The Ear-Flyers and Related Motifs in the Gilbert Islands and Its Neighbors
Katharine LuomalaARTICLEJournal of American Folklore1973

Dreams and Dream Interpretation of the Diegueño Indians of Southern California
Gertrude Toffelmier, Katharine LuomalaARTICLEThe Psychoanalytic Quarterly1936Cited by: 5
While not precisely 'lost,' the paper presented in this installment of Lost and Found appears to be little cited in the literature, and it certainly deserves wider scholarly recognition than it has received so far.

For three years, most of the West Coast residents had seen few, if any, Japanese on their streets and highways. Other people, many of them newcomers to the West Coast, had occupied their homes, …
