In his travels during 1615, Champlain visited an Indian town, known as Cahiague, which apparently had a population of about 5,000 inhabitants, and must have been the largest settlement in Canada at the time. This article is about an archaeological expedition in 1946, which uncovered that site in north Simcoe County, near the hamlet of Warminster.…

Hardbound. Condizione: Good. Reissue Edition. Description: From the foreword by Stutwinii of the Nuxalk Nation: ''We are thoroughly grateful and thankful for the writings of T F McIlwraith. It is interwoven with the history, feelings, and spirituality of a strong people. He listened and practiced, learned and understood the rich remnants f our people's oral history. We thus have these volumes.'' From the new introduction by Josh Barker: ''Part social analysis, part compendium part encyclopedia, it conveys the ancient wisdom spoken eloquently by Nuxalk (Bella Coola) elders like Joshua Moody. At the same time it conveys the fascinating and the profound respect a young Canadian anthropologist, Thomas McIlwraith, developed toward the Nuxalk elders during month of intense conversations.''

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Reprint Edition. From the personal library of the editor of this reprinted edition, and with his Introduction to both volumes. The definitive ethnographic study of the Nuxalk Indians of British Columbia. Two big, oversized, heavy Imperial octavo hardcover format copies, measuring 9 1/2" x 6 1/4" tall and wide, bound in tan cloth over boards, black lettering and illustrations to front covers and spine. Together, the volumes comprise a comprehensive survey of the ethnography and ethnology of the Bella Coola (Nuxalk) Indians of British Columbia. The title was originally published in 1948 and had to this point been long out of print. This 1992 reissue is a comprehensive guide to Nuxalk culture but also an homage to something of an exemplar of the use of ethnographic methods. Between 1922 and 1924, T.F. McIlwraith, then an anthropologist with the National Museum of Canada, spent part of each year with the Nuxalk. Like Franz Boas before him elsewhere, McIlwraith acquired an exhaustive knowledge of their culture, documenting the social-structure of Nuxalk society, their religious beliefs, and their mythology and supernatural beliefs. Potlatch practice, the life-cyle, warfare, games, and songs--it's all here. This edition's new Introduction by John Barker is lengthy and engaging, beginning with all of the other missionaries and sailors who visited the Bella Coola before the anthropologists arrive. Barker places the work in its historical context and reveals new information about McIlwraith's methods and personality. Foreword of the first volume by Stutwinii, from the Nuxalk Nation, then John Barker's Acknowledgments. The first volume contains chapters devoted to geographic location and environment, religion, social-structure, kinship and descent, origins and development of the Potlatch and sundry other topics. The second volume covers ethnographic particulars of Winter ceremonial dances, songs, warfare, games, stories, and with four appendices: Mechanical processes, String figures, Glossary of flora and fauna, Bella Coola - English vocabulary.Volume One: li [2], 1-763 pp. including notes, bibliography and index; Volume Two: 672 pp. and with notes, bibliography and index.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.

Soft cover. Condizione: As New. 2nd Edition. There might be extra charge for excess weight of both books. Volume one : new; volume two : fine. « The classic ethnographic study of the Bella Coola (Nuxalk) Indians of British Columbia, originally published in 1948 and long out of print, is now available again. It is both a comprehensive guide to Nuxalk culture and a central document in the study of ethnographic methods. Between 1922 and 1924, T.F. McIlwraith, then an anthropologist with the National Museum of Canada, spent part of each year with the Nuxalk, acquiring an exhaustive knowledge of their culture. In these volumes he documented the structure of Nuxalk society, the practice of religion, and the role of mythology and the supernatural. He discussed the potlatch and described ceremonies and beliefs surrounding birth, adolescence, marriage, and death. Separate chapters deal with warfare, games, and songs. Of particular interest is a lengthy and detailed description of the winter ceremonial. That McIlwraith was granted the unprecedented privilege of participation in one of these is an indication of the high esteem in which the Nuxalk held him. The two-volume set now contains a new introduction by John Barker which places the work in its historical context and reveals new information about McIlwraith's methods.».…
