Synopsis

Unearth the rich world of Tlingit myths and texts as recorded in early fieldwork .

This collection presents a sweeping range of stories and narratives gathered from Sitka and Wrangell, Alaska, in 1904. It offers English-language versions alongside native songs, chants, and ceremonial tale frameworks that illuminate Tlingit belief, social life, and cosmology.

The volume includes a broad sampling of myths and narratives, from Raven’s creation of light to animal guardians and heroic journeys. It also features textual apparatus such as a phonetic key and introductory material that situates the tales within their cultural setting and linguistic context. Readers will encounter long-form myths, episodic legends, and historical notes on storytellers, feasts, and crests that shaped Tlingit storytelling traditions.
  • A diverse anthology of myths and texts, with English renditions and sitka Wrangell variants
  • Narratives featuring Raven, bears, sea-creatures, and other key figures
  • Phonetic key and introductory notes to aid understanding of language and culture
  • Context on the people, feasts, crests, and storytelling practices that frame the tales
  • Suitable for students, folklore enthusiasts, and general readers interested in Indigenous storytelling
Ideal for readers of Native folklore and ethnographic collections seeking primary narratives and cultural insight.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
