The Bibliography of the Indians of San Diego County is intended to
provide information on the American Indian groups indigenous to the area
that is now San Diego County. All aspects of history and culture of the
Kumeyaay, Diegueno, Ipai, Tipai, Luiseno and Cupeno Indians are covered,
including language and linguistics, arts, agriculture, hunting,
religion, mythology, music, political and social structures, dwellings,
clothing, and medicinal practices. Materials included in this work are
books (or chapters from books), theses and dissertations, journal
articles, conference papers, Smithsonian Institution reports, museum
publications, and select university press, newspaper and government
publications. A section on archival materials is included to guide
researchers to major collections covering these tribal groups. Sources
of manuscripts and unpublished materials available in special
collections of libraries and archives are also included, as well as some
materials on the languages and linguistics of the San Diego tribes. Key
research articles are reprinted, as well as maps and illustrations. This
unique guide fills the void in the research literature for the tribes
covered.
