Description

The first book-length study of whether cannibalism existed on the Pacific Northwest coast. McDowell shows how a cannibal complex among Westerners coloured many early accounts of man-eating, and how this perception obscured the importance of ritual cannibalism in the secret Hamatsa ceremony–a crucial feature of Native spirituality.
