Description
This book presents a unique account of crow charter stories by Tommy McGinty, a man from inland First Nations of northwestern Canada. McGinty’s use of language differs dramatically from recorded versions by women storytellers a generation older. A discussion on the issues involved in converting oral stories to written texts is also provided
