The Native American shelf gathers the public texts, source dossiers, and support pages currently held under this tradition room. Use this page as a doorway into the shelf rather than as a complete history of the tradition.

Nation-Specific Rooms

• Haida — Begin with the introduction, then use the reader's guide to enter the complete historical English reader of Haida Texts and Myths. Fourteen of its seventy-two units print Haida; the other fifty-eight are English-only in the 1905 edition, so the work is a partial-bilingual Haida witness rather than full source-language coverage.
