"[<i>Contributions to Ojibwe Studies</i> is] a deeply interesting revelation of a world that readers, along with Hallowell, can walk into and only slowly come to see and experience as do these subsistence hunter-fisher and plant-harvester northern people." —A.B. Kehoe, <i>Choice</i> "The new collection of Hallowell's essays constitutes a significant core of his life's work."-Chris Paci, <i>American Review of Canadian Studies</i>
This collection is the first time that the majority of Hallowell's otherwise widely dispersed essays about the Ojibwe have been gathered into a single volume, thus providing a focused, in-depth view of his contributions to our knowledge and understanding of a vital North American aboriginal people. This volume also contributes to the history of North American anthropology, since Hallowell's approaches to and analyses of his findings shed light on his role in the shifting intellectual currents in anthropology over four decades.
