Ka-Mi-Akin: Last Hero Of The Yakimas is a biographical account of the life of a Native American warrior named Ka-Mi-Akin, who belonged to the Yakima tribe in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The book is written by A.J. Splawn, who was a contemporary of Ka-Mi-Akin and had interacted with him personally.The book begins with a brief history of the Yakima tribe and their way of life before the arrival of European settlers. It then goes on to describe the life of Ka-Mi-Akin, who was born in the mid-19th century and grew up in a time of great upheaval, as the Yakima people were forced to adapt to the changing world around them.Ka-Mi-Akin was a skilled warrior, hunter, and leader who played a key role in defending his people against the encroachment of white settlers and the U.S. Army. The book describes his many battles and skirmishes, as well as his efforts to negotiate peace with the authorities.Throughout the book, Splawn portrays Ka-Mi-Akin as a heroic figure who embodies the best qualities of his people: courage, resilience, and a deep connection to the land. He also provides insights into Yakima culture and traditions, as well as the challenges faced by Native Americans in the face of colonialism and cultural assimilation.Overall, Ka-Mi-Akin: Last Hero Of The Yakimas is a fascinating and informative account of a little-known figure in Native American history, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Pacific Northwest.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
