It focuses on the lives and work of two extraordinary ethnographers, James Teit and Franz Boas, with the common goal of understanding and documenting the languages and rich cultural knowledge of Salishan and other Indigenous peoples of British Columbia. The insights about these men, their dedication, and their contributions to humanity shine through in their words, as does their remarkable friendship.”-Nancy J.

James Teit, a prolific yet lesser-known ethnographer, provided voluminous information from the field, directly to Boas. . . . Most impressive is [the book’s] ability to respectfully differentiate the gifts of these two scholars. In aligning them, this work sheds new light on the complexities of early twentieth-century academic studies of Indigenous people.”-Eileen Delehanty Pearkes, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Geography of Memory\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Franz Boas Papers, Volume 2\u003c\/i\u003e explores the development of the ethnography of Salishan-speaking societies on the North American Plateau as revealed through the correspondence between Franz Boas and the Scottish-born James Teit, who married into an Interior Salish family and community and became fluent in the Nlaka’pamux language. The letters between Teit (1864–1922) and Boas (1858–1942) chronicle Teit’s varied career as an ethnographer, from shortly after his initial meeting with Boas in 1894 until Teit’s death at the age of fifty-eight. A postscript documents Boas’s contribution to Teit’s legacy through the posthumous publication of the manuscripts Teit left unfinished at his death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Teit made significant contributions to ethnography and the history of southern British Columbia through his photography of the people with whom he worked, his contributions to ethnomusicology and ethnobotany, his anthologies of mythic narrative, and his collections of Interior Salish-primarily Nlaka’pamux-material culture. In addition to collaborating with Boas in the development of Interior Salish ethnography, between 1909 and 1922 Teit worked to support Indigenous groups in British Columbia who were seeking recognition of Aboriginal title and resolution of their outstanding land claims.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Franz Boas Papers, Volume 2\u003c\/i\u003e meticulously tracks the impact of the differing career trajectories of Teit and Boas on the primary product of their collaboration-the initial development of the ethnography of societies speaking Interior Salish languages. This second volume of the Franz Boas Papers Documentary Edition is an essential primary source of archival materials for research libraries and for students and scholars of Northwest Coast and Interior Mountain West ethnohistory, Native American and Indigenous studies, history of anthropology, and modern U.S. history. It is also an essential source for Indigenous and settler descendant communities.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52600262754584,"sku":"9781496235718","price":71.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-franz-boas-papers-volume-2-franz-boas-james-teit-and-early-twentieth-century-salish-ethnography-hardback-9781496235718","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
