There are a number of sources concerning the Salish peoples. Among these are Wayne Suttles’s Coast Salish Essays (Vancouver, 1987). The Handbook of North American Indians, volume 7(Washington, D.C., 1990) , edited by Suttles, contains chapters on social organization, history, and religion. Joanne Drake-Terry has written an insider’s account of Interior Salish history, The Same as Yesterday: A Lillooet Chronicle of the Theft of Their Lands and Resources
(Lillooet, B.C., 1989). Similarly, the research staff of the Sto:lo Nation has produced You Are Asked to Witness: The Sto:lo in Canada’s Pacific Coast History (Chilliwack, B.C., 1997), edited by Keith Carlson. Wilson Duff and Wayne Suttles authored the jointly published Katzie Ethnographic Notes/The Faith of a Coast Salish Indian (Victoria, 1955); the second part of this volume, a reissue of a work by Diamond Jenness, tells the story of a Salish “transformer” along the Fraser River. Our Tellings: Interior Salish Stories of the Nlha’kapmx People (Vancouver, 1995) is compiled by Darwin Hanna and Mamie Henry. Hilary Stewart’s Indian Fishing: Early Methods on the Northwest Coast
(Vancouver, 1977) contains excellent visuals. Paul Tennant’s Aboriginal Peoples and Politics: The Indian Land Question in British Columbia, 1849–1989 (Vancouver, 1990) describes the political activities of Coastal and Interior Salish. James Teit’s 1900 classic, The Thompson Indians of British Columbia, originally published in 1900, was reprinted in New York in 1975, as was his 1909 The Shuswap. Wendy Wickwire and elder Harry Robinson produced Write It on Your Heart: The Epic World of an Okanagan Storyteller (Vancouver, 1989).
