Description

"Singing to the sound reveals troubled waters - from the Makah whale hunt to the feared, extinction of Northwest salmon. Peterson unravels the complexities of the highly controversial Makah whale hunt - the first off U.S. mainland shores in nearly a century. As mediator and reporter of this international story for five years. Peterson now writes as historian with an eye for the future of both people and whales. She moves beyond the polarized view of "Indians versus environmentalists" to portray a multifaceted, human drama with no easy answers to a story that is still unfolding."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
