Downriver Indians' Legends.
Bennett, Ruth, Ed.; Exline, Jesse
Yurok Indian legends in Yurok Unifon text include English translations of the entire texts in order to produce fluent reading for English speakers and a continuous text for Yurok readers. Although corresponding sentences are numbered, translation is not word-for-word or sentence-for-sentence. The five stories refer to a time when animals could talk and people and animals could communicate. Story themes include romance, disputes, and family activities; stories typically end with an account of how something in nature came to be. Animals featured are fox, raccoon, sea gull, owl, and salmon. Pen and ink drawings by a Yurok illustrator supplement the handlettered text. (LFL)
