Foreword by Gary Snyder. 181 pages. paperback. keywords: California Native American. DESCRIPTION - These ancient tales are specific to a people and a placethe Maidu Indian…s of northeastern Californiaand to a particular person as well. Hanc'ibyjim, who lived at the turn of the century, was the last in a long line of masterful storytellers. Decades after his death people still remembered how they used to gather from miles around to hear him tell stories in the old manner. Translated by a noted linguist with an ear for poetry, these myths and tales are now rendered accessible to anyone who loves good stories and has a capacity for laughter and wonder. In a text that interweaves the sacred with the raunchy, we read the moving and often hilarious account of how the world was created. and how the creators lived in it. u Surely one of the richest sets of old-time Turtle Island texts available. These myths and tales are unsweetened, unsentimental, and irreducible. They are a profound little chunk of world literature. from the Foreword by Gary Snyder. inventory #48203.
