Field reports from nineteenth-century ethnographer Charles Hill-Tout are collected in this four-volume series, The Salish People. Volume II deals with the people of the Squamish and the Lillooet. It includes an account of the Origin Myth as told by a 100-year-old blind storyteller whose mother saw Captain Cook sail into Howe Sound in 1792. Hill-Touts asides, too, are uniquely informative.
