{"product_id":"achan-john-peastitute-9781312780378","title":"Achan: Naskapi Giant Stories","description":"Library-quality hardcover book with dust-jacket. This book of the Achan story cycle is the third book in a series prepared for reading in Naskapi and in English by the Naskapi Development Corporation. John Peastitute (1896-1981) was a Naskapi Elder who was not only well respected as a story-keeper, but also as a storyteller. His repertoire of both tip稍him甁a (stories) and 穰iy琪kinich (legends) was extensive, and his performances engaging. The tape recordings of his stories that have survived to be preserved, processed and studied are a precious legacy. The Achan stories stories describe a fearsome monster, a cannibal-giant. The accounts in this book are a collection of stories of encounters and interactions with these creatures. The first five are \"tip稍him甁a\", stories that are reported accounts that the narrator heard and re-tells for his audience. The last story in this book is an \"穰iy琪kin\", a traditional legend or myth, the tale of Achan and The Two Bear Cubs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Peastitute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1312780371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781312780378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/23\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"John Peastitute","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44138741989631,"sku":"9781312780378","price":26.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4c5bf368-6a86-4de6-93b4-7a482c8d129d.jpg?v=1687901231","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/achan-john-peastitute-9781312780378","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
