Book News Annotation:

In 1935, Frederica De Laguna (emerita, anthropology, Bryn Mawr College) visited Native villages in the middle and lower Yukon River valley as part of a larger archaeological expedition. Together with her assistant, she recorded in handwriting a number of Alaskan Indian tales. This volume presents 41 tales transcribed from the narrators' own words. Introductory chapters provide background information on Dena culture and religion. Woodcut engravings by Alaska artist Dale DeArmond illustrate the stories.
