Krippendorf's Tribe
Despondent and newly widowed anthropologist James Krippendorf must offer hard evidence of the existence of a previously uncovered New Guinea tribe after wasting his grant money. Grass skirts, makeup, and staged ceremonies convert his three problematic children into members of the Shelmikedmu, a prehistoric civilization whose customs fascinate academics. But when a malicious rival threatens to expose Krippendorf's deception, he joins in as well.
