Also part of: Mercury series (ISSN 0316-1854). Through a series of lively first-person accounts gathered between 1910 and 1923, this scholarly book creates a vivid portrait of traditional whaling practices among the Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) of Canada’s West Coast. This volume represents Part 9 of the famed Nootka texts, collected by renowned ethnologist Edward Sapir, and examines a way of life that has been the cultural focus among the Nuu-chah-nulth for millennia. From descriptions of actual hunting methods to details of the rituals which helped guarantee success, Legendary Hunters provides a fascinating look at traditional whaling from a First Peoples perspective.
