Synopsis
This book explores the historical and physiological amalgamation of Indian and White people in the United States, particularly the Ojibwa tribe in Minnesota. The author, an anthropologist, examines physical characteristics to contrast pure-blood Indians from mixed-bloods and Whites, specifically through the measurements of head breadth and face breadth and the resulting ratio, which the author terms the face-breadth head-breadth index. The author posits that this ratio, in conjunction with other measurements, can be a useful factor in determining the blood status of individuals with mixed ancestry. The book delves into the historical context of Indian-White amalgamation in the Lake Superior region, discussing the fur trade and the influx of French and Scotch traders who intermarried with the native population. It also traces the lineage of mixed-blood families, including the prominent Warren family, to illustrate the cumulative and widespread nature of the amalgamation process.
