These books and articles were used during the course of planning, researching and writing this project. A solid bibliography is the basis of any thorough research, but in the case of the Voices of the Snuneymuxw project, our most important sources were members of the Snuneymuxw community. Our conversations with them were used together with what archaeologists, art historians, anthropologists, botanists and ethnographers wrote. We sought out maps and photographs, video and sound recordings, newsletters and the stories of the Elders.
