The Yuchis, who were Native American people living in the southeastern United States, were made to move to the Indian Territory in the 1830s. More than seventy years later, major part of their traditional way of life still survived into the early 1900s and was observed and recorded by anthropologist Frank G. Speck during the years 1904 to 1908. Speck documented numerous facets of Yuchi culture, including language, decorative arts, domestic architecture, clothing, religious beliefs and rituals, healing practices, mythology, music, social and political organizations, warfare, games, and life transition rituals and customs from birth to burial. This book remains as a seminal introduction to the history and the culture of this Native American peoples and is a welcome and renewed addition to the library of Native American Studies.
