Spirit Mountain: An Anthology of Yuman Story and SongThe oral traditions of the Yuman tribes, who live in the deserts and along the waterways of the lower Colorado River, have remained relatively unknown to outsiders. Spirit Mountain seeks both to disseminate and to preserve these stories and songs in their authentic form by presenting English translations side-by-side with Indian versions. Particular care has been taken to convey the rhythm and flow of the original narration in the spacing, line length and punctuation of the text. |
