Lushootseed Texts - An Introduction to Puget Salish Narrative Aesthetics

Klappentext An introduction to Puget Salish narrative Aesthetics: Studies in the Anthropology of North American Indians: The seven stories comprising this volume, told by Martha Lamont, Edward (Hagen) Sam, and Emma Conrad, exemplify the diversity of Lushootseed oral literature and of Lushootseed storytellers. Some are humorous; some are intensely serious; most of the narratives move among moments that can be taken lightly and others that are laden with significance. Zusammenfassung Introduces the oral literature of Native American peoples in Puget Salish-speaking areas of western Washington. This work provides information on the processes of language translation and of rendering oral traditions into written form.
