AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Shifferd's article describes the economic adjustments made by the Chippewa (Ojibwa) people of northern Minnesota during the latter part of the nineteenth century. 'With the signing of the last treaty in 1854, the way was cleared for penetration of the land by white commercial interests and settlers. By extending their traditional adaptive strategies and continuing their basic cultural flexibility, the native peoples of the area were able to adjust to this penetration without massive social breakdown' (p.16).
