What reading level is The Culture of the Luiseo Indians book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This was made from a piece of elder wood with the pith removed. Specimens seen were about twenty inches long, and had four holes.
A popgun of elder wood was made as a plaything for boys.
A syringe was made of the bladder of a deer and a piece of cane, the bladder being inflated and then pressed with the hands to eject the contents.
Several herbs are used to make tea, which is used partly as medicine, and also as a beverage by people who are not ill. The tea is made by steeping the plants in boi...ling water. The plants are sometimes used fresh, but are oftener dried. The bird-claw fern, Pellaea ornithopus, is one of the plants used for this pur- pose. Another is Micromeria Douglasii, a creeping aromatic plant of the mint family growing in the shade of trees. Another plant of the mint family, Moitardella lanceolata, is also used.
A tea was made from several different plants that were bitter and acted as emetics when the throat was tickled with a feather. Emetics were formerly much used.
The Luiseilos made no intoxicating drink of any kind what- ever, the stupefying jimson-weed, Datura meteloides, being used for religious purposes, not inebriation.
