Offering insight in the world of living as an American Indian, Tsil Somiviki: A Memoir of Hopi Tamales narrates the stories of author Sal Sahmes grandparents and his family throughout the years.
In this memoir, Sahme tells about the life lessons that helped shape his character and inheritance during his boyhood years living on an Indian reservation following World War II. He shares a wealth of images, sounds, tastes, and smells from his grandmother and grandfathers home and homeland. It shows how culture, ceremonies, and a borrowed language are used to bridge the foreign influence that shape a lifes walk.
A rite-of-passage story, Tsil Somiviki: A Memoir of Hopi Tamales is about a child born into the wealth of two separate American native societies. The result is a cherished child who is whole and connected to his people.
