| Summary | Annotation The Nim (North Fork Mono) Indians have lived for centuries in a remote region of California's Sierra Nevada. In this memoir, Gaylen D. Lee recounts the story of his Nim family across six generations. Drawing from the recollections of his grandparents, mother, and other relatives, Lee provides a deeply personal account of his people's history and culture. In keeping with the Nim's traditional life-style, Lee's memoir takes us through their annual seasonal cycle. He describes communal activities, such as food gathering, hunting and fishing, the processing of acorn (the Nim's staple food), basket-making, and ceremonies and games. Family photographs, some dating to the beginning of this century, enliven Lee's descriptions. |
