Tsimshian Texts

Franz Boas

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The texts are in the Nass River dialect of the Tsimshian language. The dialect is called by the natives nisqa'e. The texts were obtained from four individuals - Philip, Moses, Chief Mountain, and Moody. By far the greater number of them are myths of the tribe. Judging from similar myths which I collected in previous years among the Tsim shian proper,2 they are only moderately well told.
