|
The rich oral traditions of the Athabaskan Indians from southwestern Oregon are showcased in these pages for the first time. The 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, greedy and ever elusive. The collection also includes the less familiar stories of Pitch Woman, Little Man, the unicorn-like Hollering-Like-a-Person, and other local figures.
