Editor John E. Smelcer has assembled this introductory anthology of oral "narrative" literature, containing some 60 tales from 14 Alaska native groups, including Tlingit, Eskimo, a nd Athabaskan, so that the unfamiliar reader may partake of a magnificent journey into the mythic cosmos of the first peoples of Alaska - a world of creation and death, of passions and magic, of deceit and power; a cosmos where animals speak and Raven rules supreme. 150 pages.
