Hunza: An Ethnographic Outline

 
H. Sidky (Author)
Synopsis

The people of Hunza who inhabit the western Karakoram mountains, live in one of the most formidable upland regions on earth. For centuries, they have met their subsistence requirements through a mixed agricultural pastoral economy based on the utilization of attitudinally defined and vertically arranged productive zones. Isolated in their remote, inhospitable, and resource-scare high-mountain environment, the Hunzakut have had to find practical solution to such basic problems as shortage of arable land, lack of sufficient water for irrigation, and ever in creasing population pressure on resources. This study offers a systematic compilation of available ethnographic, historical and ecological data on traditional Hunzakut society, which will be of considerable use to those interested in this area and anthropological studies.
