"For millenia the Karuk language has been spoken by people on the upper part of the Klamath River in northwestern California. Scholars have been extravagant in their praise of this marvelous language. "Copious, sonorous, and rich in new combination," said the 19th century ethnographer Stephen Powers. John P. Harrington, who knew more California Indian languages than any other person in the world, said about Karuk literature: "When its syllables are analyzed and the exquisite force and balance of the elements appreciated, it ranks well with the literature of any language."-- Back cover. |
