5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent resource for Dena'ina studies,
By "artworksalaska" (Kenai, Alaska) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Dena'ina Legacy: K'tl'egh'i Sukdu: The Collected Writings of Peter Kalifornsky (Paperback)
This is the collected writings of Peter Kalifornsky, a Dena'ina Athabascan elder who, in order to write the book, first had to study and help create the written version of the Dena'ina language, and then went about writing down all the stories of his cultural language of Dena'ina. Peter wrote the stories in Dena'ina first, and then translated the stories into English. The Dena'ina translation appears on the left pages and the English translation on the right pages. It covers the full spectrum of cosmology of the Dena'ina culture. A great resource for anyone interested in understanding about one of the most successful subsistence cultures ever on Earth.

I went searching for a book on the Dena'ina. This book has been extremely helpful towards my studies. I highly reccomend it for someone who wants to learn the stories. It has also helped me in learning the language. By the way I'm only a kid.

Kasilof and Kenai historical works,
By Jim Taylor (Soldotna, Alaska United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Dena'ina Legacy: K'tl'egh'i Sukdu: The Collected Writings of Peter Kalifornsky (Paperback)
One of the best resources for historical documentation of native life and folklore in the Kenai/Kasilof area. Historical photographs are included in the book from 1890-1920. A true classic in a special place on my bookshelf. I highly recommend this book to all students of Dena'ina and local history buffs.
