Folk-Tales of the Coast Salish

First published in 1934, this collection of tales was recorded and edited by Thelma Adamson (1901-1983), a student of Franz Boas and one of the first women to conduct ethnographic fieldwork in the Pacific Northwest. A major contribution to our knowledge of western Washington Salish oral traditions, Folk-Tales of the Coast Salish contains 190 texts from nineteen consultants.
