Summary "The Children of Cupa" by Mary E. Mannix is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the Page family, specifically Mrs. Page, who is recovering from illness, and her two children, Nellie and Walter, as they embark on a summer camping trip to Warner's Hot Springs in California. Alongside the family's adventures, the narrative highlights the experiences of the local Cupeño Indians, who face the injustice of being evicted from their ancestral lands. At the start of the book, the Page family discusses plans to take Mrs. Page to a healing location while navigating the complexities around the rights of the Cupeño Indians. Through dialogue among family members and their aunt, we learn about the cool springs, the camping arrangements, and the children's excitement about the idea of living in an Indian village. The conversations touch on sensitive topics like the dislocation of Native people and health, blending the themes of family bonding with cultural conflict and the historical context of land ownership in California. As the family begins their journey, the children look forward to exploring their new environment and interacting with the indigenous community, setting the stage for a rich exploration of both personal and cultural narratives.
