Animal-Human Contact among Northwest Coast Native Americans

Abstract

When you look at a society to which you do not belong then you can have access to only those facts about that community that are officially presented, though, you presume there is much more to it. This mystery has always attracted attention, since you suspect issues that would never be completely known by an outsider. Members of 500 indigenous nations of North America are fully aware of their culture because they were born into it. However, for those growing up in a totally different society it is more or less impossible to fully understand bits and pieces of Native American life. (Introduction)
