Peace Weavers: Uniting the Salish Coast Through Cross-Cultural Marriages

This study looks at marriages between Native American Salish women and white pioneer men in Puget Sound in the 1800s, showing how these cross-cultural marriages contributed to peace between whites and Natives in the region. The book draws on primary and secondary sources, as well as interviews with four real-life women who are descendants of these intermarriages, who recall their family history handed down over generations. B&w historical photos are included. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
