Hupa Texts

Hupa Texts is a book compiled by Pliny Earle Goddard that contains a collection of traditional stories and myths from the Hupa people, a Native American tribe from northern California. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which contains a series of stories that were originally told by Hupa elders and were transcribed and translated by Goddard in the early 20th century. The stories cover a wide range of topics, including creation myths, animal tales, and legends of heroic figures.The second part of the book contains a detailed linguistic analysis of the Hupa language, including a grammar and a vocabulary list. This section provides valuable insights into the structure and syntax of the Hupa language, as well as its relationship to other languages in the region.Overall, Hupa Texts is a fascinating exploration of the rich cultural heritage of the Hupa people, as well as an important resource for linguists and anthropologists studying Native American languages and cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
