"This volume grew out of a symposium held at the sixty-ninth Annual Meeting of the American Anthropological Association in November 1969 at New Orleans, Louisiana. The 'Apachean Symposium,' as it came to be called, was designed to provide an opportunity for scholars engaged in research on southern Athapaskan cultures, past and present, to report upon their findings and, wherever possible, to link them to known fact and existing theory"--Preface.
