This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Yokuts Language of South Central California As the grammatical use of reduplication is confined, it follows that nearly all formal expression in the language is due to suf fixion, extended and aided somewhat by vocalic mutation. In view of the large part left to this process to fill, it is surprising that altogether scarcely thirty formal suffixes have been found in the language. As this number includes case and number suffixes as well as modal and temporal ones, it is evident that the economy which the language exercises in its means of expressing form extends also to the grammatical ideas expressed. The strue ture of the language is therefore necessarily simple. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Karuk Indian Myths (Classic Reprint) by : John P. Harrington
Download or read book Karuk Indian Myths (Classic Reprint) written by John P. Harrington and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Karuk Indian Myths Indian myths are valuable as literature in direct proportion to the faithfulness to the old style Indian linguistic form in which they are told. Volumes of mythology distorted by being told loosely in English will be of only secondary usefulness in the future, when ethnology and mythology have become more exacting sciences. The only proper method for recording mythology is to obtain the services of a good mythologist and then to take down syllable by syllable in his own language, with unrestrained literary freedom, the story as he tells it, and as nearly as possible as he heard it from those a little farther back in the lines of elders. These ideal conditions were fulfilled in the following series of texts. Caught exactly as naturally dictated by Mrs. Phoebe Maddux, Indian name Imkyanva'an, meaning Wild Sunflower Greens Gatherer, 65-year-old full-blood Indian woman of the Karuk Tribe of northwestern California, they not only constitute Karuk as it is spoken and narrated, but Karuk literature, which when its syllables are analyzed and the exquisite force and balance of the elements appreciated, ranks well with the literature of any language. The Karuk, whose name means "upriver" Indians, hold a stretch of the central course of the Klamath, the most like the Columbia River of any of Californias streams. Along the banks of the central Klamath lived the Karuks, their villages of rows of well-built plank houses hugging the stream. Here they knew and named every rock and pool by the river, every gully and fallen tree upslope. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Legends HE history of the American Indians, as we know it, begins with the history of the first Spanish, French, and English settlements in the new continent. All that we know of the race before that time is gleaned from the traditions of the Indians themselves. These traditions do not give us the actual dates and facts, which it is one function of history to record, but they do give us an idea of the fundamental racial thought, the instinctive belief, the habits, and the religion of the Indian people, and this is an equally important part of history.

Book Synopsis Myths and Tales of the Southeastern Indians (Classic Reprint) by : John R. Swanton
Download or read book Myths and Tales of the Southeastern Indians (Classic Reprint) written by John R. Swanton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Myths and Tales of the Southeastern Indians The greater part of the accompanying material was collected by the writer between the years 1908 and 1914. Among the Creek myths, however, are included most of those secured by W. O. Tuggle many years ago, the originals of which are preserved among the documents in the Bureau of American Ethnology. The rest were taken down at various places and from various persons, and for the most part in English, no systematic attempt having been made at what might be called a Creek collection. The Alabama stories are from the Alabama Indians living in Polk County, Tex., and the Koasati stories from some of the same informants and from the Koasati near Kinder, La. The Hitchiti stories were obtained from a few speakers of the Hitchiti language in the northern part of Seminole County, Okla., part of them having been recorded directly, while part were written down in the original by an Indian. The Natchez collection, so called, was secured from one of the few remaining speakers of the ancient Natchez tongue residing near Braggs, Okla., a man named Watt Sam. This informant had drawn not merely upon his own people but upon his Cherokee and Creek neighbors, and it would now be impossible to say how much of the collection is pure Natchez, or, indeed, whether any of it may be so denominated. These stories and those from the Hitchiti, Koasati, and Alabama were also recorded in text form. No attempt has been made to separate these stories into classes, but the following general order has been observed. Stories which deal with natural phenomena or the doings of ancient native heroes, such as might more properly be called myths, have been placed first. Next have been entered stories of visits to the world of the dead, of which there are few, as it happens, except in the Alabama series. Then come stories detailing encounters between men and animals or supernatural beings in animal form. After these have been placed tales dealing with happenings among the animals, concluding with all of those having to do with the Southeastern trickster Rabbit. Then appear stories - or other stories - known to have been borrowed from the whites or Negroes, or such as probably had such an origin, and at the end a few war tales of miscellaneous character.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rainbow Stories and Indian Myths I wonder if there really are Fairies, he mused sleepily as he studied the changing forms of the fleecy clouds. He could imagine in them armadas of ships sailing across the sky, or columns of cavalry, or Roman chariot races, or distant seas with islands and moun tainous shores, but nowhere could he make out anything that looked at all like a Fairy. Perhaps they only appear when one is asleep. If I close my eyes and keep very still, one may come and talk to me. He was silent for a long time, but all he could hear was the sighing of the breeze in the branches overhead. I wonder if I could understand the Fairy language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Myths of the Southern Sierra Miwok The third peopling of the world was by bird and mammal people, most of whom later became our present birds and mammals. The chiefs9 of this people were Morning-star and Puma. Their home was in the large chamber of Bower Cave.10 The stalactitic formations now to be seen in this cave are in reality only the dried meat and entrails which these chiefs had as food. Raven was the great hunter at this cave home of the chiefs. Wild cat, Fox, and certain others were also very important personages. Raven was originally pure white, but when he went out hunting the deer saw him and he was unable to get near enough to shoot. He smeared charcoal paint all over his body and found that he was less easily seen. Hence his present black color. All of these people, except Morning-star, became birds and mammals as indicated.
