Recording Their Story

James Teit and the Tahltan

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Recording Their Story describes the life of James Teit, one of Canada's earliest ethnographers, and his work among the Tahltan people of northern British Columbia almost a century ago. Teit's work collecting artifacts, taking photographs, recording songs, transcribing myths and gathering information about social organization, ceremonial life, customs and beliefs, has proved invaluable. Today, this collection is the most important extant assemblage of the Tahltan's heritage.
