Be of Good Mind Essays on the Coast Salish

The Coast Salish peoples of western Washington and British Columbia have never been subjected to the same concerted anthropological scrutiny as have their Northwest Coast counterparts. For a long time they were viewed simply as a subset of the Northwest Coast culture area, and because they underwent assimilative pressures early on it was thought that little of their culture remained to be preserved. In the early 1950s, however, anthropologist Wayne Suttles was among the first to publish pioneering and sustained research about the Coast Salish, contending that they were worthy of study in their own right.Miller, Bruce Granville is the author of 'Be of Good Mind Essays on the Coast Salish', published 2007 under ISBN 9780774813235 and ISBN 0774813237.
