Description
Barrett wrote a study of bear doctors among the Pomo people of California. The paper came out from the University of California in 1917. It runs from page 443 to page 465 with one plate. It sits in a set on the lore and old life of native groups. Barrett worked in the field of man's past and folk ways.
Bear doctors were men held to take bear form and use bear power. Barrett sets out what the Pomo said of them and how they acted. He notes their role in fear, cure, and strife in the group. Readers get a close record of a belief now long past.
