A.L. Kroeber's The Religion of the Indians of California is a foundational work of cultural anthropology, documenting the spiritual practices of California's Indigenous peoples before their displacement.

Kroeber's detailed ethnographic recordings provide an irreplaceable window into the rich religious life of these communities.
