Knygos aprašymas

Oral stories form a portal through which rich cultural and linguistic information is passed from generation to generation. The two volumes of Tellings from Our Elders present twenty-seven stories in the Skagit Valley dialects of Lushootseed, the language of the indigenous people of the southern and eastern shores of Puget Sound. These stories – or syeyehub – are told by the last generation to learn the language as its mother tongue, and in many cases were recorded decades ago. Now, they have been transcribed and analyzed by David Beck and Thom Hess, and are published with line-by-line interlinear glosses, to offer a deeper understanding of the structure and logic of the Lushootseed language. This collection opens a doorway to cultural knowledge, specialized vocabulary, and patterns of narrative stylistics typical of Coast Salish storytelling, and will help ensure that the language will live on for future generations.
