Munro S. Edmonson

Detailed sketches of five languages not covered in the original Handbook of Middle American Indians: Mixe, Chichimeco Jonaz, Choltí, Tarascan, and Huastec.

This third volume of the Supplement is devoted to the aboriginal literatures of Mesoamerica, a topic receiving little attention in the original Handbook.

The Mixe of Oaxaca was the first extensive ethnography of the Mixe, with a special focus on Mixe religious beliefs and rituals and the curing practices associated with them.
