Dr. Underhill has afforded her readers gimpses of what was, whit is, and even of what is to be. - Alice Marriott, Western Folklore All in all, this is a splendid piece of integration's. Dr. Underhill juxtaposes material from archaeology with quotations from published or unpublished myths in such a way that both sets of data are illuminated. - Clyde Kluckhoh, Pacific Historical Review No one will challenge her authority in descriptions of the cultural values and contributions of these Indians, and of their struggle today to maintain their economy in the face of encroachments of modernity.
