About the Book
This valuable study of twentieth-century reservation life, first published in 1939, portrays 150 families at White Earth, Minnesota in a period of loss of traditional ways.Book Synopsis
During the summer and fall of 1938 Mary Inez Hilger, a sister of the Order of St. Benedict, lived on the White Earth Indian Reservation in northwestern Minnesota while she gathered data about housing conditions. Her work portrays both the traditional lifeways of 150 Chippewa families and the adaptations they made at a time of tremendous cultural change. In a series of interviews, she collected personal stories and a wealth of material about living conditions, social life, and material culture on the reservation. Her research, commissioned by the Bureau of Indian Affairs as part of a survey of the Chippewa reservations in Minnesota, became the basis for her dissertation in social science, first published in 1939.Dimensions (Overall): 9.06 Inches (H) x 6.05 Inches (W) x .65 Inches (D)
