Excerpt from Up and Down the North Pacific Coast by Canoe and Mission Ship The following annals are from sparse notes and from memory, supplemented by various missionary records; and although I feel free to claim them to be correct, yet I am sure that if any defect be observed, my readers will readily overlook it. Not writing books but working for the spread of the Gospel among benighted peoples and striving to extend the influence of the Kingdom of Christ in the hearts of my fellow men have been my occupation and object.

"This Elusive Land provides an introduction to the literature about women and the environment in Canada. It looks at the ways in which women integrate the social and biophysical settings of their lives, and features a range of contexts in which gender mediates, inspires, and informs a sense of belonging to and in this land. Drawing from geographical, historical, and cultural perspectives, the volume reveals the significance of women's experiences in various landscapes."--Jacket.

Long known as the Cannibal Dance, the Hamat̓sa is among the most important hereditary prerogatives of the Kwakwa̱ka̱ꞌwakw of British Columbia. Drawing on published texts, extensive archival research, and fieldwork, Writing the Hamat̓sa offers a critical survey of attempts to record, interpret, and prohibit the ceremony. Such textual mediation and Indigenous response over four centures helped transform the Hamat̓sa from a set of specific practices. into a generalized cultural icon. This meticulous work illuminates how Indigenous people contribute to, contest, and repurpose texts in the process of fashioning modern identities under settler colonialism.
