description: This oversize (10.5x15) atlas is an ambitious in-depth presentation of 15,000 years of natural, cultural, and spiritual history of the Coast Salish people from the last great glaciation to the 21st century. Along with the text is an abundance of historic maps, original cartographic representations, photographs, and artwork. The diversity of the contributors is reflected in the wide range of topics and the descriptive, interpretive, and theoretical approaches; and much of the new analysis presented is attributable to cooperative efforts of native and non-native investigators. An exhaustive compilation of Halq'emeylem place names, with accompanying explanatory text and translations is included. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
