Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | "Recording their story describes the life of James Teit, one of Canada's first ethnographers, and his work among the Tahltan people of northern British Columbia almost a century ago. Under difficult conditions in the field, he did invaluable work by collecting artifacts, taking photographs, recording songs, transcribing myths and gathering information about social organization, ceremonial life, customs and beliefs. Today, this collection is the most important extant assemblage of Tahltan heritage materials. "In this book, which is part biography and part catalogue of the Tahltan ethnographic collection, Judy Thompson explains how the various threads of James Teit's life and work came together to result in his final major ethnographic study, drawing on extensive correspondence as well as Teit's own fieldwork notebooks, diaries and manuscripts. The book is illustrated throughout with 71 rare historic photographs, 51 beautiful colour images of ethnographic artifacts, 6 line drawings and 3 maps."--BOOK JACKET |
