Aboriginal slavery on the northwest coast of North America /
Donald, Leland ,author.
Leland Donald shows that Northwest Coast servitude, relatively neglected by researchers in the past, fits an appropriate cross-cultural definition of slavery. Arguing that slaves and slavery were central to these hunting-fishing-gathering societies, he points out how important slaves were to the Northwest Coast economies for their labour and for their value as major items of exchange.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
