The range of variation and rate of transformation within tribal societies require inductive methods of description, but these same features impose difficulties in isolating the subject for measurement. The method described here employs aerial photography and computer technology, together with conventional genealogical inquiry, to enclose a rapidly changing tribe, the Papago Indians, within a kinship network, seven generations in depth. Demographic and sociological data on individuals and on the ecology of communities were also obtained. This method has potential both for longitudinal and retrospective studies of change and for the cross-sectional analysis of group-wide internal variability at a given point in time
