WE-GYET Wanders On: Legends Of The Northwest.

Hazleton: Kitanmax School of the Northwest Coast Art, 1977. LARGE PAPER COPY. Hardcover. 77pp. LIMITED EDITION. 39/300 copies. Text illustrations throughout. 26 full page plates in colour, one in b/w and one map of the Kasan district. Metal medallion inset on cover. Signed on the colophon by most of the participants. Very fine. The legends collected here are the ancient stories of the people of Ksan who have lived in northern British Columbia for over six thousand years. We-Gyet is the essence of every man's frailties exaggerated into gentle humour or ribald laughter. His adventures always end in disaster. His blunders and tricks changed the face of the earth, and the shapes of many of earth's creatures. We-Gyet was a creator-by accident. This book was later printed in a trade paperback version by Hancock Press, but lacks the above colour prints.
