Zusammenfassung: | The Nuu-Chah-Nulth collection covers a period from about 1780 to 1990. The various works making up this collection are roughly divided between the northern, central, and southern Nuu-Chah-Nulth tribes of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, and the Makah, a subgroup living on the Olympic Peninsula at Neah Bay, Washington State in the United States. Major studies in this collection are: Drucker, Colson, Swan, Koppert, Sapir and Swadesh, Arima and Dewhirst, and Reniker and Gunther. Other ethnographic topics discussed in this collection are: the girl's puberty ceremony and potlatch in Sapir; Makah games in Dorsey; an analysis of the Nuu-Chah-Nulth wolf ritual in Ernst; changing marriage patterns over a one hundred year period (1860-1960), in Gunther, and an account of a modern (ca.1970s) Nuku-Chah-Nulth community (Vancouver Island) in historical perspective in Kenyon |
