Essays on Native California Languages and Oral Literatures --Maps --Bibliography --Acknowledgments of Permissions --IndexThis anthology of treasures from the oral literature of Native California, assembled by an editor admirably sensitive to language, culture, and history, will delight scholars and general readers alike. Herbert Luthin's generous selection of stories, anecdotes, myths, reminiscences, and songs is drawn from a wide sampling of California's many Native cultures, and although a few pieces are familiar classics, most are published here for the first time, in fresh literary translations. The translators, whether professional linguists or Native scholars and storytellers, are all acknowledged experts in their respective languages, and their introductions to each selection provide welcome cultural and biographical context. Augmenting and enhancing the book are Luthin's engaging, informative essays on topics that range from California's Native languages and oral-literary traditions to critical issues in performance, translation, and the history of California literary ethnography.Indians of North AmericaCaliforniaFolkloreIndians of North AmericaCaliforniaMusicIndian mythologyCaliforniaanthology.california history.california indian.california.central california.creation myth.illustrated.indigenous people.indigenous populations.myth.mythology.native american.native california.native languages.native music.native mythology.native people.native songs.native stories.native tribes.northwestern california.regional.short stories.south central california.survival.tribal.Indians of North AmericaIndians of North AmericaIndian mythology398/.089/97Luthin Herbert W.1954-1038283MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456429403321Surviving through the days2459779UNINA
