"The First Nations of the Northwest Coast were blessed with a mild climate, waters teeming with fish, and abundant vegetation, including giant cedars, among the world's tallest and most versatile of tress. From Oregon up the Canadian coast to southeastern Alaska, using only small handmade tools, these people felled the massive trees, transported them back to their villages, and build spectacular art-embellished wooden dwellings." -- back cover.
