There is a body of valuable hints, brief sketches, partial analyses, and suggestions, but many important fea- tures of the old life have remained unexplored from the structural point of view. Some of the data, of course, could not be procured in 1900, and are not available today due to the vicissitudes to which the Luisefno have been subjected. Accultura- tion serves to raise difficulties also, but the character of the old Luise-no culture is so distinctive that, given time and thorough familiarity with the people, the native features can usually be extricated from the Spanish, Mexican, and Anglo-Ameri- can elements. This applies as much to details of the old social patterns as to ma- terial culture.
