In The Wake Of The War Canoe is a historical account of the Kwakiutl people and their way of life in the early 1900s. Written by W.H. Collison, a missionary who lived among the Kwakiutl for over 40 years, the book offers a unique perspective on the culture and traditions of this indigenous community. The book begins with a brief history of the Kwakiutl, including their origins and early interactions with European explorers. Collison then delves into their daily lives, describing their social structure, religious beliefs, and customs. He also provides detailed accounts of their fishing and hunting practices, as well as their use of canoes for transportation and warfare. Throughout the book, Collison emphasizes the resilience and adaptability of the Kwakiutl people, who faced numerous challenges in the wake of European colonization. He also highlights the importance of preserving their culture and traditions in the face of modernization and assimilation. Overall, In The Wake Of The War Canoe is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Kwakiutl people, as well as the broader history of indigenous peoples in North America.A Stirring Record Of Forty Years������� Successful Labor, Peril And Adventure Amongst The Savage Indian Tribes Of The Pacific Coast, And The Piratical Head-Hunting Haidas Of The Queen Charlotte Islands, B.C.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
