It consists of ten sections: an introduction, a conclusion and eight ethnographic chapters, each dealing with a separate way of life.

In the book I attempt to trace the changes in these ways of life as they were occurring just previous to the settlement of colonial outsiders. This attempt proved feasible since for seven of them first contact accounts are available.
