Excerpt from The Culture of the Winnebago: As Described by Themselves The culture of the Winnebago, when I first began my study, can best be under stood if one realizes that it was marginal both to the Old aboriginal culture and to the American. This holds as true for that part of the tribe living in their original habitat, Wisconsin, as for that segment transferred to eastern Nebraska. The belief, sometimes expressed, that the Wisconsin division was more conserva tive than the Nebraska one, that it had retained the older culture more fully and in a more integrated form and that, finally, there were appreciable differences of vocabulary between the two, is wholly without foundation. As a matter of fact, the Nebraska division which comprised two thirds of the tribe, received annuities from the government and was living in a small compact area, was, be cause Of this fact, in a much better position to maintain the old culture intact than the Wisconsin, where the people were scattered over a fairly extensive region, where intercommunication was difficult and where the group was frequently on the edge of starvation. When I say that the Winnebago culture of 1908 was marginal to that which existed before the coming Of the French in 1634, I mean that the Older economic basis of their life was gone, their political structure irretrievably shattered and their ordinary ways of living a hopeless blend Of Indian and white.
