dc.description.abstractHuman society is essentially composed of, and based on, socialinteraction groups. Whether in the form of small groups or a systemic whole, interactions exist not only on the level of individuals, but also in interactions between groups. Anthropologists, psychologists and sociologists have long recognized the importance of groups in society and have examined many of these interactions . Oddly enough, while considerable emphasis has been placed on small groups and on larger political units, the intermediate stage of sociopolitical development has largely been ignored . This is even more surprising in view of the recognized social importance of groups of this size. In this study I have, therefore, undertaken an examination of the basic causes of group formation and extinction. Because of the close relationship between band formation and migration in the ethnogenesis of political groups, a similar study was also made with regard to migration causality. The study population consists of bands or band units identifiable in western Canada in the period from A.D. 1600 to A.D. 1900. The analysis, I feel, sheds considerable light not only on the ethnogenesis of western Canadian Indian bands, but also on the processes of band formation, expiration, and migration, revealing heretofore unexpected interrelationships in causality.
