Cornell Peru Project. So long had this stability endured that the Vicosinos and other Indians of the neighborhood had developed subculture spatially and socially isolated from modern Western civilization

Value Themes of the Native American Tribalistic Movement Among the South Dakota Sioux
In 1967 and the years following, many Sioux were beginning to question that assimilation into various social strata of Anglo American society was inevitable, and there was a tendency toward identification with the Sioux "tribal heritage." This tribalistic movement, the local expression of a general movement among Native Americans in Canada and the United States, appears to be having a profound effect on the values of the Sioux. It represents a cu…

The Indian Reorganization Act and Federal Withdrawal
American anthropologists have been mainly concerned with studying Indians, since America has supplied abundant Indians but no other primitives for them to study. In the United States, a minute Indian minority is cooped up on reservations where it can be studied easily – an ethnic laboratory of nearly 300 tribes. Reams of literature have been written about aboriginal patterns, yet when the Indian Bureau announces that its long-term policy is one o…
Papago Pilgrims On The Town
Blunders With Bolsas
Phil Head was a guy with character, sure. But you wouldn't expect him to be at the bottom of all this fuss. After all, he was just a well-driller working for the CCC out on the Papago Indian Reservation back in the thirties. To understand how this all started, you've got to understand how things were on the Reservation then
Thirsty Indians
Human beings must drink to live—a fact quite obvious to anyone spading his garden on a warm spring day. Yet many of us live through choice, or lack of it, where drinking water is scarce. This tale is about some of us living in the Papaguería, an arid region in North America. The land takes its name from its inhabitants, Papago Indians. To themselves, they are Tohono Au'autam, Desert People. The area isn't true desert, being cursed with a fine xer…

Topography and Culture
This paper deals with a problem long debated by anthropologists—the relationship between environment and culture. We analyze effects of topography on cultural change in situations of contact between two social systems, one more powerful than the other and inclined to enforce its behaviors on the weaker. We do this by examining cultural changes in one work-unit within a large insurance company in the United States

Ethnic Group Land Rights in the Modern State
All over the world, conflicts of interest arise in modern states between government agencies charged with constructing large public works and citizens whose occupancy of the lands involved would be altered. Such conflicts are compounded when the land in dispute is held by a special ethnic enclave enjoying unique legal status — Indians on reservations in the United States, ejidos in Mexico, or comunidades indígenas in Peró, aborgines in Australia,…

The Struggle for Land in Peru
Many neo-colonial institutions are today rapidly disseminating the behaviors, attitudes and norms of the Western market economy throughout the world, just as colonial and mercantile institutions spread them earlier. So tribal peoples are becoming peasants, and peasants proletarians. The focus of economic anthropological analysis properly falls, therefore, increasingly upon that process (Cook 1966:337). The present paper examines one instance of d…
