4to. 59, [1] leaves. With 21 leaves of plates illustrating Alaskan Native American basket weaving patterns, totem pole designs, and other motifs. Green colour-tinted softcovers, cover art photo & illustration by Jones Yeltatazie (b. 1897), famed Alaskan Haida carver, uniform light interior toning (underlining, corrections, and notes by Voget), still VG- copy, from the library of Frederick Voget (1913-1997), noted American anthropologist and expert on the Crow Indians.

Established originally in 1903, the United States Indian School in Ketchikan was intended to educate and assimilate Indigenous Children into mainstream Euro-caucasian culture, but following the 1929 decision of Irene Jones vs. Ketchikan Bureau of Education, when Judge Harding had ruled that forcing Native American children to continue to be segregated from mainstream public schools was discrimination, the boarding school was closed following the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

Exceptions to the right of withdrawal

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.

Shipping terms

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG.

Sets, and other heavy books which are ordered will be requested to include increased shipping costs, if these are not forthcoming immediately, the order will be cancelled. Additional costs will be charged to the purchaser at exactly the postage required to ship if over the quoted amount. We apologize for this inconvenience, but these costs have become so high, that this seller just cannot absorb them. Call (360) 695-7767 if you have any questions.
