Abstract The Tarahumara are Native Americans who live in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico and who speak a Uto-Aztecan language. This file consists of eleven documents nearly all written by professional anthropologists, whose collective fieldwork experience among the Tarahumara ranges in time from 1891 to 1989. Probably one of the most comprehensive studies in the file on traditional Tarahumara ethnography is that done by Bennett and Zingg. Although the fieldwork for this study was done in the 1930s, this work, nevertheless, provides an excellent introduction to the study of traditional Tarahumara society. It should be noted, however that this monograph has been criticized by a later ethnologist for factual errors in the data. Some of the major topics discussed by additional works include culture history, material culture, socio-cultural change, social organization, ideal and practical norms of behavior, and the ecological relationship between the Tarahumara and their environment. Other documents provide additional data on sorcery, residential mobility, kinship, ceremonial behavior, curing, religion, social conformity, and lying in relation to informant/author relationships.
