From the back cover: "TEACHING OF THE TIDES is a unique combination of science and mythology. It catalogues over fifty species of marine invertebrates, insects, reptiles, and amphibians found on the western shores of Vancouver Island. The Manhousat methods of retrieving, preparing, cooking and preserving these specimens are recorded in simple, understandable language while a Manhousat elder's frank insight and environmental knowledge greatly enhances the scientific data. This is a comprehensive guide, although light and easy to read, in which zoology is reflected through the eyes of a native Canadian elder."CONTENTS: Table of Illustrations; List of Manhousat Place Names; Introduction; Chapter One: Marine Invertebrates; Chapter Two: Implements Used in the Harvesting of Edible Marine Invertebrates; Chapter Three: Seasonal Utilization of Edible Marine Invertebrates; Chapter Four: Locations for Harvdsting Edible Marine Invertebrates; Chapter Five: Insects and Other Invertebrates; Chapter Six: Reptiles and Amphibians; Chapter Seven: Supernatural Creatures (Sea Serpent); Acknowledgements; References
