What reading level is The Tahltan Indians book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The drums are much smaller than those used by the Tlingit and some of them are very small. The instrument may be beaten with the fist, but generally an improvised drumstick is em- ployed. No regular drumstick was seen.
Etched or carved implements and utensils were further ornamented with red ochre.
Porcupine quills were dyed black by boiling in water with a powdered black stone. Red was likewise obtained from a red mineral powder. Articles were dyed yellow by boiling tree moss and steeping the ...objects in the decoction and boiling. Green was obtained from decayed wood.
The primitive ornamentation of clothing was in colored quill embroidery, but with the acquisition of trade beads this was abandoned. The oldest beadwork was made by stringing the beads on sinew; the whole piece of work was then attached to the body material. With the introduction of steel needles the cloth ground was embroidered and then sewed on the skin.
HOUSEHOLD IMPLEMENTS AND UTENSILS As previously stated, in household utensils the Tahltan were particularly poor, judging from their own accounts, and indeed little has survived their transformation, for to-day they depend entirely on what they obtain from trading stores.
