Artifacts of the Northwest Coast Indians

Library Item

From the Tlingit of the north to the Coast Salish in the south, the author spans the broad range of the Pacific Northwest Coast in depicting a wealth of stone, bone, antler and shell artifacts of the early Indian cultures. Clearcut diagrams showing how these items were made and how they were used give liveliness and meaning to the unearthed fragments of the past. In the only book to cover this subject, Hilary Stewart's extensive research has culminated in over 1000 scientifically correct illustrations. She writes with warmth and sensitivity, as well as accuracy, and with an acute awareness of the interests of both the layman and the serious student.
