Description:
<B>A singular collection of stories published in Tsuut&#39;ina, a critically endangered language</B><BR /><BR /> With fewer than 20 speakers, Tsuut&rsquo;ina is a critically endangered language. <I>Is&uacute;h &Aacute;n&iacute;i / As Grandmother Said </I>brings together nine traditional narratives and historical accounts in the Tsuut&rsquo;ina language, originally narrated by Elders D&aacute;t&#322;&rsquo;&igrave;sh&iacute; Ts&rsquo;&igrave;k&aacute; Bessie Meguinis (1883&ndash;1987) and Nin&agrave;gh&aacute; Ts&igrave;t&#322;&rsquo;&aacute; Willie Little Bear (1912&ndash;1989). At once an act of language preservation and a learning resource, each story is retold in Tsuut&rsquo;ina by Dit&rsquo;&oacute;n&iacute; Didl&iacute;sh&iacute; Dr. Bruce Starlight and is presented with English translations and a Tsuut&rsquo;ina-to-English glossary.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> The narratives included in this collection cover considerable ground, ranging from the creation of the world in the caring hands of X&agrave;l&iacute;tsa-tsii and his animal helpers, to accounts of separation, migration, and cross-cultural contact that mark major turning points in Tsuut&rsquo;ina history, and to important cultural and ceremonial items and practices that the Tsuut&rsquo;ina Nation maintains to this day.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> These stories will be of lasting value to Tsuut&rsquo;ina language learners and teachers, and will share the legacy of Elders Bessie Meguinis and Willie Little Bear with generations of Tsuut&rsquo;ina to come.
