The Tsimshian Indians and Their Arts

The Tsimshian Indians and Their Arts is a study of one of the most creative of Northwest Coast Indian cultures, which is here compared and related to the life and art of neighboring Indian peoples in British Columbia and Alaska. The structure of Tsimshian society, its religion and mythology, drama and dance, painting and sculpture, metalwork and weaving - all are examined and illustrated in a manner which will fascinate anyone interested in primitive cultures in general and American Indian societies in particular.
