Acknowledgments
I owe a debt of gratitude to many friends and colleagues. My thanks to
all, and especially to the following:
Doña Concepción Hernández de Villanueva and her family for their
hospitality and willingness to tell me about Doña Luz, and Joe Campbell
for facilitating our conversations.
The Charlot family and curator Nancy Morns for sharing two de-
cades of Doña Luz's letters and Jean Charlot's vision of Luz in his diaries,
paintings, and prints.
Senni Timonen, Paraske's biographer, for her generosity and help at
the Finnish Literature Society, and Ritva and Markku Henriksson for
aiding me in many ways.
Leslie O'Bell, who helped me with Russian source material.
R. M. W. Dixon, who sent me the recorded life stories of Chloe Grant
and George Watson so I could hear their voices for myself.
Eunice Pike, who helped me with the final years of María Sabina;
Rachel Saint, who brought me up to date on Dayuma; and Evelyn Pike,
who sent me a collection of Huaorani texts including Dayuma's.
Fred Ellison, who gave me his copy of Laurinda Andrade's auto-
biography.
James Lockhart, who introduced me to Mexico and its Indian heritage
and provided me with a model for historical writing about individuals. My
debt is boundless.
Laura Gutierrez-Witt and the staff of the Benson Latin American
Collection, whose good will and helpfulness have sustained me through
many years.
The Departments of Linguistics and History at the University of
Hawaii for providing me with space, facilities, and collegical support as I
finished the writing.
Alan Ross, who listened to some of these stories and encouraged me.
Helpful readers, including Monica Barnes, Jerry Bentley, Margot
