Description
by Zuboff (Retold by), Hope (Editor), Matthew Spellberg (Editor)
This newest volume in the Ex Horto series, Likoodzi Shkalneek Áyá / It's a Wonderful Story: Tlingit Oral History and Literature, features stories of an ancient migration over glaciers, cycles of legendary clan ancestors, and visionary journeys of shamans by Shaadaaxʼ Robert Zuboff (1893-1974), a master storyteller in the Tlingit language.
Led by Tlingit-Inupiaq poet and scholar Khaagwáask' Ishmael Hope, a team of scholars and Tlingit Elders have transcribed and translated these narratives that describe deep connections between land, lineage, culture, and history among the peoples of Lingít Aaní, what is now Southeast Alaska and the Yukon. The stories, presented in the original Tlingit with facing English translations, include: Deisheetaan Át Has Wuligas'i Yé / History of the Deisheetaan Migration, Ch'áak' Ḵoogáa Wusoowú / The Eagle of Good Fortune, Dukt'ootl', Kiks.ádi Shagóon / The Kiks.ádi Cycle, and Yayshadzeit. Rich with Indigenous placenames, cultural knowledge, and vivid language, this collection honors one of the great oral literary artists of the twentieth century.Care
