Summary

Anthropologist Perry makes innovative use of ethnographic data to reconstruct Apachean history and culture, shedding light on the origins, dispersions, and relationships of the people who include the Navajo, as well as the Western, Chiricahua, Mescalero, Jicarilla, Lipan, and Kiowa Apaches. His method will be instructive to students of other cultures who face a similar lack of historical and archaeological data.
