DESCRIPTION:
"A good start." according to A Customer. Being an anthropology student, I found this book a bit of a let down. I am from the same house as Mr. Harris and I could have wrote it better. Nevertheless, it is an easy read.

Other stories tell of occurrences particularly significant in the 'history' of the people -- the origins of the 'Killer Whale' and 'Thunderbird Twtjea-adku,' and the revenge of 'Medeek,' the great bear who rose from the lake to punish people for breaking 'the law.'. These legends, translated by Chief Kenneth Harris, tell of the origin of the Native people who live in the region between the Skeena and Nass rivers of British Columbia
. Chief Kenneth Harris (translator) inherited the title Hagbegwatku, 'first-born of the nation,' from his uncle Chief Arthur McDames who recorded the tapes from which these translations have been made
