Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This amazing book takes the reader back to the 1880s author H. H. Bancroft's actual writing, in which he represented what Lake County Pomo People were like and how they lived. Now, the Pomo of Lake County, California has the opportunity to voice their perspective for the Native Peoples using their own voices and those of their ancestors. How did these people, called "savages, barbarians, and primitives" at that time, actually exist over the last 15,000 years? What made them successful? What were their unique governments and their relationship to Mother Earth? This material is written using the unique views of Bancroft alongside voices of Indigenous Peoples as handed down through their oral history. The ancestors have the potential to speak through current generations by bringing age-old songs, stories, and traditions back to life. While this book is written about the Lake County region, the story transcends location. When we shine a light on dark parts of history, we have the opportunity to reshape our relationship to the present."--Publisher's description.
