Pauline Johnson. The book features tales of the region's natural wonders, such as the mountains, rivers, and forests, as well as stories of the people who inhabited the area before the arrival of European settlers. Through these stories, readers gain insight into the rich cultural heritage of the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest, and the deep connection they have to the land. The book is a celebration of the region's natural beauty and the wisdom of its Indigenous peoples, and offers a unique perspective on the history and culture of the Pacific Northwest.1922. With decorations by J.E.H. MacDonald. From the Author's (E. Pauline Johnson [Tekahionwake]) Foreword: These legends (with two or three exceptions) were told to me personally by my honored friend, the late Chief Joe Capilano, of Vancouver, whom I had the privilege of first meeting in London in 1906, when he visited England and was received at Buckingham Palace by their Majesties King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. To the fact that I was able to greet Chief Capilano in the Chinook tongue, while we were both many thousands of miles from home, I owe the friendship and the confidence which he so freely gave me when I came to reside on the Pacific coast. These legends he told me from time to time, just as the mood possessed him, and he frequently remarked that they had never been revealed to any other English-speaking person save myself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
