The brief Russian presence in California yielded some of the
earliest ethnography of Native Californians and some of the best
collections of their material culture. Unstudied by western
scholars because of their being housed in Russian museums, they are
presented here for the first time in an English language volume.
Descriptions of early nineteenth-century travelers such as von
Wrangel and Voznesenskii are followed by a catalog of objects
ranging from hunting weapons to household objects to ritual dress
to musical instruments, games, and gift objects. This catalog of
objects includes over 150 images, many in full color. An essential
volume for those interested in the ethnology, archaeology, art, and
cultures of Native Californians.
