Catawba Indians: morphology, genetics, and history.

AbstractThe Catawba Indians of South Carolina appear to be descendants of the once flourishing Siouan tribe now admixed primarily with Whites of the area. Study of physical traits and blood types was made in 1962 at the time they terminated reservation status. The data permit comparisions with other populations and an estimation of the genetic contribution of presumed parental populations to the hybrid. Skeletal remains of Siouan Indians from archeological sites in the area provide a basis for morphological comparisons. Similar ties of the Catawba to the Indian Knoll people of Kentucky and to the Occaneechi people of early historic times are noted. Results of blood typings of these ancient bones also enable some tentative serological comparisons with the present day Catawba Indians. Certain unusual factors in the history of the present population have affected their isolation and admixture, and this interaction of culture and biology is explored.

Cultural Persistence versus Local Adaptation: Frank G. Speck's Catawba Indians

Cultural persistence, or continuity, is a recurrent theme in anthropological studies of acculturation. Until recently many anthropologists assumed that native peoples undergoing acculturation occasionally preserved isolated fragments of their cultural traditions as reefs of stability in an otherwise overwhelming flood of Westernization. It appeared that some institutions could be encapsulated and made immune to alteration. In some cases, this view proceeded from the peculiar perspective of a field worker: he was most intent on finding continuity, on discovering the contemporary modifications of aboriginal institutions, and in searching for persistence he tended to place weak emphasis on the more important fact of adoption of Western cultural characteristics. At other times, especially in studies of American Indian acculturation, the ethnographer appears to have overlooked local variations of AngloAmerican cultural patterns. Both of these marks of earlier American anthropology appear in the reports of Frank G. Speck, who may be taken as an example of the more capable ethnographers of the American Indian. From field work conducted among the Catawba Indians of South Carolina in 1963, I have come to question some of Speck's
