A Stó:lō-Coast Salish historical atlas

"The content in this atlas spans 15,000 years of natural, cultural and spiritual history, from the last great glaciation to the twenty-first century. New evidence and fresh academic insight combined with the traditional cultural teachings of a Coast Salish community--the Stó:lō of the lower Fraser River in southwestern British Columbia and northwestern Washington--provide a unique perspective on such diverse subjects as: the origins of the people and the landscape [....]; the relationship between Coast Salish spiritual beliefs and contemporary land management; pre-contact fortifications and warfare [...]; the expression and history of Stó:lō and Coast Salish identity [...]; the previously unexplored theme of historic-era population movement; architectural history; Stó:lō systems of justice; how spatial analysis informs the study of hop yards, salmon canneries and residential schools; the reinterpretation of Stó:lō historical demographics."--Front flap of jacket
