Abstract
This monograph is an account of a modern West Coast Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) Indian community in historical perspective. Contemporary settlement patterns, house styles, economic occupations, social organization, political developments and ceremonial activities are analyzed against a background of how these forms have evolved, especially during the twentieth century. It is shown that while there has been substantial innovation in terms of material culture, technology and political institutions, there had been a great deal of continuity in the types of social interaction observed, and the values and ideals shared in the community (p. vi).
