Language disclaimer
The terminology that is used to speak of hunter-gatherer, or former hunter-gatherer communities is widely contested. The use of terms in this archive reflects ideas of its time, and varies across the 100 years of its production. Some of the terms used in the documents presented here, as well as some of the ideas expressed, may be racist or in other ways offensive. We do not endorse or support these views.
We also acknowledge that scholars and the general public will want to consult these documents and as such we have not altered the originals or excluded materials. We recognise that people would rather be called by the names they have for themselves rather than by terms conferred upon them. As far as possible we have used these terms as they were recorded, knowing, however, that in some cases these names have changed according to changing linguistic conventions.
