About The Tribe
There are many opinions and much conflicting information out there about the Jumano. Here is why. Although many of the older sources are pretty good, many of the OLDER sources contain not good and outdated material. These older sources were doing the best they could with the information they had to work with and much of what is in them is still valuable. The only comprehensive up to date source on the Jumano I know of is the book, "The Jumanos", by Nancy Hickerson, University of Texas Press. Hickerson does a good job of putting the older information in a new perspective and sorting out and eliminating conflicting data. Serious students would do better to read Hickerson first, then read the older sources with Hickerson’s new material in mind.
