Nomads of the Longbow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nomads of the Longbow [1] is a book by Allan R Holmberg, an anthropologist who studied Peru and other South American indigenous peoples. The book concerns itself with the indigenous Bolivians, the SirionĂ³, who were determined to be rather backward and undeveloped in terms of culture and civilization. This determination was applied to other indigenous groups of people from both North and South America. [2]
