Editorial Reviews

Stearns has developed a solid ethnographic and ethnohistoric study of change. There are no striking conclusions about the congruity of modern Haida life with their traditional culture. The strength of the book is her insightful and careful integration of ethnographic field data and ethnohistoric documents.
