About This Book
The collections of the Field Museum of Natural History contain 110 ethnographic objects collected among the Plains Cree of central Alberta in 1892 for the World's Columbian Exposition by Isaac Cowie, a retired Hudson's Bay Company trader living in Edmonton. The artifacts in this collection are described and illustrated. For comparative purposes, information is included from previous studies of the Plains Cree, notably those of Mandelbaum (1940, 1979).
