Description
"Man does not weave this web of life. He is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself."
-Seattle, Chief of Suquamish and Duwamish tribes (19th Century)
Tribes of the Extreme Northwest, and, Tribes of Western Washington and Northwestern Oregon (1877) by William Dall and George Gibbs, is the first volume of a nine-part series entitled Contributions to North American Ethnology (all available from Cosimo Classics).
