| Summary: | In Attempting to analyze the various elements which belong to Tena culture we have purposely allowed ourselves to digress in order to discuss the possible origin and development of a number of traits that were only poorly represented in Tena culture, or even of those which we found no further up the Yukon than Fox Creek. But now we must return and try to place together the Tena elements in some sort of order. I must confess that my discussion has been perhaps too much from the point of view of Eskimo culture and not enough from the point of view of northern Athabaskan culture. This is in part the result of a personal bias, and in part because the literature is far fuller on Eskimo than on Athabaskan material culture and technology. On the other hand, it will by this time be quite evident that the Tena have been very strongly influenced by their Eskimo neighbors. |
