Specificatii
This is the story of two courageous boys and of how they saved
their village. Their village is called Haapaahnitse, Oak Place, and
it lies at the foot of a mountain. Once there was a lake and a
stream nearby, but they have dried up. Once rain and snow came, but
no more. Not only did the crops wither and die, even the hardy oak
trees have become brittle sticks. The land has become barren and
dry. Two brothers, Tsaiyah-dzehshi, whose name means First One, and
Hamahshu-dzehshi, Next One, are chosen for an important mission.
They are sent on a westward trek to the home of the Shiwana, the
Rain and Snow Spirits, to ask them to bring the gift of water to
the village again. The brothers cross deserts and mountains on an
arduous journey until they are finally stopped short by a
treacherous canyon filled with molten lava. The Good Rainbow Road
tells how the brothers overcome this last challenge and continue on
to their destination. Written in the tradition of Native American
oral storytelling and accompanied by colorful illustrations from
celebrated Native artist Michael Lacapa, it brings the powers of
language, memory, and imagery to a tale that will captivate
children ages seven and up. As Simon Ortiz writes, The Good Rainbow
Road is located in the Native American world, but it is not limited
to that world. Even considering humankind's many ethnic and racial
differences, we are all part of each other as people and the rest
of all Creation, and our stories join us together. This is the
foundation of The Good Rainbow Road, and on that road young readers
will broaden their understanding of humanity's common bonds. The
Good Rainbow Road is presented in Keres, the language of Acoma
Pueblo and six other Pueblo communities in New Mexico, and in
English, with an additional Spanish translation in the back of the
book.
