- Note
- "Karsten spent three full years among the Jivaro [four years of travel, 1916-1919 and 1928-1929] and almost a complete summary of all he has published on the Jivaro to date is contained in this monograph. He learned the native language passingly well according to his own statement and became quite intimate with many of the Indians. He is very careful about including many details which other ethnographers have sometimes missed."--http://ehrafworldcultures.yale.edu (views June 21, 2017).
