content: Mainly extracted from published historical sources, in rough alphabetical arrangement by subject and tribe. Covers wide variety of subjects, often with only one card per subject; fairly extensive file (approximately 500 cards) on sign language. Some entries filed under tribe name, but entries filed by subject are not cross-indexed by tribe. Presumably the principal coverage is of the northern and southern Plains tribes, and the Apache--Scott's main areas of interest and experience.
