136 pages. 12.5 x 10.5". Chronology. Illustrated endpapers. "This extraordinary book portrays a rich and flourishing culture. An extended essay illustrated with archival photographs sets the scene. Then 80 stunning colour images chronicle an annual cycle of activity from the oolichan harvest to the coming of winter, from the raising of the first new totem pole in a century to documenting ceremonies rooted in pre-history. The interweaving of image with words from an oral tradition, which predates the Greeks by thousands of years, reveals a wonderfully sophisticated understanding of the human and natural world." - from dust jacket.

When it is remembered that each of these required a Board or a Council, that elections were held each year and that a period of 68 years is involved, it will be seen that the number of 'earnest-minded men - and women - who served their fellow-citizens runs into the hundreds." - dust jacket.
