"Mary Beck’s collection of legends from Tlingit and Haida folklore provides an excellent look at not only the mythology but the value and culture of these Southeast Alaska Natives." - Jan O’Meara Homer News Over uncounted generations the Tlingits and Haidas of Southeast Alaska developed a spoken literature as robust and distinctive as their unique graphic art style, and passed it from the old to the young to ensure the continuity of their culture. Even today when the people gather, now under lamplight rather than the flickering glow from the central fire pit, the ancient myths and legends are told and retold, and they still reinforce the unity of the lineage, and clan and the culture. "Mary Beck opens this collection of legends by setting the tradition scene: ‘…It will be a time of feasting, singing, and dancing, of honoring lineages and of telling ancestral stories.’ In this small, beautifully produced volume, enhanced by the wonderful illustrations by Nancy DeWitt, Becks tells nine traditional ancient myths and legends from the oral literature that are authentic for one group or another from this region, including Fog Woman, Volcano Woman, Bear Mother and The Boy Who Fed Eagles." - Bill Hunt Anchorage Daily News

Here's all the Native American myths and legends--presented in a single volume! Spanning the vast land mass from the inhospitable Arctic ice flows in the north to the warm Caribbean sands and tropical Amazon rain forest, to the harsh, windswept Tierra del Fuego in the south, the lore of the inhabitants is as rich and varied as the landscapes they inhabit. In over 1,500 detailed entries, from the mysterious Mayan god Ab Kin Xoc to Zuyua (also Mayan), from the Pawnee fertility ritual known as Hako to the origins of the Alaskan Inuit (or "genuine people"), you'll find it all. People, places, artifacts, and a wealth of historical treasures present a fully dimensional view of these ancient traditions, as well as the cultures from which they came. Pick up this fascinating "dictionary-style" reference to look up the meaning of Aba, and you're not likely to put it down until you reach the Z's. 304 pages, 6 x 9 1/4.

During the long cold winter nights, Inuit families snuggled together in their winter houses and listened to tales about a time when unbelievable things could happen. These adventurers broke up the long hours of winter darkness and gave the listeners a cultural and traditional heritage. Each chapter is followed by a Question and Answer section which covers themes, symbols, and characters; and an Expert Commentary section, which makes for great discussion.
