A faithfully reproduced reprint of this collection,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: History and Folklore of the Cowichan Indians (Paperback)
In the late 1800s, Martha Douglas Harris (the halfbreed daughter of the former governor of British Columbia) witnessed first hand the destruction of the Cowichan tribal culture in Vancouver, Canada. Deftly edited by Paul Lindholdt (Associate Professor of English, Eastern Washington University), this edition of Martha's History And Folklore Of The Cowichan Indians is a faithfully reproduced reprint (including the original illustrations by Mar-garet C. Maclure) of this collection of Native American folktales first published in 1901 to honor Martha's Cree Indian heritage. Also included is Martha's back-story account of being a Victorian woman whose father had hoped to conceal her mixed-blood heritage. An accurate reproduction, this Marquette Books edition does correct for grammatical errors and one factual error, thus providing contemporary readers with a significant and seminal contribution to Native American Studies supplement reading lists and reference collections.
