内容説明
"People of The Dalles" is a historical ethnography of the Chinookan (Wasco-Wishram) and Sahaptin peoples of The Dalles area of the Columbia River (ancestors to peoples now located on the Warm Springs and Yakama reservations) between about 1805 and 1848. The book begins with early historical background reconstructed from the accounts of explorers and travelers, then presents the human geography, subsistence and economics, social structure, life-cycle rituals, and aboriginal religion of these peoples. This is followed by chapters on cultural and religious change and a summary chapter on the effect on the Indians of the Methodist Mission. Much of the material on which the book is based is taken from the writings of the Methodist missionaries at Wascopam, in particular from the papers of the Reverend Henry Perkins, who was stationed there from 1838 to 1844. Perkins and his fellow missionaries lived among the Indians at The Dalles during a crucial period, shortly after the devastating mortalities caused by the epidemics of the early 1830s and just before the equally wrenching wars and removals of the 1850s.
Appendices to the volume include Perkins's major writings on the Wascopam Mission, a list of sources of material relating to the mission, and brief biographical sketches of mission personnel and Indians whose names appear frequently in the historical record. Robert Boyd has published several articles on Pacific Northwest Indian ethnohistory.
