Extract

Serious anthropological work on the Northwest Coast of North America began with Boas in 1886, and through Boas’s influence a knowledge of the Northwest Coast became a part of the professional equipment of the whole generation of anthropologists that followed him. Native cultures of the Northwest Coast became famous for their colour and drama and provided wonderful material for the refuting of easy generalizations about “primitive” peoples, about their mythology, art, social organization, and economy. Northwest Coast examples continue to appear in the most recent textbooks.
