About this product

Product Information

Over uncounted generations the Tlingits and Haidas of Southeast Alaska developed a spoken literature as robust and distinctive as their unique graphic art style, and passed it from the old to the young to ensure the continuity of their culture. Even today when the people gather, now under lamplight rather than the flickering glow from the central fire pit, the ancient myths and legends are told and retold, and they still reinforce the unity of the lineage, and clan and the culture. Mary Beck has selected nine of the ancient myths and legends from the oral literature that are authentic for one group or another from this region.

Reviews
"Mary Beck opens this collection of legends by setting the tradition scene: 'â€¦It will be a time of feasting, singing, and dancing, of honoring lineages and of telling ancestral stories.' In this small, beautifully produced volume, enhanced by the wonderful illustrations by Nancy DeWitt, Becks tells nine traditional tales, including Fog Woman, Volcano Woman, Bear Mother and The Boy Who Fed Eagles." ---Bill Hunt, Anchorage Daily News, "Another excellent book is Mary Beck's Heroes & Heroines in Tlingit-Haida Legend. Beck tells some of the classic stories very well in a book that is also worthy of recognition for its attractive design." --- Alaska magazine, "Mary Beck's collection of legends from Tlingit and Haida folklore provides an excellent look at not only the mythology but the value and culture of these Southeast Alaska Natives." ---Jan O'Meara, Homer News

Very poorly organized
The stories are not written the way they would be spoken. The author is constantly skipping back and forth for back story and losing the flow of the tale. It is very repetitive as if the author is looking to fill pages with the same words twice.

heroa Legends and Heroines in Tlinget Haid
Interesting. I knew the author, from when I lived in Ketchikan in the 1950's. Just to add to my collection of Alaska Books about Alaska Natives.

Great Art and History reference.
This is a difficult to find book with a large amount of Haida history and information. Great reference for the collection.
