The Light Gray People

 


About This Book:
Although Lipan Apache culture was studied by one of the most eminent anthropologists of the twentieth century, many important questions remain. What is the meaning of the tribal name Lipan? What were the names of historical chiefs and their bands? What practices characterized Lipan religion? The Light Gray People seeks to complete a comparative analysis of traditional Lipan Apache culture, as seen through the eyes of four eighteenth and nineteenth century observers, and modern anthropological studies.
