In Proclamation 6920 of September 18, 1996, and exercising his authority under the Act of June 8, 1906 (34 Stat. 225) (the “Antiquities Act”), President William J. Clinton established the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in the State of Utah, reserving approximately 1.7 million acres of Federal lands for the care and management of objects of historic and scientific interest identified therein. The monument is managed by the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM). This proclamation makes certain modifications to the monument.

This edition of “Configurations of Culture in North America” is the openest, freest, and shortest summary of Ruth Benedict’s 1934 classic _Patterns of Culture_ available. In it, Benedict rehearses the same arguments — often with the same data — that we see in _Patterns_. I hope that it will introduce these arguments to readers who do not have the time (or money) to read _Patterns_, which is still under copyright (at least in the United States).

Photograph of a fairly modern Zuni house, ca.1898. The two-story rectangular dwelling has exterior ladders and glass-paned windows. The dome of an oven (?) is visible above the roof of the first floor. The rafter tails are exposed.

Photograph of a Zuni pueblo from the southeast showing the community vegetable gardens, ca.1898. The pueblo lies on top of a rise, the gardens in walled areas before the pueblo on the slope of the rise. Exterior ladders lean against the interconnected multi-tier dwellings of the pueblos. Several people stand at the bottom of the rise.

Photograph of a Zuni Indian man riding donkey to his cornfield, ca.1898. He is wearing a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and a cloth tied around his head. A long adobe wall and a child are visible in the background.

Photograph of the old church at the pueblo of Zuni, New Mexico, ca.1898. The adobe walls of the two-story structure are considerably eroded. A second-floor balcony is sagging precariously.

Photograph of the natural stone pillars, "The Cacique's Son and Daughter" on Dowa Yallane (Towayalane), a mountainous mesa near the pueblo of Zuni, New Mexico, ca.1898. At right, a tall cliff is pictured, extending to a turret-shaped rock formation at center. Below, desert terrain is visible.

Photograph of a Zuni father and son, ca.1898. The father sits on a chair holding a cigarette in his right hand, while the son, standing behind him, leans on his father's shoulder. The father wears a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and a cloth around his head. He also has several necklaces and a pair of hoop earrings. The boy also wears a long-sleeved shirt and pants, but no jewelry. Behind the two is an exterior corner of adobe walls.

Photograph of a group of four Zuni children, ca.1898. Two boys sit on the floor. They wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, and one wears a bandanna on his head. One girl sits on a chair in the middle, while another one stands next to her. They have short black hair and wear dresses with shawls. They are outside in the corner formed by two adobe walls.

Photograph of a Zuni Mission Church and three Indian children, ca.1900. The chldren stand before a low adobe wall. A wooden balcony from the second story of the church is visible behind them. A large wooden cross is planted in the arid church yard behind the wall. Other native dwellings are visible in the background at right.

Photograph of general view of the Zuni Indian pueblo from the gardens, ca.1898. Constructed on a low bluff, the dozens of dwellings, some stacked upon others, have flat roofs and are accessed via ladders. Rough wood or stone fences and walls surround agricultural plots adjacent to the pueblo. About 5 head of cattle are grazing at the foot of the bluff.

Photograph of about fourteen wooden Indian idols perched on ledge somewhere inside or near a cave, California, ca.1900. All of the statues have similar features such as full figured heads, a hole drilled into the body, and wood type. Wood chips litter the ledge.

Photograph of a Zuni Indian making wampum, ca.1898. He is seen using some type of primitive drilling device to drill a hole into an object he placed on the stool. The stool is held together with metallic wires. The man is sitting on a short square crate. He is wearing a buttoned up collar shirt and has turban-like headband wrapped around his head. He stares off to his left while using his right leg to hold the stool and his arms to do the drilling. Behind him is an adobe house with several large slabs of stone(?) leaned against it.

Photograph of two Zuni Indian men making wampum, ca.1900. Both men are wearing buttoned up collar shirts and have turban-like headbands wrapped around their heads. The man on the left is measuring a piece of wood, while the man on the right is using a primitive drilling tool to drill into a small object situated on top of a wooden crate. The man on the right is wearing three necklaces of wampum. The man on the left is laying down silver(?) and preparing it for his associate to drill. Around them lie slabs of stones(?).
