AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this article Hallowell explores the Ojibwa's metaphysical concepts related to the nature and relations of beings (both human and supernatural). The author discusses these concepts in terms of the relationship of Ojibwa to one another, to the category of 'other than human' spiritual beings, to the mythology, and to their over-all world view.
