Specificatii
Honne, the Spirit of the Chehalis embodies a narrative tour de
force that interweaves episodes (that stand alone in ordinary
tellings) into an integrated series of installments. This
collection of Salish stories features the Changer's efforts to
successively transform a proto-being or spirit into the present
form of a named species (deer, owl, shark, sea otter, and others).
Additional stories describe how the Changer allowed Bear or Ant to
apportion day and night; permitted Frog to schedule tides; and
taught humans how to cook meat and clams, hunt with a bow, dry
berries, cure sickness, settle communities, and prepare for the
afterworld. These tales are told by George Sanders, a master
storyteller whose family included chiefs of the Nisqually Indian
tribe, which lives south of what is now Tacoma, Washington. As part
of the oral tradition, these stories were rarely heard by those
outside the area until Katherine Van Winkle Palmer, daughter of the
local doctor, collected them for posterity. Jay Miller introduces
this new edition with a close look at the linguistic complexity of
the region, which testifies to the rich diversity of the Americas
before epidemics and dislocations took their devastating toll. By
weaving together these masterful installments, Honne, the Spirit of
the Chehalis provides an evocative example of interwoven Salish
oral literature at its best. George Sanders (1880-1959) was a
Chehalis (with Nisqually and Cowlitz) Indian who lived as a logger
and farmer. Katherine Van Winkle Palmer (1895-1982) was a
distinguished geologist and paleontologist who founded the
Paleontological Research Institute. Jay Miller is a linguist and
anthropologist and is a former associate director of the D'Arcy
McNickle Center for American Indian History at the Newberry Library
in Chicago. He is the author of several books for adults and
children, including Lushootseed Culture and the Shamanic Odyssey
(Nebraska, 1999).
