This review is from: Coast Salish Essays (Paperback)
This book is a compilation and revision of essays written by Professor Wayne Suttles, one of the best scholars of the culture, social relations, and environments of the native Americans known as the Coast Salish tribes. It is meticulously researched and beautifully written. I note that another reviewer thought that it misrepresents the native cultures of the region, but she is mistaken (and perhaps overly romantic). Testimony to its accuracy is the respect that it, and its author, has within the native American community, as in a testimonial to Dr. Suttles, who died May 2005, in "Indian Country," the on-line source of news for American Indians.
