'ani'to'o'pe - Nisenan Reader

An important moment in Cultural Revitalization was the creation of this Nisenan Children’s Book, ‘Ani’to’o’pek Beteyim Paiyom!! The book was distributed to local schools in Fall 2020 and is available to the public at the CHIRP gallery space, 'Uba Seo in downtown Nevada City and in CHIRP's online store.

Here’s a link to a recording of Nevada City Rancheria Tribal Spokesperson Shelly Covert sharing about the book on KVMR 89.5FM & 105.1FM program, "Educationally Speaking".

The book was created in partnership with Nevada County Library and made possible through an IMLS grant. This is a panel discussion and Shelly’s interview begins at 11:13.
