Haida Songs V3; Tsimshian Texts (1912) is a book compiled by John R. Swanton. It is a collection of traditional songs and texts from the Haida and Tsimshian indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America. The book is the third volume in a series of publications that Swanton produced on the indigenous peoples of the region. The Haida section of the book includes songs and stories that were collected by Swanton during his fieldwork in the early 1900s. The songs reflect the Haida's connection to their environment, their spiritual beliefs, and their social customs. The Tsimshian section includes texts that were transcribed by Swanton from the oral traditions of the Tsimshian people. The texts include myths, legends, and historical accounts that provide insight into the Tsimshian worldview and history.The book is a valuable resource for scholars and researchers interested in the indigenous cultures of the Pacific Northwest Coast. It provides a glimpse into the rich and diverse traditions of the Haida and Tsimshian peoples, and it highlights the importance of preserving and celebrating indigenous cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
