On 'Administration' of Natives
Representatives of government have seldom questioned the value of ethnological data for purposes of administration. In modern times practically every nation with expanding frontiers has supported inquiries into the customs of native peoples in areas of projected or accomplished occupation . . . Colonization programs, if they have not been dedicated to the destruction of indigenous populations, have necessitated a knowledge of local customs. - from
Anthropology in Administration, NY: Row, Peterson, 1956
