43. HAVASUPAI HABITAT: A.F. WHITING’S
ETHNOGRAPHY OF A TRADITIONAL INDIAN
CULTURE, edited by S. A. Weber and P. D. Seaman
The Havasupai Indians have lived for centuries in

anthropologist Alfred F. Whiting set out to study the
Havasupai in the early 1940's, he found a culture that in
many aspects had remained unchanged since before the
coming of the White Man. Havasupai life has changed
in the years since Whiting studied it: modern
conveniences abound, tourism prospers, and the
reservation extends up onto the plateau. In light of this,
Whiting’s work stands as a unique perspective on life
ways now lost to time.
