An important document for its mythographical constructs.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Maidu Indian Myths and Stories of Hanc'ibyjim (Paperback)
Editor William Shipley has done a fine job of taking what must be the largest native-American story database (Maidu tribe) extant, and shown the tales in a favorable light for modern Mankind. One other triblet and a small scattering of surviving rancheria/reservation bands have materials of the quality of the Maidu, but no other California site Indian populations had the sheer volumes, NATIVE- VOICED, and available for posterity. This is a good thing and the trend should be adopted while there are still a few stories out there that might even have the NATIVE-NAMES in place, for the sake of children everywhere, and their parents who have yet to grow-up, I can think of few talemakers who have so cleverly placed Man' fate into the hands of his Maker, in such alarming/amazing ways!

This was a gift to a well know linguist in indian languages and culture and he was very happy with this book and its coverage and fine organization. It is well written and will be interesting to anyone who wants to learn of our local indian culture.
