Description
Library-quality hardcover book with dust-jacket. This book is a collection of short stories in Naskapi that features the "historical account" traditional Algonquian storytelling genre, tipâchimûna (stories). It features some eyewitness accounts of tragic and exciting events on the land, as well as a first-person account of the storyteller's own adventures and skill as a hunter and provider. This is the fifth book in a series prepared for reading in Naskapi and in English by the Naskapi Development Corporation. John Peastitute (1896-1981) was a Naskapi Elder who was a well respected as a story-keeper and storyteller. His repertoire of both tipâchimûna and âtiyûhkinich was extensive, and his performances engaging. The tape recordings of his stories that have survived to be preserved, processed and studied are a precious legacy. The "Caught in a Blizzard" collection is the beginning of a series of true historical accounts of Naskapi life by a Naskapi speaker.
