Preliminary report on the ethnography of the Southwest
Beals RL. 1935. Preliminary report on the ethnography of the Southwest. Field Division of Education. Berkeley, CA
The following paper is a partial and incomplete report on the modern tribes of the Southwest, specifically the Pueblo Indians. This paper is one of several prepared for the Field Division of Education of the National park Service by a group of research workers employed during the CWA period of 1933-34. Its purpose was to provide an outline of the ethnology of the Southwest which would serve as a background study for use in the planning of museum exhibits in the National Parks and Monuments of the Southwest, and also to act as a preliminary paper for the preparation of a general guide to the region. The following paper is a partial and incomplete report on the modern tribes of the Southwest. More properly speaking, it perhaps should be called a report on the Pueblo Indians of the Southwest, as time has not permitted any investigation of the non-Pueblo tribes.
