Excerpt from Alsea d104s and Myths The materials presented in the following volume arc based on collections made by Dr. Leo J. Frachtenberg and Prof. Livingston Farrand, now president of the University of Colorado. The inception of the work dates back to an enterprise in which the late Mr. Henry Yillard took n lively interest. From 1898 an attempt was made to study in detail the vanishing tribes of the Pacific const. While the late Mr. Collis P. Huntington and afterwards Mr. Archer M. Huntington contributed funds for this work in California, which subsequently was continued by the University of California in the able hands of Prof. Alfred L. Kroobor and Dr. Pliny Earle Goddard, Mr. Villnrd undertook to provide funds for work in Oregon. The field work at first was undertaken by Professor Farrand, who worked among the Alsea and later among the Salmptin tribes, and by Mr. Harry Hull St. Clair, 2d, who collected material among the Coos. After Mr. Villard's death the work was discontinued, but Mis. Villnrd very generously placed at our disposal funds for completing the field work among the Alsea. Tho completion of this work was directed jointly by tho Bureau of American Ethnology and Columbia University in the City of New York, and its execution was in trusted to Dr. Loo J. Frachtenberg, who collected new material, revised the collections made by Professor Farrand, and digested tho accumulated data. Our thanks arc due to Mr. and Mrs. Villnrd, whose generosity has enabled us to record the language and traditions of a people that arc on the verge of extinction.

Popular Hopi kachina dolls and awesome totem poles are but two of the aspects of the sophisticated, seldom-examined network of mythologies explored in this fascinating volume. This revealing work introduces readers to the mythologies of Native Americans from the United States to the Arctic Circle—a rich, complex, and diverse body of lore, which remains less widely known than mythologies of other peoples and places. In thematic chapters and encyclopedia-style entries, Handbook of Native American Mythology examines the characters and deities, rituals, sacred locations and objects, concepts, and stories that define and distinguish mythological cultures of various indigenous peoples. By tracing the traditions as far back as possible and following their evolution from generation to generation, Handbook of Native American Mythology offers a unique perspective on Native American history, culture, and values. It also shows how central these traditions are to contemporary Native American life, including the continuing struggle for land rights, economic parity, and repatriation of cultural property.
