Description
‘The world is a collection of stories’, Dr Angelo Baca, from the Introduction
An enthralling anthology of 74 origin myths, sacred wisdom and powerful beliefs in stories celebrating the centuries-old values and culture of many Native American peoples. Mixing animal stories, heroic adventures, monstrous and supernatural encounters, alongside romance and family sagas. From ‘The Beaver Medicine Legend’, ‘Snowbird and the Water-Tiger’ and ‘Why the Turkey Gobbles’; to ‘The Legend of Hiawatha’, ‘White Feather and the Six Giants’, and ‘The Woman of Stone’: carefully selected and edited by Dr. Angelo Baca, a Navajo and Hopi filmmaker and scholar, the stories draw upon the ancient oral traditional and 19th century sources which collected and recorded the tales. Smartly presented with a foil-stamped and embossed cover, ribbon marker and metallic-page edges, the book is a truly tactile source of timeless imagination and wisdom.

Very beautifully produced although the print in very small. Nonetheless I am sure my half Native Indian friend will be delighted when she receives it as a gift later this year.
