Essie Parrish was the spiritual leader and healer for the Pomo tribe at the Kashia rancheria
for many decades ending with her death in 1979.
Photographer and filmmaker William R. Heick documented Native American culture,
including Pomo ceremonies by Essie Parrish, under the direction of Dr. Samuel Barrett and
the American Indian Project, at U.C. Berkeley in the early 1960s.
Heick was a humble pioneer whose sensitive films captured Native American cultures with an
ethnographic depth that eluded traditional anthropologists. By innovating the uninterrupted
continuous shot, he allowed his subjects to speak for themselves, which was a groundbreaking
approach at the time.
Many of Heick's photos from his U.C. Berkeley project are presented in this book-along
with photos from his son, Bill Heick Jr.
Anthropologist Otis Parrish, Essie's son and tribal elder, comments on the photos, revealing
insights into Pomo life and ceremonies in the twentieth century.
