A Bibliography of Northwest Coast Linguistics,

Anthropology and Archaeology

Keywords: Bella Coola, Chehalis, Chemakum, Chimakuan, Chinook, Clallam, Coeur d'Alene, Columbia Salish, Colville Okanagan, Gitskan, Haida, Haisla, Halkomelem, Heiltsuk (Bella Bella), Kalispel, Kutenai (Kootenay), Kwakiutl, Kwakwala, Lummi, Lushootseed, Makah, Nass, Nishga, Nitinaht, Nootka, Northwest Coast, Oowekyala, Puget Salish, Quileute, Quinault, Salishan, Sechelt, Shuswap, Siletz, Snohomish, Spokane, Squamish, Straits Salish, Thompson, Tillamook, Tsimshian, Twana, Wakashan, Wishram.

This bibliography was originally prepared during my days at the University of Chicago as an aid to my research. It is strongest in Linguistics and weakest in Archaeology. Many of the citations are older materials that will not show up in modern databases. I have begun updating it again albeit at a very slow rate and only as my time allows.
I have included no physical anthropology at this time. There is a small group of "Unfiled Items" at the end which are basically relevant history of a non-anthropological type. Also there are a few natural history titles which were helpful to my research.
There are no Tlingit linguistic references at this time either, I don't even remember why I did not include them originally, probably because of their close connection to Athabaskan and Eyak which languages were not included in my research.

I welcome and greatly appreciate your comments, suggestions, additions, and corrections. I am missing full information for several items, noted either by ??? or MORE INFORMATION NEEDED.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME EMAIL ASKING ME TO SEND YOU EVERYTHING I HAVE ON THE (FILL-IN-THE-BLANK) TRIBE. While I am happy to provide this list of sources, I do not own them and you will have to do your own research.

Finding materials on this list is probably easiest if you use the "Find in page" button of your browser. Its location will vary with the browser. Try your help button and see if you have one.

Acknowledgements: No bibliographer works in a vacuum. I have relied upon both my own original bibliographies and those that others prepared for their own purposes.
