Unav-Nuquaint: Little Springs Lava Flow Ethnographic Investigation

This is a study about a very unusual place and the innovative American Indian ceremonial response to an event that uniquely occurred at this place. The place, defined here as the Uinkaret Volcanic Field, was always culturally important to Indian people for ceremony. The place is so covered with evidence of past volcanic activity that one can think of it as a place to go to talk with and experience volcanoes. This seems according to Indian testimony to have been its primary purpose for thousands of years before the event.
