It's okay that you don't know much about the Shasta. Most people know about Shasta soda or Mt. Shasta. ;) <br />Crystal Geyser bottled water comes from wells on the side of Mt. Shasta.<br />The amazon link on my blog shows all my books. I co-authored Shasta Nation through Arcadia publishing. It's a pictorial history with bits of tribal and family information attached to each photo.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07332336848922811323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2091700778275524261.post-48776418787344095212015-04-13T08:39:33.441-05:002015-04-13T08:39:33.441-05:00Love the story and the blog.

Are the Shasta an Athapascan people? They and the Apache may have a common ancestry. (I'm ashamed to admit I know virtually nothing about the Shasta, but now I'm intrigued. I'll have to find out about them. :-) )<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05740371055384281988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2091700778275524261.post-69770310903388170402015-04-11T21:12:16.939-05:002015-04-11T21:12:16.939-05:00Thank you Sarah.

The landowner protects it so it isn't disturbed. <br />I'm sure there are similar plants around the world. <br />The Shasta language is harsh so you speak it like you are clearing your throat. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07332336848922811323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2091700778275524261.post-4790870818780468912015-04-11T21:09:17.335-05:002015-04-11T21:09:17.335-05:00Thank you Robyn.

To be called a coyote by a Shasta is not an honor. <br />Coyotes are sneaky and think they are smarter than they are.
