Frank Tikalsky

The Sacred Oral Tradition of the Havasupai

The Havasupai Indians have called the Grand Canyon home for nearly 800 years. This is a book about early Havasupai Indian myths and stories. In 1918-1921 anthropologists Leslie Spier and Erna Gunther hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon to learn about, and record, then-living Havasupai culture. In the process they asked two Havasupai leaders and elders for every story they could remember. These 48 stores were translated by native speaker, but for unknown reasons were never published. Spier passed the manuscript on to Havasupai scholar Dr. Robert Euler, who entrusted the stories to his friend and colleague Frank Tikalsky. Tilkalskys manuscript includes the Havasupai myths as Spier and Gunther recorded them almost a century ago.

James M. Skibo

Ants for Breakfast

Ants for Breakfast is about the adventure of modern archaeology. Seeking insight into prehistoric pottery manufacture and use, archaeologist James Skibo traveled to the remote Philippine highlands to live with the Kalinga people, once headhunters and one of the few groups in the world still using ceramics for cooking. James Skibo's time in the Kalinga homeland was packed with the elements of a thriller novel: mystery, danger, sex, violence, death. He was witness to a world both subtly and vastly different from his own. In the course of his story, Skibo links his experiences to the development of modern archaeology, and such topics as human evolution, the peopling of the world, animal domestication, cultural logic, food taboos, basketball, Indiana Jones, even Imelda Marcos.
