The work is separated into two volumes and consists of four parts (two in each volume). The second volume consists of 490 pages and includes 22 copperplate engraving illustrations. Parts 3 and 4 (vol.2) focus on the gender responsibilities, warfare, trade, hunting and fishing, games, sickness and medicine, death rituals, and language of Indigenous peoples.
