Papago Woman: An Intimate Portrait of American Indian Culture
A Groundbreaking Blend of Ethnographic Fieldwork and American Indian Oral History by a Pioneering Female Anthropologist
Ruth M. Underhill (1883-1984), a widely acknowledged expert on Native American life, published The Autobiography of a Papago Woman in 1936, which was the first-known oral history of an American Indian woman. The story of Maria Chona, a Papago (Tohono O'odham) woman, is a sequence of intimate episodes and crises from her traditional and nontraditional life, including childbearing, marriages, family and reservation life, song making, and knowledge of practical medicine.
Underhill, a pioneering female anthropologist, conducted ethnographic fieldwork and incorporated American Indian oral history in this groundbreaking publication. The strong Papago fear of women's impurity restricted Chona, and all females, from having an active role in ceremonial life, yet her independent spirit and dynamic personality led her to challenge tribal taboos. The rare autobiography of Chona, which forms the core of this historically significant case study, appears in Part II of Papago Woman.
In Part I, Underhill adds interpretive analysis, historical background, and absorbing ethnological descriptions, while in Part III, she provides commentary on Papago views on child training, women, love, and the continuing effects of Roosevelt's New Deal. The inclusion of useful student study questions (by Catherine Lavender) further enhances the academic value of this work.
Papago Woman stands as a testament to Underhill's dedication and expertise, offering a unique and insightful perspective into the life of a Papago woman. This publication marks a significant contribution to the understanding of Native American cultures and the role of women in traditional societies.
The work is part of a wider collection of modern and classic ethnographies published by Waveland, which cover a diverse range of American Indian cultures, including Apache, Navajo, Pueblo, Papago, Shoshone, Comanche, Crow, and others. This comprehensive collection provides a valuable resource for students, scholars, and those interested in the rich tapestry of Native American heritage.
