Queesto, Pacheenaht Chief by birthright / Copy 2

"Thought to be the last of the pelagic seal hunters - having accompanied his father on a sealing expedition to the Bering Sea at the turn of the century - Chief Charles Jones is the hereditary Chief of the Pacheenaht people of Vancouver Island's west coast. Born in 1876, Charlie Jones is one of the few remaining B.C. Indian people who has lived through the transition from the traditional Indian to the modern Canadian way of life. In this memoire, compiled in co-operation with well-know American film producer and animator Stephen Bosustow, he relives for the reader the fascinating odyssey of his people."--pub. desc.
