Abstract
This volume is a continuation of the author's transcription and analysis of Chippewa music (see Densmore 1929) and a study of functional relationship of these songs to Chippewa tribal life. Of particular importance are the war songs. In fact these songs and the accompanying ethnographic data in biographical and narrative form are the major ethnographic materials on Chippewa warfare. There is also excellent material on dream songs, Mide songs, drum presentation songs, love songs and dance songs.
