N2  - "To the American Indian" by Lucy Thompson is a book published in 1916. Written by a Yurok woman, it preserves her people's stories through thirty-two chapters combining Yurok and English. Thompson describes spiritual practices, including the rigorous ceremonies for becoming a Talth, a spiritual leader. She explains cultural traditions around tobacco cultivation and smoking. The book also discusses Yurok ki-elth, a form of servitude distinct from chattel slavery, where impoverished families sought refuge with wealthier households during times of hardship.
