Right now I hope that I'll be able to get Yupik Lore, Oral Traditions of an Eskimo People by Tennant and Bitar to my hands. Not so that I could buy it, the last time I checked it was way too expensive for me, but because I saw in another book a piece of a story from this book and because I'd like to be able to read the rest of it.Minnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150644876765079753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14505413.post-67204325931945835112007-04-02T13:34:00.000-05:002007-04-02T13:34:00.000-05:00Minna, are these folktale "books" that you collect...Minna, are these folktale "books" that you collect?Cheryl St.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00947267011326863581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14505413.post-55882271326094922522007-04-02T13:33:00.000-05:002007-04-02T13:33:00.000-05:00Shiny Brite are Christmas ornaments.

There is especially one tale and it's different variations I'm always looking for. It's about how bear lost his tail.
