Yana Texts

Yana Texts is a book written by Edward Sapir, an American anthropologist and linguist. The book is a collection of texts in the Yana language, which was spoken by the Yana people of northern California. The Yana language is now extinct, and this book is one of the few remaining sources of information about it. The texts in the book were collected by Sapir during his fieldwork among the Yana people in the early 20th century. The book includes a detailed introduction by Sapir, in which he provides background information on the Yana people, their language, and their culture. The texts themselves are presented in the original Yana language, along with English translations and detailed linguistic analysis by Sapir. The texts cover a wide range of topics, including myths, legends, songs, and personal narratives. Yana Texts is an important contribution to the study of linguistics and anthropology, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Yana people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
