Writing-hand differences in Kwakiutl Indians and Caucasians were compared between and within groups in a cross-cultural cross-sectional study. The Kwakiutl were less right-handed for writing at each of the three ages than the Caucasian sample. Current hypotheses on handedness do not account for the magnitude of these differences.
