Indians of the Pacific Northwest

The Pacific Northwest was geographically and ethnographically a diverse region. This book delves into the cultures and lifestyles of the Pacific Northwest Indian tribes in a scholarly and authoritative way. In addition to the cultural study, Ruby and Brown also discuss the impact of the non-Indians such as the mariners, fur traders, missionaries and the effects that disease epidemics had on the native people of the Pacific Northwest region. It is a valuable resource both for the serious scholar and general readers. Paperback, 304 pages
