Yarrow is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work aims to systematically explore and document the varied mortuary practices of Indigenous tribes across North America, highlighting the philosophical and social significance of these customs. The opening of the book presents a comprehensive introduction to Dr. Yarrow's research objectives and methodological approach. It emphasizes the importance of understanding mortuary customs as a reflection of cultural beliefs regarding life, death, and the afterlife among Native American tribes. Dr. Yarrow articulates plans to gather ethnographic data from firsthand observations and reliable accounts, categorizing practices such as burial methods, mourning rituals, and the treatment of the deceased. He notes the challenges in accessing truthful testimonies from Indigenous peoples while underscoring a commitment to objective analysis, aiming to provide a lasting scholarly resource that captures these practices before they are lost to the pressures of modernization.
