This review is from: Haa Tuwunaagu Yis, for Healing Our Spirit (Classics of Tlingit Oral Literature) (Paperback)

I am quite moved by this book. All the speeches give me pause as I am a Tlingit and what this book is about is a big part of the present Tlingit culture. Again, this book is a part of our Tlingit Literature class. I have the privelege of not just having the authors as the professors of the class but many Tlingit elders who either were present for some of the "potlatches" where the speeches were made or who knew the orators in the book.

This book is a great part of Tlingit culture, that can be shared with everyone. I'm not of Tlingit lineage, but even I get something out of this book. The stories give the reader a sense of what the Tlingit people cherish. And it also offers the student of Tlingit (which is my area of interest) some interesting reading material.
