The days of Augusta / Mary Augusta Tappage Evans ; edited by Jean E. Speare ; photography by Robert Keziere. by Evans, Augusta, 1888-1978. Harbour Publishing, 1973. Call #: 971.100497 E92d Subjects Evans, Augusta, 1888-1978.   First Nations women -- British Columbia -- Biography.   Indigenous women -- British Columbia -- Biography. ISBN:  9781990776489 (pbk) Description:  80 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Summary:  "Hailed as a contemporary classic of oral literature, The Days of Augusta is Shuswap elder Augusta Evans’ memories of a lifetime that spanned from 1888 to 1978. Accompanied by Robert Keziere’s intimate photographs, Augusta’s rhythmic prose reads like poetry. She depicts with strength and eloquence her own story -- her days at the Mission School, making baskets and catching salmon, the pain of giving birth and the death of a son -- as well as the legends and stories of events told to her -- a stagecoach robbery, a woman who was the prisoner of a bear. First printed in 1973, Augusta’s story continues to be a fascinating glimpse into the past, with throughlines to the present."--Publisher. Genre:  Autobiographies. Oral histories.
