The Jicaque (Torrupan) Indians of Honduras (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from The Jicaque (Torrupan) Indians of Honduras As a result of this confusion specific literature con cerning the original inhabitants of the north coast of Honduras from Guatemala to the Rio Plantain is practically non-existant. This lack creates an im mense hiatus in the ethnology of Central American tribes, and makes it extremely difficult to establish many details concerning the ancient culture of the Jicaque proper, who call themselves Torrupan. The expedition to Honduras in 1937 - 1938 under the auspices of the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, contemplated an ethnological and zoological survey of that country, among the Sumu, Paya, Miskito, and Torrupan groups. The present monograph is a report of four months' investigation among the Hispanicized Jicaques of Yoro, and two among the primitive Jicaques in the Montana de la Flor. In addition to the ethnological collections made and to the series of live - masks procured, all of which are deposited in the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, an exhaustive ethmo botanical collection made by Christine Inez von Hagen forms a comprehensive basis for the study of the material culture of the Jicaque (torrupan).
