In this paper it is proposed to explore the motivations and other social forces that drive the Attawapiskat Cree Indian, particularly the adult male, to work. An attempt will also be made to indicate briefly how knowledge of work incentives may be of use in cross-cultural administration. I am aware of one other specific study dealing with the problem of work incentives in an exotic community. This has been written by Thomas R. Garth and concerns the Atsugewi Indians of Northeastern California. Since there are points at which the Attawapiskat people's attitudes closely parallel those of Atsugewi society as the latter operated prior to white contact, a brief summary of Garth's material appears desirable
