Abstract
This source is composed of sections of Callender's study of Central Algonquin social organization. Through the use of written documents and logical inference, Callender reconstructs aboriginal social organization of various tribes and traces the historical changes in social organization. Only those sections dealing with the Fox (and culturally similar tribes) have been processed for this File. Included are data on Fox kinship terminology, kin relations, descent groups, dual division, and ritual organizations.
