Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source, written by a professional ethnologist, deals
with the economic situation of the Marshall Islanders, both historically and in the present
day. Heavy emphasis is placed on the modern economic activities. A rounded description is
given of the islands and cultural background, followed by detailed discussions of property
rights, labor, foreign trade, and the processing and manufacture of items for foreign
trade. Descriptions are included of modern native industries and the products involved. Pp.
111-145, and an appendix have been omitted from the files, since the former deals with
recommendations for action and the latter deals with a native land transfer legal
document.
