Shoshoni Illustrated Book Series
The illustrated books have been formally published since 2012. Currently, there are 17 published illustrated books.
Many of the books are adaptations of traditional stories based on recordings from the Wick R. Miller Collection. Other books focus on teaching the Shoshoni language (basic vocabulary and sentence structure) in a fun and visually-appealing way. The books were illustrated and developed by participants of the Shoshone/Goshute Youth Language Apprenticeship Program from 2009 - 2016.
The published hard copy books are not available for request or purchase at this time, but video books are available at any time.
