The White-Skin Deer: Hoopa Stories follows the Mammoth Publication
mission of recovering histories. It is a first-hand, fictionalized
account of tribal elders' stories, written by a sincere and
respectful non-Native woman, Elizabeth Schultz. Schultz wrote these
stories based on her experiences living on the Hoopa Valley Tribe's
land during the 1950s. This was a time period when Bureau of Indian
Affairs policies of assimilation were at their height. Their
boarding elementary and high schools actively worked against Native
cultural practices, including Native language, ceremonies, economic
systems, and kinship responsibilities. Like all good fiction, these
stories prompt reflection. Embedded within them are the conflicts
facing most American tribal peoples at that time.
