Primitive Man And His Ways: Patterns of Life in… de Kaj Birket-Smith

While this book is horribly outdated now (it lists the thylacine as still being alive) it is a terribly interesting one. In particular, I enjoyed the chapter about the Cargo Cult and some of the religious rites of the Plains Indians.

Few books are available that really dignify "natives" with the truth of their surprisingly diverse, courageous, and rich lives. This is one. KBS is the Keeper of Ethnographical Dept of National Museum, Copenhagen, and the author of numerous anthropological works. He notes how life is organized by tribe, totem and taboo (title of another work of his), among people who adapted themselves to the rigors of their wilderness environment.

1. Australian Aborigines.
2. Plains Indians.
