Description

136 pages. 12.5 x 10.5". Chronology. Illustrated endpapers. "This extraordinary book portrays a rich and flourishing culture. An extended essay illustrated with archival photographs sets the scene. Then 80 stunning colour images chronicle an annual cycle of activity from the oolichan harvest to the coming of winter, from the raising of the first new totem pole in a century to documenting ceremonies rooted in pre-history. The interweaving of image with words from an oral tradition, which predates the Greeks by thousands of years, reveals a wonderfully sophisticated understanding of the human and natural world." - from dust jacket. Clean, bright and unmarked with light wear. Dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A lovely copy of the handsome tribute to the Nisgaa people. Book
