Abstract The Chuuk files contains 31 documents, most of which are based on research carried out during and after the 1947-1948 Coordinated Investigation of Micronesian Anthropology project. An earlier work covers religion, language, and material culture. Other subjects found in this file include geography, history, arts, and native zoology and botany; descriptions of Chuuk artifacts, canoe travel, and taro cultivation; medical concepts; sociopolitical organization and property as well as native astronomy, changes in property relations, and Chuuk origins; works on social relationships; studies of the educational system under the Japanese, Chuuk personality and patterns of authority in relation to colonization, an analysis of Chuuk personality, and Chuuk character and prestige. Discussions of cultural change are found in studies of change in patterns of adoption, infant feeding practices, and fertility. Several works focus on the serious social problems of alcoholism, and suicide. Other topics explored are sexual behavior and relationships and ideas about sexual reproduction.
