Peoples of the coast : the Indians of the Pacific Northwest

Woodcock, George 1912-1995 (author.).

Summary: In "Peoples of the Coast" George Woodcock, one of Canada's greatest writers, has produced a truly outstanding work on the remarkable culture that first began to develop thousands of years ago in the rain forests and along the inlets of the Pacific Northwest. The book is richly illustrated with fine examples of COast Indian Art. Although the author refers to the written records - briefly quoting the journals of early mariners and giving the views of anthropologists - it is principally to the art itself that he looks when assessing the practices and beliefs of the COast Indians.
