About This Item
This remarkable anthology contains 84 Alaska Native stories and poems from the oral tradition. Some were told in Native languages, tape recorded, transcribed, and translated. Others were published in various places and collected by various authorities including Jeane Breinig, Patricia Partnow, Nora Marks Dauenhauer, Richard Dauenhauer, and Gary Holthaus—editors, scholars, translators, and poets. Images of Alaska Native art (carving, figurine, needle container, sculpture, masks) appear among the pages. The literary works are ghostly, magical, and culturally symbolic, creating wonder, thought, and remembrance. Prices online for this book range from $28 to over $200. Except for a small, age-related yellow stain on the bottom right cover and minimal shelf wear, this valued first edition is "like new."
