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.". Seller Inventory # 10158
