AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Although the author surrounds his paper with a few theoretical notes about law and social pressures to conformity, his major interest appears to be a discussion of mutual assistance. In particular, over half the article is devoted to illustrating signalling devices used by the Montagnais-Naskapi when they need emergency help and the discussing the reactions of others to these signals.
