Anpao An American Indian Odyssey - Audio Cassette - Unabridged Author:Jamake Highwater, George Guidall (Narrator) In the tradition of the Native American storyteller, Jamake Highwater weaves generations of legend and stories into the haunting story of a handsome young brave named Anpao. — When Anpao falls in love with the beautiful Ko-ko-mik-e-is, she tells him she belongs to the Sun alone. Before they can wed Anpao must complete a dangerous jour... more »ney to the house of the Sun, to get permission to wed his beloved. As a sign of the Sun's approval, the scars will be melted from Anpao's tawny cheek. This journey takes him backwards and forward in time and space, from the dawn of time to his eerie meeting with the death horse and its horrific rider, Smallpox.
In translating ancient legends into a modern folktale, Highwater allow the non-Indian listener rare insights into a Native American view of history. In presenting the images that are uniquely Indian, Highwater does not revert to symbols of white culture. He retains the other worldly, magical quality of Indian tradition, making Anpao a uniquely enriching and unforgettable listening experience. Recommended for listeners aged 12 and up.
