AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Beliefs regarding man, nature, and the supernatural, and their importance in the social and religious life of the Parry Island Ojibwa are given special attention in this work by Jenness. The author uses the myths and legends of the people to explain and supplement these beliefs, and also quotes directly to a great extent from informants. An Appendix at the end of the book brings together miscellaneous notes on the material culture which were gathered incidentally by the author.
