Totemic Identity and Aboriginal Governance - Darlene Johnston
This research plan is to demonstrate the extent to which oral tradition as recorded in colonial archives and missionary linguistics materials can be uitlized to produce a full-bodied, internatlly-consistent and coherent account of Algonquian totemic identity and governance structures. In support of this research I will require funding to purchase computer equipment and research assistance with document retrieval, transcription and translation.
