Читать книгу Mabel McKay - Greg Sarris - Страница 6

I was born in Nice, Lake County, California. 1907, January 12. My mother, Daisy Hansen. My father, Yanta Boone. Grandma raised me. Her name, Sarah Taylor. I followed everywhere with her. I marry once in Sulphur Bank. Second time I marry Charlie McKay. We live in Lake County, then Ukiah, then Santa Rosa. I weave baskets, and show them different places. Have son, Marshall. Now grandkids, too. My tribe, Pomo.

There, how’s that? That’s how I can tell my life for the white people’s way. Is that what you want? It’s more, my life. It’s not only the one thing. It’s many. You have to listen. You have to know me to know what I’m talking about.
