DM> It's a fairly large school, (5-6000 students possibly). However, I
DM> don't recall seeing too many books on the northwestern peoples.
Again, be sure you're looking in the Anthropology section, not History.
DM> Wouldn't it be fun to learn more about them though?
Actually, I think it's more interesting to learn about the Native Americans
where I _live_, not where I was _born_. That's why my area of interest is
the Pacific Northwest.
The wife and I went on a three-day trip through the Olympic Pennisula. She
commented on how neat it was to have her own "personal guide" to explain
things as we went along the highway or stopped at various museums. After I
retire we plan on doing more traveling in the Pacific Northwest and I find
I get more out of it if I know something about the area and its people and
history beforehand.
DM> I'm familiar with that. Used it several times when I was taking
DM> history classes and writing papers for them. (Instructors told me
DM> I had a great feel for writing fiction about that time too. I wonder
DM> if there's and correlation.)
Could be.
