Becoming Tsimshian: The Social Life of Names - Becoming Tsimshian
Christopher F. Roth
The Tsimshian people of coastal British Columbia use a system of hereditary name-titles in which names are treated as objects of inheritable wealth. This book examines the way in which names link members of a lineage to a past and to the places where that past unfolded.
