Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives and language of the Chimariko Indians of California. The author, an anthropologist, conducted fieldwork in the early 1900s, documenting the rapidly vanishing culture of this unique tribe before it was lost forever. Through meticulous detail, the author delves into the Chimariko's daily lives, exploring their material culture, social organization, and religious beliefs. He presents evidence suggesting that the Chimariko were culturally distinct from neighboring tribes such as the Hupa and the Wintun, and that their culture may have been more closely aligned with the Shasta. The book also provides a detailed examination of the Chimariko language, one that was thought to be unrelated to any other known language at the time. The author meticulously outlines the languageââ â¢s structure, grammar, and sound system, providing valuable insights into the unique features that set Chimariko apart. Through this close linguistic analysis, the author further strengthens the argument for a cultural kinship between the Chimariko and the Shasta. The bookââ â¢s insights into the Chimariko culture and language provide valuable historical and anthropological context for understanding the diversity and richness of Californiaââ â¢s Native American heritage. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
