Notes: Six papers from a seminar held in 1956 at the University of New Mexico. “To be sure there is variation in the ways the clothes are worn or the houses built or the dances performed. The whole inventory of culture traits, for example on the Fox Reservation in Iowa is different from that among the Hopis in Arizona, but nevertheless one feels that somehow one is moving among the same people in the two places; attitudes and views of life seem essentially the same, and perhaps most definitely, the way of dealing with non-Indians has the same quality. In other words, ‘culture contact’ feels very much the same in these two widely separated places where the people have had such different historical experiences.” (From the Introduction)
