Annotation: Originally published in 1933 by the Milwaukee Public Museum, this is a classic study of the Miwok Indian culture based upon data obtained from Miwok informants shortly after 1900. Because these people came into contact with Euro- Americans at a relatively early time, their numbers were depleted and their culture impacted more significantly than other California Indians during the period. This book is as complete a coverage of the Miwoks as exists.
