The cannibal spirit  Cover Image Book Book

The cannibal spirit

Summary: George Hunt has a white father and a native mother. A shaman and chieftain among his people, the Kwagiulth, helplessly he has watched them die--from disease, warfare, alcohol, despair--as their world is besieged by the arrival of the twentieth century and the encroachments of the young country called Canada. Yet he is also an assistant to the famed anthropologist Franz Boas, and a collector of native artefacts for the white man's museums. He inhabits both worlds, looking in and looking out, at peace in neither. Based on the life of the real historical figure George Hunt.
