The early history and culture of these communities is reconstructed from the accounts of explorers, travelers, and the early writings of the Methodist missionaries at Wascopam, in particular the papers of Reverend Henry Perkins. Boyd covers early nineteenth century cultural geography, subsistence, economy, social structure, life-cycle rituals, and religion. <i>People of The Dalles</i> also details the changes that occurred to these people's traditional life-ways, including their relationship with Methodism following the devastating epidemics of the early 1830s. Today, descendants of the Chinookan and Sahaptin peoples are enrolled in the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and the Yakama Nation.</div> 1189932 1 11 2004 People of The Dalles: The Indians of Wascopam Mission (Studies in the Anthropology of North Ame) total:1|5:0|4:0|3:1|2:0|1:0| 1 3 1 1 1201773 0803262329 9780803262324 1 1 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181838835m/1201773.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1201773.People_of_The_Dalles_The_Indians_of_Wascopam_Mission 3 0 false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2011 Mon Sep 28 17:31:43 -0700 2009 Sat Dec 05 11:50:49 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1201773
