First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Very Good dust jacket with some fading to the spine and two small closed edge tears to the front panel. Myron Eells spent more than 30 years (1874-1907) as a missionary on the Skokomish Reservation in western Washington State, where he recorded details of Indian life. He served during a period of transition, when both federal and religious authorities sought to "civilize" the Indians as rapidly and thoroughly as possible, and Eells observed the cultural changes firsthand. Though he published some articles during his life, the manuscript of his study was neglected; it is published here for the first time. Anthropology professor Castile has edited the work to present an orderly narrative. Eells worked mainly with the Twana and Klallon tribes of the Coast Salish; he had a particular interest in their material culture, but he also describes potlatches, burial customs and religion (including the rise of the Shaker Church). In his afterword, anthropologist Elmendorf appraises Eells's work as an ethnographer. Fully illustrated.…

Green colour-tinted softcovers, cover art photo & illustration by Jones Yeltatazie (b. 1897), famed Alaskan Haida carver, uniform light interior toning (underlining, corrections, and notes by Voget), still VG- copy, from the library of Frederick Voget (1913-1997), noted American anthropologist and expert on the Crow Indians. First lithoprint mimeograph edition of this very scarce cultural and ethnological history of the Tlingit, Haida, & Tsimshian Indigenous Peoples, drawn from the oral and written accounts by Native American students at the United States Indian School in Ketchikan, AK when it was still operating before World War II. Featuring extended discussions of the Alaskan Indigenous Peoples folklore, cultural heritage, along with illustrations and discussions of their clothing, food, weapons, hunting, fishing, architecture, arts, paintings, wood carving, totem poles, canoes, trade, religion, shamanism, and much more. Established originally in 1903, the United States Indian School in Ketchikan was intended to educate and assimilate Indigenous Children into mainstream Euro-caucasian culture, but following the 1929 decision of Irene Jones vs. Ketchikan Bureau of Education, when Judge Harding had ruled that forcing Native American children to continue to be segregated from mainstream public schools was discrimination, the boarding school was closed following the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act. The building is now part of the Univ. of Alaska, Southeast Ketchikan campus. This original report is quite scarce, and although Harvard is the only actual copy listed in Worldcat, due to improper mixing of Kirtas Technology reprints & computer copies, it is difficult to discern exactly how many originals are still retained.…
