 American
Indians of the Pacific Northwest Digital Collection from the
University of Washington Libraries Digital Collections
"This site provides an extensive digital collection of original photographs
and documents about the Northwest Coast and Plateau Indian cultures, complemented
by essays written by anthropologists, historians, and teachers about both particular
tribes and cross-cultural topics. These cultures have occupied, and in some cases
still live in parts of Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and
Montana. ... The digital databases includes over 2,300 original photographs as
well as over 3,800 pages from the Annual Reports of the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs to the Secretary of the Interior from 1851 to 1908 and six Indian treaties
negotiated in 1855. Secondary sources include 89 articles from the Pacific Northwest
Quarterly and 23 University of Washington publications in Anthropology." (from

"The Horse in Blackfoot Indian Culture is a remarkable blending of two different
approaches to the study of culture. On the one hand it is a detailed technological
study, harkening back to classic studies of the late 19th and early 20th century;
on the other it is a nuanced analysis of social differentiation and class structure,
reflecting interests that would engage anthropologists for decades to come." (from web site)
