Across Time and Tundra the Inuvialuit of the Western Arctic

Vancouver BC: Canadian Museum of Civilization and Raincoast Books, 2003. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. ISBN: 1551926458. Only slight wear ; A near-fine volume in a near-fine DJ. Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector. ; 11.1 X 9.3 X 1.0 inches; 230 pages; "The Western Canadian Arctic is a cold and seemingly barren wilderness. Yet for a thousand years it has been the homeland of a rich and accomplished people who call themselves Inuvialuit, "the real people." Hunters and fishers, their lives were enhanced by great annual hunts of beluga and bowhead whales. All that changed with the arrival of American whalers in the 1890s. Decimated by disease and cultural dislocation, the Inuvialuit have successfully rebounded in the last fifty years, signing a major land claim agreement in 1984. This beautiful book is the definitive, illustrated history of one of North America's most interesting and least known Native people. Across Time and Tundra features over 120 B&W and colour images, including many rare archival photos and exquisite works of art. The text includes traditional Inuvialuit stories and elders' remembrances of life long ago.". Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket .

Stanley Park's Secret the Forgotten Families of Whoi Whoi, Kanaka Ranch and Brockton Point

Madeira Park, BC: Harbour Publishing, 2005. First Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 1550173464. Boards and DJ show light shelf wear, DJ has a horizontal scratch line across the back with 1/2" sliver of material missing.; A bright, solid book. Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector. ; 9.1 X 6.2 X 1.1 inches; 279 pages; Officially opened in 1888, Stanley Park was born alongside the city of Vancouver, so it is easy to assume that the park was a pristine wilderness when it was first created. But much of it had been logged and it was home to a number of settlements. Aboriginal people lived at the villages of Whoi Whoi, now Lumberman's Arch, and nearby Chaythoos. Some of the immigrant Hawaiians earlier employed in the fur trade took jobs at the lumber mills that dotted Burrard Inlet from the 1860s and settled at "Kanaka Ranch," which was located just outside the park's southeast boundary. Others resided at Brockton Point on the peninsula's eastern tip. Only in 1958 was the last of the many families forced out of their homes and the park returned to its supposed "pristine" character. Working in collaboration with descendants of the families who once lived in the park area, historian Jean Barman skilfully weaves together the families' stories with archival documents, Vancouver Parks Board records and court proceedings to reveal a troubling, yet deeply important facet of BC's history..

Out of the Mist Treasures of the Nuu-Chah

Victoria, BC: The Royal British Columbia Museum, 1999. First Edition. Softcover. ISBN: 077189547X. Only slight wear to the card covers ; A near-fine volume without creasing or soiling. ; Native Studies/Art; 10.8 X 9.0 X 0.5 inches; 160 pages; "Out of the Mist celebrates the art, culture and history of the Nuu-chah-nulth nations. It features the material culture, including many major art pieces of the richly complex societies along the west coast of Vancouver Island and the Olympic Peninsula. With the help of many Nuu-chah-nulth voices, Martha Black places the objects in context with the cultures and histories of the people who created them. HuupuKwanum and Tupaat are Nuu-chah-nulth words that designate everything a chief owns, including hereditary names and songs, objects, dances, rights and privileges, lands, and resources. These concepts introduce non-Indigenous people to the profound philosophical, spiritual and personal connections that these objects have always had within Nuu-chah-nulth communities.". Very Good+ .
