Hardcover. Napako, the Coahuiltecan word for "our journey," is the captivating and authentic Indigenous creation story of how people came to be on Mother Earth. Napako, Our Journey: The Coahuiltecan Creation Story and the Sacred Springs is based on the creation tale of the Coahuiltecan people who for 14,000 years have occupied the surrounding lands of what is now known as San Marcos, Texas. The book is a retelling in written words and illustrations of the oral tradition as it has been told by Indigenous storyteller Maria Rocha. As seen from a child's perspective, the main story tells of spirits who once lived in the lower world, but when they became people, they needed to live in the upper world. It follows their journey as they are guided by animal spirits to the upper world, traveling through a portal of water to live above on the surface of Mother Earth. With facts about the Coahuiltecan people, the San Marcos Springs and Spring Lake, and the animals who live in the surrounding area, Napako, Our Journey is an inspiring and educational introduction to the creation beliefs of one of the most widespread Indigenous peoples in Texas and northern Mexico. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
