This book is a journey of two cultures living side by side. The Paiute People endured the coming of white settlers to their home country of Surprise Valley and Nevada's High Desert. These poems and stories define their gift of friendship to five generations of the Hussa Family.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Tokens in an Indian Graveyard are tales of kindness and charity, but also of prejudice and downright meanness; a history of the Fort Bidwell Indian School and the systematic destruction of Native culture. Tokens sustains the ancient conversation between the land and its human cultures. From their shared wisdom, Linda Hussa weaves lessons of hope and survival. -- Jacket blurb --Jerry Martien, author of Pieces In Place, The Shell Game
