They include studies of kinship and social organization, politics, religion, law, ethnicity, and art. Many reflect Eggan's method of controlled comparison, a tool for reconstructing social and cultural change over time.

The collection will serve as an introduction to Native American social and cultural anthropology for readers interested in the dynamics of Indian social life.
