Acculturation And Personality Among The Wisconsin Chippewa is an anthropological study conducted by Victor Barnouw and published in the October 1950 issue of American Anthropologist. The book explores the effects of acculturation on the personality of the Wisconsin Chippewa, a Native American tribe. Barnouw examines the changes that occurred in the Chippewa community as a result of contact with European settlers and the dominant American culture. He analyzes how these changes affected the Chippewa's sense of identity, self-esteem, and social relationships. The book is based on extensive fieldwork conducted by the author, including interviews with members of the Chippewa tribe, observations of their daily life, and analysis of their cultural artifacts. It provides a detailed and nuanced understanding of the complex process of acculturation and its impact on indigenous communities. Overall, Acculturation And Personality Among The Wisconsin Chippewa is a valuable contribution to the field of anthropology and a fascinating read for anyone interested in Native American culture and history.

Wisconsin Chippewa Myths and Tales, originally published in 1977, was the first collection of Chippewa folklore to provide a comparative and sociological context for the tales. These myths and tales were recorded between 1941 and 1944 by four young field workers who later became prominent anthropologists: Joseph B. Casagrande, Ernestine Friedl, Robert E. Ritzenthaler and Victor Barnouw himself. The tales - which include stories of tricksters, animals, magical powers, and cannibal ice-giants - were told primarily by five members of the Lac Court Orcilles and Lac du Flambeau bands of Chippewa: John Monk, Prosper Guibord, Delia Oshogay, Tom Badger and Julia Badger.
