Abstract
To anyone who is somewhat acquainted with the southern Athapaskans of the southwestern United States, there are a number of marked historical similarities as well as some cultural resemblances between the southern Athapaskans and the Araucanian peoples. Both the Araucanians and the southern Athapaskans constitute discrete groups within which exist considerable differences of dialect (e. g., Picunche vs. Huilliche, western Navajo vs. Mescalero Apache), habitat (e. g., Navajo in highland steppe and forest vs. San Carlos Apache in lowland desert, Mapuche in humid forest vs. eastern Pehuenche in steppe and desert), native economy (e. g., sedentary agricultural Moluche vs. nomadic hunting and gathering Pehuenche of Patagonia and the pampas, sedentary agricultural Navajo vs. nomadic Lipan and Mescalero Apaches), physical type (e. g., Ranqueles vs. Chilotes, eastern Navajo vs. Mescalero Apache), etc.
