Newe Hupia: Shoshoni Poetry Songs

Rating:
Summary: In the Native American Shoshoni language and in English
Review: A collaborative effort by Beverly Crum, Earl Crum, and Jon P. Dayly, Newe Hupia: Shoshoni Poetry Songs is a unique and seminal collection of poetry and songs both in the Native American Shoshoni language and in English translation. An introduction and commentary about the poems, as well as a vast glossary of Shoshoni terms and their English meanings offers meaningful context for these timeless and eternal verses of the heart and soul. Newe Hupia also comes with an audio CD containing superbly recorded performances of the songs by Earl and Beverly Crum, resulting in a unique literary and audio experience that is very highly recommended, ground breaking contribution to Native American Studies music and cultural reference collections.
