Windigo Psychosis
Although "windigo psychosis" has served as a classic example of culture-bound psychopathology for almost half a century, five years' field experience among Northern Algonkians, extensive archival research, and a critical examination of the literature indicate that there probably never were any windigo psychotics in an etic/behavioral sense. When the windigo phenomenon is considered from the point of view of group sociodynamics rather than from th…

Personality and Probability
Rethinking Culture
Culture as a concept has not been fully examined by the profession for some time. This article is a challenge to carry out this examination. It begins by discussing problems in the use of the concept and then goes on to suggest a new way of looking at culture: as a cultural pool, analogous to the gene pool (both culture and genes being forms of storing and retrieving information), from which each individual, each dyad, each group draws its partic…
A Technique of Formalizing and Testing Models of Behavior
Social scientists often construct informal models of the behavior of typical members of a society or of members of a social category, such as "peasants." A technique of formalizing such models in terms of mathematical decision theory is illustrated with informal models offered by Hallowell and Freud. Quantitative implications of the models are compared with field data from two groups of Ojibwa
The Windigo Psychosis
Although windigo cannibalism is unique to the northern Algonkians, the psychodynamic factors which produce it are general. The differential occurrence of the disorder is explained in terms of the northern Algonkian emphasis on following inner promptings, the absence of cultural alternatives, and in terms of the nature of interaction in the particular bands for which cannibalism was reported
