Description

Monograph on Papago ceremonial songs calling upon the powers of Nature so as to constrain them to man's will. First published 1931; assembled from 14 months of fieldwork by anthropologist Ruth Murray Underhill (1883 - 1984), and illustrated by three young Indian boys. The songs, magical in intent, state desired events in every department of life with the mood varying accordingly; some solemn, others wistful, humorous and even wild.
