A pioneer settler at Abbotsford in the Fraser Valley, he devoted many years of fieldwork to his studies of the Salish and published in the scholarly periodicals of the day. He was honoured as president of the Anthropological Section of the Royal Society of Canada and as a fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain.

Marius Barbeau tells the story of a noted English anthropologist arriving in New York in the first years of this century and asking his American colleague who met him at the pier: Where’s Hill-Tout?” This query, says Barbeau, was often repeated with a smile among New York anthropologists as characteristic of the British point of view as to the progress of American anthropology.” Ralph Maud’s introduction to this volume finally locates Hill-Tout among his peers. It reveals a man whose inner dignity is real enough, not something dependent on the opinions of others. It sees him through.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"BookDetails\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"CollapsableList\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"FeaturedDetails\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"pagesFormat\"\u003e192 pages, Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"publicationInfo\"\u003eFirst published January 1, 1978\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"publicationInfo\"\u003e257g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Terrier Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48782406516836,"sku":"9780889221512","price":13.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4869\/4628\/files\/IMG_05442.jpg?v=1784312820","url":"https:\/\/terrierbooks.com\/fr-us\/products\/the-salish-people-volume-iv-the-sechelt-and-south-eastern-tribes-of-vancouver-island-charles-hill-tout","provider":"Terrier Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
