Publisher Synopsis
<p>In this carefully-wrought book, thirty unforgettable Southern Paiute people speak to us. Logan Hebner is our guide, our Studs Terkel--unfailingly generous and warm. Hebner asks: "Why, in all this time, has nobody simply asked the Southern Paiute for their stories?" Hebner did just that, and in doing so, he was able to record stories that exist nowhere else in print, interviewing elders who remember tales told to them by their grandparents--taking us right back to the 19th century. We listen to the full sweep of tragedy and restoration in the life of this often-neglected Southwestern tribe as they "tell their own histories."<p>Hebner's persistence over twenty years pays off splendidly. He is a fine, humorous, and observant writer, sharing intimate scenes from his fieldwork and taking care to provide trustworthy and wide-ranging historical and anthropological context. Michael Plyler's quiet portraits reflect the same honorable approach. In moving and eloquent words, the Southern Paiute share with us the forgotten "clues to who they were, who they remain, how they've survived, and what will carry them into the future."<p>Stephen Trimble, author of The People: Indians of the American Southwest Read more...
