Item description from seller

139 pages. Glossary. List of sources. Black and white photographic plates. Signed and inscribed by Chief Harris upon half-title page. "Told at their gatherings by the Indians of the Skeena and Nass Rivers region for countless generations, the eight myths in this volume are translated for the first time by one of their chiefs. Simple in style, the myths deserve a close reading to reveal their full effect. The introductions, notes, and glossaries which have been added help explain the important symbols and hereditary titles of these Northern British Columbia people. Chief Arthur McDames recorded the tapes from which these translations have been made." - from back cover. Above-average wear. Binding intact. Prior owner's names inside front cover. A worthy copy. [About Indians 836].
