Example text
A large net strung across the mouth of the Nitinat Narrows, at the Ditidaht village of Whyac, was particularly effective, yielding hundreds of ducks at each use (Turner et al. 1983:131). As the weather improved, groups that owned outside village locations dispersed there to fish for halibut and cod and to hunt sea mammals (Drucker 1951:48; Calvert 1980:83; Arima and Dewhirst 1990:394). Halibut were taken on U-shaped hooks of dense wood, usually baited with octopus tentacle, that were sunk to the ocean floor.
At all other archaeological sites, factors of preservation have removed most of the material culture that once existed, leaving only such remnants as sharpened slivers of bone that were once parts of composite fishing gear. Although ethnographic studies have provided a fairly detailed picture of traditional Nuu-chah-nulth culture, they have to be used with caution. Numerous differences existed between the various Nuu-chah-nulth, Ditidaht, and Makah communities, and even between families in the same village.
In their historic reduction by warfare and disease, the Toquaht illustrate processes that affected the broader Nuu-chah-nulth world. 2 Differing Approaches to the Nuu-chah-nulth Past A considerable body of ethnohistoric and ethnographic data documents the recent Nuu-chah-nulth past. For earlier periods, however, the record is comparatively meagre. Archaeological research came late to the Nuu-chahnulth area and even now provides only an incomplete picture. Many earlier studies relied on comparative analyses of ethnographic traits in order to place the Nuu-chah-nulth within broad models of the emergence of Northwest Coast cultures.
