About This Item
Chicago: The University of Chicago Press. Good in Fair dust jacket. 1970. First Edition. Hardcover. 0226476863 . "How does the rapidly changing modern world affect a large band of Salish Indians living on the east coast of Vancouver Island? A prosperous White town has grown up on the edge of their reserve, yet the Indians cling to many of their old ways of living, their old customs and ceremonies. There is very little integration with the life of the town. In this field study Claudia Lewis probes beneath the surface of the drinking and the disordered homes to find basic patterns of family and interpersonal life. She lived with the Indians and gathered field material for this book during several summers, with a last return visit in 1968.The 'Camas' Indians of today are in a situation not unlike that of minority groups all over the world, who are searching for their identity." - dust jacket. 224 pages. Index. Small address label upon front free endpaper. Book tight and unmarked with average wear. Above-average wear to dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A sound copy of this informative study. ; 8vo .
