Description

Indian TalesHailed by Ezra Pound as the "American Ovid" and renowned as a linguist and a self described "amateur anthropologist," Jaime de Angulo drew on his forty years among the Pit River tribe of California to create the amalgam of fiction, folklore, tall tales, jokes, ceremonial ritual, and adventure that is Indian Tales.

Hailed by Ezra Pound as the "American Ovid" and renowned as a linguist and a self-described "amateur anthropologist," Jaime de Angulo drew on his forty years among the Pit River tribe of California to create the amalgam of fiction, folklore, tall tales, jokes, ceremonial ritual, and adventure that is Indian Tales. He first wrote these stories to entertain his children, borrowing freely from the worlds of the Pit, and also of the Miwok, Pomo, and Karok. Here are the adventures of Father Bear, Mother Antelope, the little boy Fox, and, of course, Old Man Coyote in a time when people and animals weren't so very far apart. The author's intent was not so much to rer anthropologically faithful translations-though they are here-as to create a magical world fueled by the power of storytelling while avoiding the dangers for the romantic and picturesque. True to the playful and imaginative spirit he portrays, de Angulo mischievously recommends to readers: "When you find yourself searching for some mechanical explanation, if you don't know the answer, invent one. When you pick out some inconsistency or marvelous improbability, satisfy your curiosity like the old Indian folk: 'Well, that's the way they tell that story. I didn't make it up '"

Go ahead and buy it!
I was kind of scared to purchase these because most of tue reviews received this product for free, I’m here to say I’m happy I purchased. First they smell very good, plus these ingredients are wayyy better than other soaps on here (that have dyes). Also I think the price is great. I have paid 14 for one bar, I’m willing to pay a reasonable price for good quality ingredients. I will report back to see if I noticed a change in the soap! Super excited to try on my body

Not as advertised
The soap does not look like anything in the advertisement picture. The actual appearance looks like a dull kind of brown color. The box looked like it was open before I opened it. It just didn’t appear packaged well and not for sure about the soap quality cause I don’t even know if it’s papaya soap the way it looks.
