This book is a reprint of a now classic text dealing with Wolcott's
dissertation topic on the study of a Kwakiutl Indian village and
the one-room school he taught at Village Island in the Alert Bay
region of British Columbia. Within the book, Wolcott's interest in
anthropology and training as an educator are blended together to
present a unique look into the educational training of Indian
children. Village life and the social environment from which young
Indian children learn cultural conventions are skillfully
contrasted with the formal, structured educational system-of which
Wolcott as a teacher is part of-within the village. In showing
these two opposing educational systems, the author is able to
highlight problems that arise and additionally the issues which
come from an ethnographer being involved in a situation more than
through just observation.
