by John R. Swanton (Author), Franz Boas (Author)

Haida Songs V3; Tsimshian Texts is a book written by John R. Swanton and published in 1912. The book is a collection of traditional songs and texts from the Haida and Tsimshian indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America. The songs and texts were recorded by Swanton during his fieldwork in the early 20th century and include stories, myths, and histories of these cultures. The book is divided into two sections, with the first section containing the Haida songs and the second section containing the Tsimshian texts. The songs and texts are presented in their original language, with English translations provided alongside. The book provides a valuable insight into the cultural traditions and practices of these indigenous peoples and is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Pacific Northwest Coast indigenous cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
