"Families of the Forest constitutes a valuable contribution to the
regional ethnography, particularly as regard techniques of
subsistence and the organization of communal life, and it will be
essential reading for any interested in the area. There is much in
the book for the specialist and, especially in the 'everyday close'
approach, it also provides an eloquent and accessible account of
this montana society for the nonspecialist."
