He aims to contribute to Yuchi ethnography and to explicate the ways in which they are constantly adapting to change from their removal to Indian Territory with the Muscogee Nation to the present. Adding difficulty to the task is the fact that their language is unrelated to any other. The first of 11 chapters gives an overview of Yuchi history, culture, and society. Three chapters treat verbal art-storytelling, ceremonial oratory, ritual speech, gender, and reciprocity. Folk medicinal plants are covered, as well as dress as material culture. Vernacular architecture and customary foodways are described, and cultural life is seen through the prism of cultural performances. Finally, the "extra-generic" is presented. Th is written for anthropologists, folklorists, instructors and students of Native American studies, and the educated curious reader. There are ample illustrations, notes on usage, references, notes, and a list of illustrations. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
