Product Description
Product Description
The Haida are a proud and cultured people, whose home is Haida Gwaii (the Queen Charlotte Islands) off the coast of Northern British Columbia. Until the first Europeans arrived in 1775, the Haida were the lords of the coast. The meeting of cultures was a fateful one: the Europeans had the advantages of firearms and immunity to their own deadly diseases. In just 150 years, the Haida and their culture were pushed to the edge of extinction.
In Raven's Cry, Christie Harris recreates this tale of tragedy and the ultimate survival of native spirit with dignity, beauty and ethnographic accuracy.

2.0 out of 5 stars
far too long to wait, Feb 14 2011
By Bola - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book took far too long to get to Canada. Why that should be I do not know.I had left the country before it came and had to organise a colleague to pick it up from old address and had the expense of sending to to Australia after that.
So the book that cost me 1c cost about $18 to get it to Canada late and $36 to get it to Australia
Also it transpires it is an old Library book with withdrawn all over first page.
I AM glad to have a copy of this book but could have bough a good copy in Canada for the price of the double postage so therefore am not really impressed with this whole deal.
They could have told me about the wait at the outset which would have allowed me to have it send DIRECTLY to Australia
