Lolami In Tusayan (1903)

By Clara Kern Bayliss

Book Overview

Lolami In Tusayan is a historical novel written by Clara Kern Bayliss and published in 1903. The story is set in the late 19th century and follows the life of Lolami, a young Hopi girl living in the village of Oraibi in Tusayan, a region in what is now Arizona. Lolami is torn between her traditional Hopi upbringing and the influence of the white settlers who have come to the area. As she navigates the complexities of her dual identity, Lolami must also confront the challenges of life in a rapidly changing world, including the threat of forced assimilation and the loss of her cultural heritage. Through Lolami's experiences, the novel explores themes of identity, cultural conflict, and the struggle for autonomy in the face of outside pressures. Bayliss, who lived among the Hopi people for several years, draws on her firsthand knowledge of their customs and traditions to create a vivid and authentic portrayal of Hopi life and culture. Lolami In Tusayan is a powerful and thought-provoking work of historical fiction that offers a unique perspective on the complex and often painful history of Native American peoples in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
