What reading level is Types of Indian Culture in California book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In central California it is usually fouV. Shamanism rests upon the same general basis of thought as elsewhere in America, but shows considerable specialization in some directions. Among at least one tribe, the Yurok of the lower Klamath river, there appears to be no definite conception of a guardian spirit or supernatural helper, an idea universal throughout the continent. Nevertheless the actions gone through both in the acquisition of shamanistic power and in its practice appear to be the sam...e as elsewhere. The mythologies of the northwestern and especially of the central region of California are quite 1 different from those found in other parts of North America, and their special characteristics may be best brought out by a comparison. The mythologies of all peoples contain an attempt to explain the world. This is true of more than the almost everpresent creation myth. Among primitive people who have not come under the influence of one of the world religions, most myths end with an account of the origin of something in nature or Ail.
