What reading level is Among the An Ko Me Nums Or Flathead Tribes of Indians of the Pacific Coast book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The An-ko-me-nums, like most of the Indians of British Columbia, were spirit worshippers. First of all, they believed in a great Chief Spirit, who created all things and was all-wise and all-powerful, and ruled over them for good, but who was not actively concerned for them, and whom they never called upon except in cases of great difficulty or distress.
Then they believed in a multitude of lesser spirits, who were in most cases evilly disposed towards them. These inhabited certain mountains ...and head- lands and rocky, dangerous points, around which the waves raged and tossed their frail canoes, and sometimes upset them. A swirling eddy, a danger- ous rapid, a lonely lake in the mountains, a steep precipice where perhaps at some time or other one 112 NATIVE WORSHIP AND SUPERSTITIONS of their people had met with disaster and possibly death, was the abode of a " Stlaw-la-kum, " or evil spirit.
They prayed a great deal to the sun, to the moon, to the Great Being who gave them all the fish and food, or to the spirit whom they believed might be responsible for any impending danger.
