Forty-one Alaskan Indian tales, transcribed in 1935 from the narrators' own words, are included in this collection beautifully illustrated with wood engravings by Alaska artist Dale DeArmond. The exploits of the roguish Crow and the intrepid Man Who Traveled Among All the Animals and People range from serious myths to slyly humorous misadventures.

4.0 out of 5 stars
excellent athabaskan book,
By Jeremy Chambers (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales from the Dena: Indian Stories from the Tanana, Koyukuk, & Yukon Rivers (Paperback)
this book is a great collection of stories that are hard to find. to get these stories any other way would to know elders in interior alaska and listen to them. i grew up in nenana and the only time i heard these stories was at ceremonies. anyone interested in alaskan folklore, or life and culture of the athabaskan people should get this book. you will not be disappointed.
