I used to be passionate about NorthWest Pacific First Nations art and culture. I have ~80 books surrounding it. I also used to dig the beatniks. The two are mostly unrelated.

Gary Snyder wrote "He Who Hunted Birds in His Father's Village: The Dimensions of a Haida Myth" (1979).

It's interesting-ish, though not the most engaging. You might appreciate some of the ideas. I could mail the short book if you're seriously curious, though I don't know if it'd be worth the bother. It's not a great book, not new or unique, but it's not entirely without merit either.

I've never heard of Gary Snyder. I am mildly interested, but not to the point of having you mail me anything. The internet often has these things hidden somewhere on it, and if it doesn't, well I've found good local places (don't even need to wear a mask!) to order books from. Thank you.

On The Road was Kerouac's most famous but I like Dharma Bums better, with the main guy based on Gary. I was in my teens or twenties reading that.

The book is not long, perhaps in PDF somewhere. I wouldn't even bother reading it. Certainly not ground breaking anymore. However, you might want to read reviews or what others have said - if there's even Internet-age content of that sort.
