Edward W. Gifford (1887-1959)

"California Indian Types"

Natural History, vol. 26, 1926, p. 50-60.

"With the exception of A.L. Kroeber, Gifford's contributions to California ethnography are quantitatively larger than those of any other worker. Two of his largest works remain the main sources of primary data on the physical characteristics and kinship terminologies of California Indians."
