The book serves as both an ethnographic study and a literary work, providing invaluable insights into the traditions, beliefs, and values of a community that has faced the relentless pressures of modernization while striving to preserve its identity. George Bird Grinnell, a notable American anthropologist, historian, and conservationist, dedicated much of his life to the study of Native American cultures and the natural world.
