Tsimshian Culture - A Light through the Ages (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days

The Tsimshians are a Northwest Coast Native people known for their
dazzling works of art and rich array of social, religious, and oral
traditions that have captured the attention of scholars for over a
century. Jay Miller brings together for the first time a wealth of
material about the Tsimshians, presenting an unforgettable picture
of their cultural universe. That universe is built around the
metaphor of light, which was brought into the world by Raven; its
refraction forms the chief social, religious, and symbolic
institutions of Tsimshian culture. Family heraldic crests express
light in one way, masks in another. Miller argues convincingly that
the genius of Tsimshian culture, and one of the main reasons for
its continuing vitality, is that its people are sensitive to
different, and often creative, ways of capturing and embodying
light.
