Myths and Legends of Alaska

Rate this book
Editor Katharine Berry Judson collates and presents a narrative history of Alaskan Myths. Originally gathered and recorded by government ethnologists, she paints an overall picture of Alaskan history as told by its many tribes. From the Eskimo to the Tlingit, from the Tsetsaut to the Haida, the origin of the still-wild state begins with the great Bird (often called "Raven") and branches out, through its legends, in wonderful and amazing directions.

Men emerging from pods, a raven creating the world, a flood myth, this was brilliant and beautiful too. I loved the metaphors and stories woven to explain our world and place in it. This was a short read, but absolutely worth it.
