Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
At one time there were almost as many different versions of the
Quechan creation story as there were Quechan families. Now few
people remember them. This volume, presented in the Quechan
language with facing-column translation, provides three views of
the origins of the Quechan people. One synthesizes narrator George
Bryant's childhood memories and later research. The second is based
upon J. P. Harrington's A Yuma Account of Origins (1908). The third
provides a modern view of the origins of the Quechan, beginning
with the migration from Asia to the New World and ending with the
settlement of the Yuman tribes at their present locations.
The Quechan people live along the lower part of the Colorado River
in the United States. According to tradition, the Quechan and other
Yuman people were created at the beginning of time, and their
Creation myth explains how they came into existence, the origin of
their environment, and the significance of their oldest traditions.
The Creation myth forms the backdrop against which much of the
tribe's extensive oral literature may be understood. At one time
