Northeastern And Western Yavapai Myths (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781430483335)

Northeastern And Western Yavapai Myths is a book that explores the myths and legends of the Yavapai people, a Native American tribe that primarily resides in Arizona. The author, E.W. Gifford, collected these myths from various Yavapai individuals and tribes during his time as an ethnographer in the early 1900s. The book is divided into two sections, one focusing on the myths of the northeastern Yavapai and the other on the myths of the western Yavapai. The myths themselves cover a wide range of topics, from creation stories and tales of the gods to stories of heroes and tricksters. Many of these stories provide insight into the Yavapai culture and belief system, including their views on the natural world, death and the afterlife, and the importance of community and family. In addition to the myths themselves, the book also includes detailed introductions to each section, providing context for the stories and explaining their significance within Yavapai culture. There are also notes and annotations throughout the book that provide further explanation and clarification for readers who may be unfamiliar with Yavapai culture or the stories themselves. Overall, Northeastern And Western Yavapai Myths is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American mythology or the Yavapai people specifically. The book provides a rich and detailed look into the beliefs and traditions of this fascinating culture, and the stories themselves are both entertaining and thought-provoking.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
