In 1965 Francesca Fryer set out to explore the historic Indian-White Encounter on California's isolated north-coast. She was surprised to discover exceedingly important encounters had occurred there in the early decades of this century - such as the adoption of Harry Roberts and his mother into the Yurok Spott family or the collaboration of the Yurok intellectual Robert Spott and the anthropologist Alfred Kroeber - the consequences of which are mostly unrecognized today. She discovered also the integral meaning of rivers and myth, redwoods and salmon for her story. In 1967, psychiatrist, Dr. Lee Sanella, warned her: "It is a story that needs to be told, but no one will believe you." She was the historian chasing paper and personalities, with no idea that Sandspit would become her story as well. | ||||||||||||||
