The Meadow is a story of how love can cross the barrier of time and space to unite two people and ultimately sort life into its proper place. The Meadow is an imaginary place that Amy created in a meditation exercise; or is it really? The meadow belongs to Dan and it is his favorite place in all the world to be. They meet and love in the wonderful meadow, but something is not quite right. It takes a sketch of the meadow to bring them to the realization that they are not living at the same time. The sequel is a startling revelation for the author and the subsequent search for her missing past.

Few among the thousands of vacationers who recreate on and around Lake Almanor each summer realize that beneath its waters lie the remains of a vanished way of life. This tiny Atlantis, Big Meadows, was a microcosm of the cultural forces and conflicts that racked the West in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Rich in natural resources, the Meadows sustained the lives of the native Maidu and the hundreds of encroaching whites who followed on the heels of the Lassen Trail immigrant parties. White men came seeking to exploit those precious resources for gold mining, stock raising, dairying, tourism, timber, and later, hydroelectric power. In the tumult of cultural and industrial change, a pastoral way of life was lost and a native culture vanquished.

Misty asked everyone how pine trees could make such yummy smells. None of the answers ever made any sense. One day she let her nose lead her to the answer in the Annan Woods where she began discovering secrets. Ve lives in the Annan Woods. He walks and talks like other animals. He likes to run through the meadow on sunny mornings like other animals, but he is not at all like other animals. By accident he wakes up one day with a very big problem. The only way he can explain his problem to the wise old Mr. Owl who is the wisest of all wise owls, is to show the wise old Mr. Owl his secret. The wise old Mr. Owl tells Ve about many things, including other animals in the Annan Woods who are different from those in their family, but special in their own way. As you read, you learn why Mother Nature gave striped skunks the terrible smelling oil that they spray. Wolvie's plan shows you how being different can be a very good thing. You will find yourself shaking your head and clapping as you read about the adventures in the Annan Woods. You can think about Ve's tail any way you like, and no one can say you are wrong.

Published through the Recovering Languages and Literacies of the Americas initiative, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation World-Making Stories is a collection of Maidu creation stories that will help readers appreciate California's rich cultural tapestry. At the beginning of the twentieth century, renowned storyteller Hanc'ibyjim (Tom Young) performed Maidu and Atsugewi stories for anthropologist Ronald B. Dixon, who published these stories in 1912. The resulting Maidu Texts presented the stories in numbered block texts that, while serving as a source of linguistic decoding, also reflect the state of anthropological linguistics of the era by not conveying a sense of rhetorical or poetic composition. Sixty years later, noted linguist William Shipley engaged the texts as oral literature and composed a free verse literary translation, which he paired with the artwork of Daniel Stolpe and published in a limited-edition four-volume set that circulated primarily to libraries and private collectors. Here M. Eleanor Nevins and the Weje-ebis (Keep Speaking) Jamani Maidu Language Revitalization Project team illuminate these important tales in a new way by restoring Maidu elements omitted by William Shipley and by bending the translation to more closely correspond in poetic form to the Maidu original. The beautifully told stories by Hanc'ibyjim are accompanied by Stolpe's intricate illustrations and by personal and pedagogical essays from scholars and Maidu leaders working to revitalize the language. The resulting World-Making Stories is a necessity for language revitalization programs and an excellent model of indigenous community-university collaboration.
