Sinossi
Excerpt from The Chimariko Indians and Language
The investigation in the course of which the material was secured upon which the following account of the culture and language of the Chimariko Indians of California is based, was conducted during July and August, 1906, on behalf of the Department of Anthropology of the University of California, and, in common with the other researches of the Department, was made possible by the support of Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst. At the present time there appear to be only two living full-blood Chimariko. One of these, Doctor Tom, a half-crazy old man, proved worthless for purposes of investigation, and the bulk of the information secured was obtained from Mrs. Dyer, a failing old woman of about eighty years of age, living on lower New River. Some supplementary details were gathered from Fri day, a well-known character near the Hupa reservation, half Hupa and half Wintun by birth, but having had close affiliations with the Chimariko many years ago.
The little group of Indians to whom the name Chimariko has been given occupied a small area situated in the western portion of Trinity County, in northern California. The language spoken by the group has always been believed to differ radically from all others known, so that, unless certain resemblances discussed in the linguistic portion of this paper are accepted as establishing an affinity with the Shastan family, the Chimariko by themselves constitute an independent linguistic stock. In the small size of the area occupied, the Chimariko fall into the same class with several other stocks in California, such as the Yana and the extinct Esselen.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives and language of the Chimariko Indians of California. The author, an anthropologist, conducted fieldwork in the early 1900s, documenting the rapidly vanishing culture of this unique tribe before it was lost forever. Through meticulous detail, the author delves into the Chimariko's daily lives, exploring their material culture, social organization, and religious beliefs. He presents evidence suggesting that the Chimariko were culturally distinct from neighboring tribes such as the Hupa and the Wintun, and that their culture may have been more closely aligned with the Shasta. The book also provides a detailed examination of the Chimariko language, one that was thought to be unrelated to any other known language at the time. The author meticulously outlines the languageââ â¢s structure, grammar, and sound system, providing valuable insights into the unique features that set Chimariko apart. Through this close linguistic analysis, the author further strengthens the argument for a cultural kinship between the Chimariko and the Shasta. The bookââ â¢s insights into the Chimariko culture and language provide valuable historical and anthropological context for understanding the diversity and richness of Californiaââ â¢s Native American heritage. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
