Brief characterisations of the tribes provide information about tribal language, alternative names, house styles, diet, populations at certain dates, contacts with white explorers and traders, treaties, claims against the government of the United States, leading personalities and significant migrations and settlements. The section of the book which deals with the pronunciation of Pacific Northwest tribal names is supplied by M. Dale Kinkade.
