Produktbeschreibung
Step into the world of 19th-century anthropology, where the frontiers of knowledge and the lives of North America's indigenous cultures intertwine. John Wesley Powell's Contributions to North American Ethnology (Volume II, Part I) stands as a landmark in ethnological research, capturing the complexity and dignity of native societies at a time of rapid change. Every page offers a window into the traditions, languages, and social structures of North American tribes, meticulously documented during the late 1800s exploration era. This authoritative volume, a cornerstone of the Smithsonian ethnology series, blends historical ethnography with the emerging science of cultural anthropology. Powell's comparative ethnology approach illuminates the diversity and resilience of indigenous communities, making this work essential for anthropology students, academic readers, and anyone drawn to native American studies. Its insights remain vital, bridging past and present in the ongoing conversation about cultural identity and heritage. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Both a scholarly resource and a cultural treasure, it invites discovery for those who value the enduring significance of classic literature and the profound stories of North America's first peoples.
