Description: Please read full description for shipping warning Alaska Native Indian Halibut Hook Tlingit Haida Tsimishian Traditional Fishing Click images to enlarge Description The Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian of Southeast Alaska devised an exceptional device, the náxw,xagw táawaay, or nuu, with which they caught halibut. Doing Battle with the Halibut People provides key information about the design, manufacture, and use of these wooden hooks and integrates the sacred dimensions of the halibut tradition.The cultural and ecological knowledge in the book came mainly from a number of expert Tlingit fishermen and traditional scholars, who generously shared the knowledge received from their fathers and grandfathers, as well as learned through their own experiences. Those individuals included Jon Rowan, Mike Douville, Robert George, Thomas George, and Webster Demmert of Klawock; Charles Jack, Thomas Jack, and Ken Grant of Hoonah; David Katzeek of Juneau (formerly of Klukwan); and Ted Valle of Yakutat. Traditional scholars who participated included Clarence Jackson and Dr. Walter Soboleff. Written by Dr. Chuck Smythe, culture and history director at Sealaska Heritage Institute, and published through the institute's Box of Knowledge series, Doing Battle with the Halibut People preserves for future generations the rich body of knowledge and tradition associated with these uniquely effective instruments.
