"This perspective is perhaps the closest that European scholarship can come to tribal accounts of the past, based on particular landscapes and particular successions of ancestors. And in one important way the early European reports complement tribal tradition, for they dwell on those physical aspects of life - houses, clothing, canoes, ornaments and weapons - that rarely if ever are described in the oral histories." - from the Foreword by Anne Salmond.
