Summary
  • A collection of 49 Eskimo narrations forming part of the authentic oral traditions formerly passed on by village elders to succeeding generations are presented in a bilingual format of Yupik and English.

For use as an adult-level reading book, the material is presented in six sections of short stories ("A Grandson's Gratitude,""The Teakettle Ghost,""The First Eskimo War"); Eskimo history and customs ("How Children Received Their Names,""Getting Married in the Old Days,""About Dogsleds, Dancing, and War"); Eskimo family teachings and common sense ("Lessons From Our Elders,""Mother's Advice,""Homemade Remedies); Eskimo know-how ("Eskimo Recipes,""Training For Survival,""Melting the Winter Frost"); Yupik fables ("The Lonely Loon" and "The Fox and the Goose"); and myths and legends ("A Village Without Daylight,""The Forbidden Mountain,""The Man Who Drifted on Ice").
