This extremely detailed anthropological work is dense but still quite readable to a non academic like myself. If you wish to know what Puget Sound natives lived like before our European-American pioneers arrived and took over (occupied) their land, this is the book you should read. She must have been very good at setting her native informants at ease because she managed to learn an amazing collection of lifeways and beliefs. From burial customs to food to warfare and menstruation: it's all there. I expect the current cohort of these tribes are grateful to this author for helping to preserve their traditions.
