Chippewa Customs

by Frances Densmore

Frances Densmore, born in 1867, was one of the first ethnologists to specialize in the study of American Indian music and culture. Her book, first published in 1929, remains an authoritative source for the tribal history, customs, legends, traditions, art, music, economy, and leisure activities of the Chippewa (Ojibway) Indians of the United States and Canada.

[Lynn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Full of information, but more a reference book than a narrative to be read straight through.

I enjoyed reading this. It is a reference book but goes into great detail on the customs and traditions. I found it most enjoyable to read 10 pages in the morning and simply think about the customs I read throughout the day. Very educational.
