Description

Kwakiutl Legends As Told to Pamela Whitaker by Chief James Wallas is a collection of traditional tales from the Kwakiutl people. These stories have been passed down through generations and relate the history, culture, and way of life of this indigenous community. The Kwakiutl traditionally lived in villages along the coast of British Columbia, organized into tribes, with their own distinct traditions and customs. Today, many still live on reserves near towns, while maintaining some remote villages for food preparation and preservation during the spring, summer, and fall. This book provides a unique insight into the Kwakiutl way of life, offering a glimpse into their history, culture, and values.
