Series Statement:
Native literatures of the Americas
Content:
The rich oral traditions of the Athabaskan Indians from southwestern Oregon are showcased in these pages for the first time. This volume features vivid and humorous tales of familiar Tricksters: Coyote, known for his unusual sexual prowess and escapades that often go awry; the vain and gullible Grizzly Bear; and Raccoon, often greedy and ever elusive. The collection also includes the less familiar but all-too-human stories of Pitch Woman, Little Man, the unicorn-like Hollering-Like-a-Person, and other local figures, all of which add to the wealth of Native oral literature in the Pacific Northwest
Content:
Introduction -- An Upper Coquille Athabaskan cultural sketch -- Features of style and performance in Coquelle Thompson's storytelling -- Analyses of four stories -- Oral traditional texts
Note:
Includes bibliographical references (pages 299-305) and index
