What reading level is Slate Mirrors of the Tsimshian book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
FORM AND MATERIAL 15 The two mirrors from the Kitikshan of the upper Skeena are of a hard, black slate, quite different from that of the Nishka specimens. PL iv exhibits one which, in size and shape, is similar to the mirrors of the Xishka, but the upper and lower edges are curved, a difference noticeable in all the specimens from the interior. It is polished on both faces, incised with cross-lines on one side of the handle, and notched along the upper edge.
PI. V represents what is possibly th...e most interesting mirror of all, by reason of its symmetry and its peculiarly notched neck, together with the slight history associated with it. It was the property of an old shaman originally of the Kuldo band, but who, after this (the farthest inland of all the Skeena villages) had been abandoned, settled at Kispiox. He said that the mirror had been dug up on the old village-site and handed down through generations in his family. At that time nothing could induce him to part with it, and it was only in later AND MONOGRAPHS 16 SLATE MIRRORS Fig.
