The proposed research project will analyze the expressive and                   sociocultural functions of narrative in Native American oral                    traditions.  Specifically the student will work with the Severn                 Ojibwe of northern Ontario and northeastern Manitoba, Canada.                   Ojibwe is one of the most viable indigenous languages in North                  America today.  The project will look at the formal linguistic                  aspects of oral tradition within the social context of an Ojibwe                community.                                                                                                                                                      This study will provide an empirical, discourse-based ethnography               of one of the most conservative Native American speech                          communities in North America as well as linguistic information                  on a little studied group.  It will also help anthropologists                   and linguists understand the place of principals of organization                of oral narrative in comparison to other forms of discourse in                  cultural life.
