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 '"

Excellent book. Thought provoking and faith challenging. A book that calls the true believers to rise up and occupy. A must read for all who are ready to take up the call to be generational reformers.

A questionable call...
Format: Paperback
In the world of prophetic literature, when I encounter books with numerous testimonials about its importance, I see red flags stating to fly, and I am warned of a man-made agenda, rather than a movement of God. Joseph Z (or his publisher, Hamilton House) have incorporated no fewer than 33 testimonials from pastors and teachers throughout the prophetic movement to life up praises to this writing. (Methinks they doth need to advertise too much?) However, it IS well written, and you will not be bored as you go through the material. I have found that the quiet leading of the Holy Spirit is a much more convincing move for me to read a publication than a cacophony of voices shouting its praises to the rooftops. True to form, I find Joseph Z, his publication, and his views, though heavily laced with scripture, to be aligned with the calling and agenda of the Christian Nationalists and their widespread movement in the US, today. If you see a calling to take over and change the world for Christ before HE comes (especially from the standpoint of the culture and government of the US), then this writing will appeal to you and support your supposed calling. The idea of an 'Elijah company' calling in the Body of Christ is always purported to come from a new revelation, simply because that concept can't be supported within scripture and its traditional interpretation. The new calling is simply an attempt to justify taking the gospel hostage to a political agenda of 'improving' our country, government, or culture. This concept is outside the traditional bounds of scripture, hence its support by a new group of prophets and/or apostles, with a 'new' message to the Body. I, too, believe that scripture confirms that Elijah will come to prepare the way of the Lord before HE returns in these last days. However, I see that person to be a single individual, as was Elijah in the Old Testament, and John the Baptist, in the New. I don't see a company (plural) being called into this position, nor do I see a mandate for the Body of Christ to occupy any earth-based land or system in anticipation of the Lord's return. Israel was promised an earthly Land; the Body of Christ never was, and no matter how many voices are raised up to declare otherwise, it isn't true. I will not stand in the way of those who follow this movement, but I will not be joining them. I'm content to let the Lord work out HIS plan in HIS time and in HIS way.
