The Ojibwa of Canada
Cooperation and competition among primitive peoples • New York • Published In 1937 • Pages: v-ix, 87-126
By: Landes, Ruth.
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article by Landes is a study of competitive and cooperative behavior among the Ojibwa of Manitou Reserve in southwest Ontario, and is the product of an inquiry conducted as a seminar at Columbia University. While being part of a larger project, this study is sufficiently complete in itself to stand independently, and in citing instances of competitive, cooperative, and individualistic enterprises the author gives information on the division of labor, the ownership of property, interpersonal relations, functions of kin groups, the Grand Medicine Society, and the education of children.
