## Description

***This is an eBook for immediate digital download.***

*Kammu Kammu* is how you say “Rabbit” in the Northern Paiute Language of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe in Nevada and a Great Basin Tribe. The song tradition of the Great Basin Native American tribes in Nevada is the circle dance. Three main tribes have circle dance songs – Shoshone, Paiute, and Washoe. These songs are older than the formation of the United States itself. All songs are the product of stories about the lifeways that happen within the homelands of the Great Basin Tribes.

Michelle McCauley, the author of *Kammu Kammu,* grew up on the Pyramid Lake Paiute Indian Reservation and played outside with her siblings and friends, often seeing rabbits. It is still widespread to see rabbits everywhere on the reservation, hopping along the road, hopping in yards, and hopping back into the hills. This song is a culmination of Michelle’s childhood leading into adult life in always seeing the rabbit. This online storybook highlights the environment of the reservation and brings about familiar landscapes and behaviors of the rabbit.

> This is such a great resource! The teaching guide is also very helpful. I only wish it had a translation for the words in the song - we know "kammu" is rabbit, but the pronunciation guide only shows definitions for the Paiute words in the story...
