An Apache Life-Way: The Economic, Social And Religious Institutions Of The Chiricahua Indians is a comprehensive study of the Chiricahua Apache tribe's way of life. Written by Morris Edward Opler, a prominent anthropologist, this book explores the economic, social, and religious institutions of the Chiricahua Indians.The book begins by providing a historical background of the Chiricahua Apache tribe, including their migration patterns and interactions with other Native American groups. Opler then delves into the tribe's economic practices, including hunting and gathering, agriculture, and trade. He also explores the social organization of the tribe, including their kinship system, political structure, and gender roles.In addition to economic and social institutions, Opler examines the religious beliefs and practices of the Chiricahua Apache. He describes their spiritual worldview, including their beliefs about the afterlife, the supernatural, and the role of shamans in the community.Throughout the book, Opler draws on his extensive fieldwork with the Chiricahua Apache, providing detailed accounts of their daily lives, customs, and traditions. He also analyzes the impact of European colonization on the tribe, including the forced relocation to reservations and the loss of traditional practices.Overall, An Apache Life-Way is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American history and culture, providing a detailed and nuanced portrait of the Chiricahua Apache tribe and their way of life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
