{"product_id":"9781602233362","title":"Qanemcit Amllertut\/Many Stories to Tell: Tales of Humans and Animals from Southwest Alaska","description":"\u003cbr\u003eThis bilingual collection shares new translations of old stories recorded over the last four decades though interviews with Yup’ik elders from throughout southwest Alaska. Some are true \u003ci\u003equlirat\u003c\/i\u003e (traditional tales), while others are recent. Some are well known, like the adventures of the wily Raven, while others are rarely told. All are part of a great narrative tradition, shared and treasured by Yup’ik people into the present day.\u003cbr\u003e This is the first region-wide collection of traditional Yup’ik tales and stories from Southwest Alaska. The elders and translators who contributed to this collection embrace the great irony of oral traditions: that the best way to keep these stories is to give them away. By retelling these stories, they hope to create a future in which the Yup’ik view of the world will be both recognized and valued.","brand":"University of Alaska Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050724606192,"sku":"9781602233362","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781602233362_p0.jpg?v=1763824481","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781602233362","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
