This file contains a chapter titled "Some North Pacific Coast Poems: a Problem in Anthropological Philology" written by Dell Hymes from Berkeley University of California. The documents pages 316-339 focus is "upon texts from Indigenous cultures of the North Pacific Coast, from a classic period of common cause among folklore, linguistics, and ethnology in the service of a general anthropology." The paper deals with the largely neglected heritage of poetry, or of the verbal component of song.
