| Scope and content | File contains a photocopy of Archer's article "Cannibalism in the Early History of the Northwest Coast: Enduring Myths and Neglected Realities" from the Canadian Historical Review 61 (4), 1980, page 453 to 479. Archer examines the myths developed by the early explorers of the Northwest coast who perhaps labeled the Haida and others as cannibals based only on popular narratives of "savage" races. He argues they developed their own myths through repeated telling of tales. The purpose was to sell books and deter competitors. Some myths persist despite the effort of anthropologists and archeologists. | |
