Book synopsis

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.
