Psychoanalysts will usually look for anthropological data in books on the sexual, social and ceremonial life of primitive tribes, or in accounts of myths and beliefs, rather than in books dealing with material culture. Here and there in Osgood's book, however, one finds data of interest. The author discusses toys and games (pp. 389–403), puberty paraphernalia (pp. 405–408), funerary objects (pp. 409–416), and religious ceremonial objects (pp. 417–428). Men's urine is used for tanning, women's for washing purposes (p. 340).
The book is an excellent and painstaking contribution to Alaskan anthropology.
