Volume XLI October 8, 2009 Number 10
Program for the October 15, 2009, Meeting
Cathy Moser Marlett will present a program on the Seri people, now numbering
around one thousand, who for millennia lived on the eastern shore of the Gulf of
California. Their language and rich culture, threatened by increased contact with the
outside world, provide a unique glimpse at how past Gulf peoples used the region's
rich resources. The study details the Seri knowledge and use of mollusks. More than
150 species have been identified: most are presented with their Seri names (more
than 250) and ethnographic details. This presentation, a sampling of both shelled
and unshelled mollusks, includes photographs, graphic illustrations, and
ethnographic information. [129].
