Epigraph

Dedication

First words

Copway, a native Chippewa, wrote in 1851 regarding the origin of the name of his people: "I have heard a tradition related to the effect that a general council was once held at some point above the Falls of St. Anthony, and that when the Ojibways came to this general council they wore a peculiar shoe or moccasin, which was gathered on the top from the tip of the toe, and at the ancle [sic].

(Preface): The purpose of this study is to reccord the customs and beliefs of the primitive Chippewa Indians of the United States as evidenced in the development and training of the child.

(Introduction to the Reprint Edition): Sister Mary Inez Hilger's study Chippewa Child Life and Its Cultural Background is a rich and detailed portrait of the Chippewa or Ojibway people in the 1930s.
