5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and informative essays on California languages!, April 27, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Flutes of Fire: Essays on California Indian Languages (Paperback)
Flutes of Fire is a collection of essays dealing with California Indian languages. The 22 essays are interesting, educational, and fun to read. Two of my favorite essays are "Upriver, Downriver: the Vocabulary of Direction" and "A Pinenut by Any Other Name." You'll be amazed at how much information and enjoyment you get out of this book

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Flutes of Fire: Essays on California Indian Languages (Paperback)
Lively, accessible essays about the uniqueness of California's many Native languages and the amazing work tribes have done to preserve these languages despite all odds. Indigenous Californians are at the forefront of language preservation - with active revitalization programs even for languages with no living speakers - so this is an inspiring read for anyone involved in language preservation. The book also provides insights in to Native California tribal cultures and lifeways.

This review is from: Flutes of Fire: Essays on California Indian Languages (Paperback)
Amazon service was excellent as expected. I bought this book as a gift for a museum docent. It was much appreciated and will no doubt add to his already considerable knowledge of California's indigenous people.
