Twenty-Ninth Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology 1907-1908. This volume (apart from the administrative report) is completely devoted to the anthropological study of Harrington on the Tewa Pueblo Indians. John Peabody Harrington (1884 � 1961) was a student of Alfred Kroeber at Berkeley. He was mainly interested in native American languages, especially those of California. From 1915 to 1955 he was a permanent field ethnologist for the Smithsonian Bureau of Ethnology and collected a massive amount of raw data on many aspects of the life and organization of Native American peoples; unfortunately most of the material still being highly disorganized. The Tewa are a linguistic group of Pueblo people who speak the Tewa language (of Tanoan stock). Their homelands are near the Upper Rio Grande Valley, New Mexico. The information of this study was gathered in 1910. The work is divided in sections on cosmography (world, sky, underworld, earth, water), meteorology (clouds, rain,sniow, wind, lightning &c), periods of time (year, seasons, months, festivals &c), geographical terms (place-names, trails, unmapped places, mythic places), names of tribes and peoples and names of minerals. Richly illustrated with a double-page diagram, 31 maps (all of them double-page) and 21 plates with 1 or more b/w photographs. With an extensive index, a list of place-names (31 pages) and a bibliography. Very good copy.
