- Summary:
- This collection of 13 documents about the Yurok covers a variety of ethnographic topics. The major source of information on the Yurok is found in Heizer and Mills which is an account of a coastal village through time (ca. 1775-1952), supplemented by additional information from Kroeber and Pilling. Two of the studies in this collection deal with the Yurok's own view of their culture. Additional topics include child training and world view; marriage as examined through genealogical records; geography; law; the tradition of music and songs among the Yurok; women's attitude toward menstruation and associated rituals; and physical anthropology. The Yurok live on the northwest coast of California and on the lower Klamath River.
