Book Description
An imposing geologic feature that once provided a variety of natural resources for the indigenous people who lived nearby, the sheer size of Mount Rainier prompted many to call it simply The Mountain, or "Takhoma." The volcanic cone towers to 14,410 feet and comprises about one-fourth of the 377-square-mile national park. The area's formidable physical characteristics had long impeded modern anthropological research. In 1963, when faculty at Washington State University decided to explore the locality's prehistory under contract with the National Park Service, its archaeological past was virtually unknown. Combining an exhaustive search of pre-existing data and literature with a field study comprised of interviewing elderly Native Americans, Allan Smith sought to ascertain the locations of possible archaeological sites in the national park, and secure data to assist in their interpretation. Takhoma: Ethnography of Mount Rainier National Park presents the analysis of the collected and recovered material addressing native toponymy, tribal identities and boundaries, camp sites and structures, aboriginal economic and other uses of the region, and native trails, travel, and trade. This informative investigation served as a valuable first step toward unraveling the cultural past of Mount Rainier National Park. Book jacket.
