The Sechelt and the South-Eastern Tribes of Vancouver Island
Library Item
Volume IV of The Salish People deals with the Sechelt and the South-Eastern Tribes of Vancouver Island and includes a bio-bibliography of Charles Hill-Tout, as well as miscellaneous short pieces of special interest, such as letters and a review of Franz Boas' book about Bella Coola. Marius Barbeau tells the story of a noted English anthropologist arriving in New York in the first years of this century and asking his American colleague who met him at the pier: "Where's Hill-Tout?" This query, says Barbeau, "was often repeated with a smile among New York anthropologists as characteristic of the British point of view as to the progress of American anthropology." Ralph Maud's introduction to this volume finally locates Hill-Tout among his peers. It reveals a man "whose inner dignity is real enough, not something dependent on the opinions of others. It sees him through."
