Prospects for the northern Canadian native economy
Much ink has been spilled over the future prospects of a Northern native economy based on a mix of hunting, trapping and wage work. Information on the mixed economy appeared during debates over Northern pipeline development which raged during the 1970s; though the native lifestyle came under close scrutiny during that period, sceptics remain unconvinced of the very existence, let alone the viability, of a native mixed economy. In their view a way…

Anthropological Applications of Optimal Foraging Theory: A Critical Review [and Comments and Reply]
Recent applications of models of optimal foraging behavior to human foraging economies are summarized and evaluated. These models predict patterns of prey choice, habitat use, time allocation, settlement pattern, and foraging group size that will maximize some objective currency (such as the net rate of energy capture while foraging) under the constraints of resource characteristics and forager capabilities pertaining to a particular situation. I…

More on Women's Status in Egalitarian Societies
This article responds to Ernestine Friedl's assertion that women's status is higher in societies where they control the distribution of scarce and valued resources they themselves produce. Cox and Leacock argue that Friedl's focus on individual control over resources obscures the broader societal structures that determine women's status. They emphasize the importance of examining the overall social relations of production, particularly the divisi…

Anthropological Studies in the American South: Review and Directions [and Comments and Review]
Although anthropological studies in the American South have been conducted in the past few decades, we find that there is a growth of interest in this region recently. Because of the decrease in funding for anthropological research in other countries, combined with the attitudes anthropologists are more frequently encountering from peoples in other cultures, anthropological research has increasingly focused on subcultures and regions in North Ame…

Whalers under Canvas - W. Gillies Ross Whaling and Eskimos: Hudson Bay 1860–1915. Ottawa, National Museum of Man, (Publications in Ethnology, No 10), 1975, 164p, illus. $11.25
Ross's study pursues the implications of an observation by the late Diamond Jenness, the founding father of Canadian ethnology. Jenness concluded that Beaufort Sea whalers had brought considerable harm to the Eskimos of that area. In fact, he added, the whalemen had made their winter harbour at Herschel Island 'a hive of debauchery'. Would Jenness's judgement apply to the eastern Arctic? The cruise of the Neptune records the course of a Canadian …
Athapaskan Adaptations: Hunters and Fishermen of the Subarctic Forests
Changing Perceptions of Industrial Development in the North
This is a brief discussion of the issues at stake in the industrial development of the Mackenzie River region of Canada's North. In particular the essay focuses on the growing controversy surrounding a proposed natural gas pipeline from Alaska to Chicago via the Mackenzie and Northern Yukon. Native organizations in the Yukon and the Northwest Territories have begun to formulate their own policies toward industrial development—including pipelines—…

Hunters of the Northern Forest: Designs for Survival among the Alaskan Kutchin
Boreal forest Indians like the Kutchin of east-central Alaska are among the few native Americans who still actively pursue a hunter's way of life. Yet even among these people hunting and gathering is vanishing so rapidly that it will soon disappear. This updated edition of Hunters of the Northern Forest stands as the only complete account of subsistence and survival among the Kutchin, capturing a final glimpse of a way of life at the crossroads o…

Some Recent Trends in Ethnographic Studies of Law
This essay was done as part of a larger bibliographic project on the ethnography of law, begun by Laura Nader and her students at the University of California in the early 1960s. A summary of the results of this project was published in 1966 under the title "The Ethnography of Law: A Bibliographic Survey" (Nader et al., 1966). This work's more than 700 entries surveyed the literature on customary law in seven continental areas-Africa, Asia, the N…
The Tewa World: Space, Time, Being and Becoming in a Pueblo Society
This is a book that springs from richness. . . valuable not only for anthropologists and sociologists. . . the interested but unskilled layman will find a treasure trove as well. One thing seems certain. If this book does not become THE authority for the scholar, it will certainly never be ignored. Ortiz has done himself and his people proud. They are both worthy of the acclamation.-- The New Mexican
