Anotace knihy

Before it was written, this book was spoken. For ten winter days in 1977, the orator Paul John - widely respected as a dean of Yupik elders and recognized for his tireless advocacy of Yupik language and traditions - held an audience of Yupik students rapt at Nelson Island High School in southwest Alaska. Now, more than a quarter-century after Paul John's extraordinary performance, his words have been brought back to life, and to a new audience. This book records one elder's attempt to create a moral universe for future generations through stories about the special knowledge of the Yupik people. Tales both authentically Yupik and marked by Paul John's own unique innovations are presented in a bilingual edition, with Yupik and English text presented on facing pages.As Paul John says, "In this whole world, whoever we are, if people speak using their own language, they will be presenting their identity and it will be their strength." Paul John was among the last to receive a traditional Yupik education, spending his childhood in the communal men's house, where he heard constant recitations of Yupik tales and personal experiences. In 2002 he received the Alaska Governor's Award as Distinguished Humanities Educator. Sophie Shield is an accomplished translator and educator working for the Bilingual Department of the Lower Kuskokwim School District in Bethel, Alaska. Ann Fienup-Riordan is an anthropologist and author of numerous books on the peoples of Alaska, including "The Living Tradition of Yup'ik Masks", "Agayuliyararput: Our Way of Making Prayer", and "Freeze Frame: Alaska Eskimos in the Movies".
