Content: The Garo live in the East and West Garo Hills District of the state of Meghalaya in India. The Garo is a major aboriginal group of this region of India and is divided into nine subtribes: Awe, Chisak, Matchi-Dual, Matabeng, Ambeng, Ruga-Chibox, Gara-Ganching, Atong, and the Megam. This file includes 33 documents that cover the period from the end of the 18th century up to 1990. However, most of the historical references go only as far back as the beginning of British occupation in the 1870s. The major topics covered are religion, literature, law, women's status, and the economy

Content: The Andamanese were the indigenous hunters and gatherers of the Andaman Islands. Comprising thirteen distinct ethnic groups at the beginning of the twentieth century, by late in the century only nineteen individuals remained. Thirteen documents have been included in the AZ02 Andamans file. These documents fall roughly into two groups on the basis of field dates and tribes studied. The earliest group contains the two major monographs in the file, Radcliffe-Brown and Man, plus a third monograph, Temple. These works focus primarily on the Andamanese tribes of Great Andaman. Man is the first important study; it was written by a government official who observed the Andamanese during the period 1869-1880 when their social and cultural life was still largely intact. Man's data pertain mainly to the Aka-Bea tribe of South Andaman, with a coverage of general ethnography, physical anthropology, and language. Temple was a government official who was in the area at the turn of the century (1901). His data are primarily on demography and geography, but include some ethnography and linguistics, drawing heavily on Man's work for the latter. Radcliffe-Brown is by a distinguished social anthropologist who presents a functional analysis of social organization, religio-magical beliefs and practices, and mythology. Unfortunately, by the time of Radcliffe-Brown's field work in 1906-1908, the Andamanese were at an advanced stage of population decline and socio-cultural disintegration, so he was unable to get a clear, detailed picture of the traditional society in operation. Radcliffe-Brown studied mainly the North Andaman tribes, plus the A-Pucikwar and Akar-Bale of the southern group. By the time the remaining nine documents were written, based on field work in the late 1940s, early 1950s, and later, the Andamanese were nearly extinct, and thus much of the material in these works deal primarily with the Ongees (Onges) and Jarwas (Jarawas)

Content: The League of the Iroquois was a confederacy of five Native North American nations; the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. The Tuscarora joined the League in 1722 and it became known as the Six Nations. In the late twentieth century members of the Six Nations lived primarily in Ontario and Quebec in Canada and New York State, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Oklahoma in the United States. This file on the Iroquois consists of 51 documents with a general time coverage from 1650-1990

Content: The Guaraní live in lowland South America. They are heterogeneous wide-ranging groups inhabiting sub-tropical regions from the Andes to the Atlantic Ocean. This file consists of 9 documents with a time span of coverage from approximately the fifteenth century to the early 1990s. The geographic focus of the file is rather diffuse ranging from southern Brazil, southern Mato Grosso, Paraguay, and the border areas of Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. The best general coverage of all Guaraní groups is that found in Métraux. Schaden's material concentrates on the Guaraní subgroups of Mbyá Ñandevá, and Kayová; Hanke and the Watsons focus their attention on the Cayua (Kaiowá). The specific location of the Watson's fieldwork centers on the village of Taquapir. The more recent studies by Clastres and Ganson deal primarily with the historical Guaraní population in Paraguay and the mission areas on the borders of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. Reed's work on the Chiripá of Paraguay (1981-1984) is an exploration of the various social and economic factors which has permitted this group to maintain their own distinct culture and society even after many years of contact with the dominant Paraguayan society. Major subject coverage in this file is on acculturation in various forms -- in terms of the Guaraní economy, religion, material culture, community and family structure, music, and folklore

Content: Arab Canadians are first-generation Christian or Muslim Arabic-speaking immigrants and their descendants who originally came from the Arab world and have roots in Arabic culture. Arab Canadians can be found throughout Canada, although the largest communities are found in major cities, such as Montreal and Toronto. There are five documents in the Arab Canadians file. The two major works cover the immigrant history, assimilation, and acculturation of Arab Canadians in Canada and Lebanese and Syrian Canadians in Nova Scotia. Three shorter articles examine the changes in Lebanese-Canadian households and families, the persistence of traditional customs in an Edmonton, Alberta Druse community, and a Lebanese community in Lac La Biche, Alberta
