For this collection of essays, articles, and interviews about the Nuu-chah-nulth people, who live along the west coast of the Olympic Peninsula and Vancouver Island, Alan L. Hoover has assembled a balance of views from inside and outside Nuu-chah-nulth history, culture, and art. In "Voices," the Mowachaht-Muchalaht, and Huu-ay-aht nations recount their own histories, and describe who and where they are today. "Histories" offers fascinating accounts of recent history from outside the Nuu-chah-nulth culture, and ancient histories and legends from inside. "Objects" highlights the different interests of those who create objects and those who collect them. Finally, "Journeys" relates the personal and spiritual growth of three Nuu-chah-nulth artists, and how their creations speak about where they came from and where they are now. Nuu-chah-nulth Voices, Histories, Objects and Journeys is an important contribution to the understanding of a rich and complex society, and essential reading for anyone interested in Northwest Coast culture.
