Ojibwa -- Bibliography, Ojibwa 

"The series of bibliographies of which this book is one part is intended as a guide to reliable sources and studies in particular fields of the general literature. Apart from introducing us to the interesting Ojibwa people themselves, Tanner's survey of the literature on this extensive tribe is especially valuable for sources relevant to certain much-argued issues in anthropology and history. One of these is the nature of a tribe — what are the criteria that distinguish a tribe from a band or a clan? How does a tribe preserve its identity after changing its name and migrating from the territory with which it has been identified? The "tortured taxonomy" of the Ojibwas is rich in object lessons for the study of other tribes also.

The Ojibwas has two main parts: an essay and an alphabetical list of all works cited. All citations in the essay are keyed by means of bracketed numbers to the more complete information in the bibliography. The book is immensely useful to both beginning students and advanced scholars."--Back cover.
