Smoke from their fires : the life of a Kwakiutl chief

"Written prior to an era when academics were self-censored by political correctness, Smoke from Their Fires: The Life of a Kwakiutl Chief (1941) is a refreshingly frank and classic autobiography of Kwakiutl Chief Charles James Nowell, co-produced with Clellan S. Ford of Yale University, when Nowell was age seventy. Based on interviews conducted in 1940, Smoke from Their Fires includes a 40-page introduction to Kwakiutl culture and some very candid comments from Nowell about sexual behaviour and family customs such as child care. Drawings of a grizzly bear and a killer whale were contributed by Alfred Shaughnessy from Kingcome.
