Description:
Legendary Hunters features twenty-eight accounts of traditional hunting life among the Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) peoples of Canada’s West Coast. Drawn from a collection of oral history gathered between 1910 and 1923, these narratives present a vivid portrait of whaling from a First Nations perspective. These accounts outline methods of hunting Humpback and Gray Whales, while also detailing the long preparatory rituals that helped guarantee success. Published in English.
