ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I am indebted to many people for their assistance and

encouragement.

I would first like to thank Dr. Maurice Zigmond, who

devoted much of his academic career to researching Kawaiisu

language and ethnobotany, and his wife Kathy for providing

me with informative articles.

I am especially grateful that Dr. Sheldon Klein gave

me permission to use interviews he collected in the summer

of 1958. The interviews of Fred and Rosie appear, courtesy

of Dr. Klein, under the auspices of the linguistics

department of the University of Minnesota.

I also wish to thank my husband for his unwavering
confidence in my ability to complete this project,

especially during those times when my confidence wavered.
Most of all, I am indebted to Clara and Harold

Williams, Carmen Peebles, Monty, and Andy Greene for
welcoming me into their homes and patiently answering all of

my questions. The wealth of information in the stories and
insight that they shared with me are only a glimpse of their

lives and experiences.
Leslie J. Zaglauer
