Dust jacket has some tears, previous owner’s name on inside page The native people who lived on the Pacific Coast of British Columbia - as well as in the northwest corner of Washington and in coastal Alaska adjacent to British Columbia - inhabited a region with a remarkable wealth of natural foods. This plenty gave them time and energy not needed for survival and made possible a remarkable cluster of human cultures, each somewhat similar yet distinctive, and each one rich in social ceremony, myth, art and theatre".
