Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Library-quality hardcover book with dust-jacket. This book of the Achan story cycle is the third 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 not only well respected as a story-keeper, but also as a storyteller.

The first five are 'tipâchimûna', stories that are reported accounts that the narrator heard and re-tells for his audience. The last story in this book is an 'âtiyûhkin', a traditional legend or myth, the tale of Achan and The Two Bear Cubs.…
