Lost Across the Ocean : 9781522885436

The Hupa legend of Yimantuwinyai (Whyman) comes alive as the culture hero sails across the Pacific and returns to find his son Sunhides in the Northwest. He comes during a warming period of the Ice Age when the grass grows lush on the prairie, the salmon choke the rivers and game is plentiful. Natives hail the time travelers Phil and Tim as the sons of Thunder, and Thunderbird, spirit guide of the people. A story of wilderness adventure, romance, and intrigue as Sunhides travels to the future and meets Sally an anthropologist. Thunder brothers Phil and Tim are trapped in a prehistoric culture but love every minute of the enthralling adventure. Meet Makah chief of the gentle and strong Salmon people, Xabenawina, antelope wonder worker, Tallwillow chief of the Bison hunters, and Kingbird who can hurl a dart into a running Bison at 100 yards. Raven and the Mammoth hunters will lead you on a chase through the wilderness and a final battle with the Nishi and the Bison hunters. This a special English word edition for easy reading yet it retains some Amerindian words to retain authenticity. For those who are interesting in a more authentic wording including names and places in Native American words, there is another edition available with a canoe on the cover.
