"An important contribution to knowledge about the region and the ethnoscience of a people too long overlooked."- Masterkey "A book of great value. The work reflects a moment frozen in cultural history, depicting these Native Americans as Whiting saw them."- Choice "The Havasupai, an impoverished group of Native Americans confined until recently to a small but beautiful canyon trubutary to the Colorado River, were the subject of A.F Whiting's study in 1941. . . . This book is a welcome addition to Indian Ethnography."- Journal of the West "The adolescent or adult interested in a lifestyle and culture now largely disappeared will find this enjoyable and informative reading."- School Science & Mathematics "A valuable contribution to the preservation of the diverse cultural traditions of the desert peoples of the Southwest."- New Mexico Historical Review
