The Eskimo storyteller
"Although more than twenty years have passed since it first appeared, nothing has come close to supplanting The Eskimo Storyteller: Folktales from Noatak, Alaska as an authoritative account of the narrative history of place and people in northwestern Alaska. Anthropologist Edwin S. Hall, Jr., provides in this text a careful and gracefully written compendium of the significant stories as they were known in the village of Noatak during the early 1960s, plus offering a full context for the stories and their tellers. Nationally known Alaska artist Claire Fejes provided illumination for the material with elegant line drawings, informed by her own time among the people of the Noatak."--BOOK JACKET.
