Folktales Of Salishan And Sahaptin Tribes: Collected By James Alexander Teit, Livingston Farrand, Ma

The book ""Folktales of Salishan and Sahaptin Tribes: Collected by James Alexander Teit, Livingston Farrand, Marian K. Gould, Herbert Joseph Spinden"" is a collection of traditional stories and legends from the Salishan and Sahaptin tribes of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The tales were collected by four ethnographers, including James Alexander Teit, a prominent scholar of indigenous cultures in the early 20th century. The book was edited by Franz Boas, a pioneering anthropologist who helped establish the field of cultural anthropology in North America. The stories in the book cover a wide range of topics, including creation myths, animal fables, and tales of heroic deeds. The book provides a valuable glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of these tribes, and offers readers a chance to explore the unique worldview and traditions of these indigenous peoples. Published in 1917, the book is considered a classic of anthropological literature and remains an important resource for scholars and students of 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.
