Description
"In this book, the Native people of southwestern Alaska generously share the traditional stories that form the expressive core of their unique culture. The lifeways observed by a then-young university graduate, who recorded and compiled them in communities on Nunivak Island and the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, offer a glimpse today of a longstanding way of life.". "Though much has changed in the last half century, Yup'ik and Cup'ig orators continue to tell stories to educate and amuse their listeners. With this English translation, Himmelheber has passed on what he learned to Native and non-Native readers alike."--BOOK JACKET.
