Scientifique from November 1961 to January 1987. The CNRS financed
all of my field-work and research during these years, even though
much of the latter was not published in French. At the libraries
of the Musée de lHomme, and the Maison de Science de
lHomme I was able to consult nearly all the documents I needed.
The personnel was always very obliging and helpful. As of 2000 Dr.
Pierre Rouillard, the director of the Maison René Ginouves.
Archéologie et Ethnologie de lUniversité Paris
10 a Nanterre has been very cooperative, as well as many other French
colleagues associated with these institutions.
In Argentina:
The colleagues at the Centro Austral de Investigaciones Científicas,
in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, have likewise been cooperative in
many ways, through the years. It was thanks to the Navy Base and
its Subprefectura, also in Ushuaia, that I was able to make the
expeditions to the Isla de los Estados in 1982 and 1985. In Buenos
Aires the Insituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia has
never failed to support me when needed, as many friends and scholars
in Buenos Aires.
In Chile:
I am especially grateful to my Yahgan friends in Ukika, near Puerto
William, Navarino Island: Cristina Calderón, Ermelinda Acuña
and the late Ursula Calderón and Rosa Clemente . They were
most willing to share their memoires and knowledge of the "old
ways" with me. I also want to thank the captain and crew assigned
to the launch, El Castor, (of Chilean Navy) and the Navy
authorities in Punta Arenas for the trips in the area during the
years 1987 and 1988. In this same city, the l'Instituto de la Patagonia,
especially its founder and former director, Dr. Mateo Martinic B.,
have always been extremely helpful .
In Honduras:
The Instituto Hondureño de Antropologia e Histoira in Tegucigalpa
has facilitated my many trips to the Tolupan and Lenca communites
and invariably supported my research.
In Mexico:
The Centre dEtudes Mexicaines et Centramericaines (known
as CEMCA), has not only been indispensable for my field-work in
Honduras thanks to the first director, Guy Stresser-Pean. where
the first book on the Tolupan was published and later the second
volume on the Lencas. I have also been greatly helped by the Instituto
de Investiaciones Antropologicas of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma
de México, the organisation that published the two Lenca
volumes with the second one published in collaboration with CEMCA.
In the U.S.A.:
I was again privileged to have studied with Professor Karl Polanyi
during the mid-fifties. I continue to be grateful to the Research
Institute for the Study of Man (RISM) in New York, to its founder
Dr. Vera Rubin, its present director, June Anderson, as well as
Jane Rubin and Lewis Burgess. The assistance of the latter has made
possible the elaboration of this "site."
