Kathlamet Texts

Kathlamet Texts is a book written by Franz Boas, a renowned anthropologist and linguist, which documents the language and culture of the Kathlamet people, a Native American tribe that inhabited the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The book contains a collection of texts, including myths, legends, songs, and personal narratives, that were recorded by Boas during his fieldwork in the region in the late 19th century. The texts are presented in the original Kathlamet language, as well as in English translation, and are accompanied by detailed linguistic and cultural analysis. The book provides valuable insights into the traditional way of life, beliefs, and practices of the Kathlamet people, as well as their language, which is now extinct. Overall, Kathlamet Texts is an important contribution to the study of Native American languages and cultures, and a valuable resource for linguists, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the history and diversity of human languages.A Collection Of 33 Myths And Folk Tales, Mainly In The Kathlamet Dialect Of The Upper Chinook Language, Spoken In The State Of Washington With The Native Text And Corresponding English Included.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
