Description

Jaime de Angulo's Indians in Overalls is an account of his 1921 linguistic field trip to northeastern California. De Angulo spent time with the Achumawi tribe, learning their complex language and observing shamanistic practices. During this journey, he collected stories told around the fire in winter lodges, gaining insight into the tribe's rich mythology. The author felt a deep connection with the Achumawi people, who possessed "the spirit of wonder" and a profound recognition of life as power. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the culture and traditions of the Pit River tribe, providing a unique perspective on their language, customs, and way of life.
