Pages not numbered; 30 pages. " In 1911, when a lone California Indian walked out of hiding in the hills, ethnographers and anthropologists had one chance to study the culture of the Yahi people. Ishi was the only living member of his tribe; his family had been killed by whites for their scalps. Although it is arguable that the scientists exploited him, they did record a treasure trove of cultural information, including traditional stories of his people, some of which have been translated here for children. This picture book is a composite of stories about Lizard: how he makes arrows, saves his friend from a hungry bear, and leads a group of Dwarf women in a dance. The oral nature of these tales has been honored in this scholarly translation; lines repeat as a refrain, and the rhythm of the language is strong.". Codice articolo 10158

Cover is off white with blind stamped title on front; tan spine with black lettering on spine. Burgundy, textured endpapers. Pages are clean and tight; this is a NEW book. Illustrated with colorful, evocative drawings. Translated by Leanne Hinton. "Ishi was a member of the Yahi tribe.who lived in northern California for thousands of years before the first miners struck gold. As white men began to claim the land for themselves, they killed most of the Yahis: Ishi and his few remaining relatives were forced to go into hiding. For more than 40 years, they carried on their traditional way of life in the wilderness, avoiding contact with the white man's world. Then in 1911 Ishi--the last surviving member of his tribe--came out of hiding and was eventually offered shelter in a museum in San Francisco. There, in his native language, Ishi told anthropologists about his life in the wilderness, as well as the stories of his people. 'The Tale of Lizard' was a story that had been passed along orally for countless generations and Ishi first heard it when he was a young boy.
