This book presents eighteen stories in Snohomish, a dialect of Lushootseed, the language of the Indigenous peoples who live in the Puget Sound basin, as told by the last generation to learn the language as its mother tongue. Many of these stories - or \u003ci\u003esyeyehub\u003c\/i\u003e - were recorded decades ago, but few were transcribed, and even fewer analyzed. Deep understanding of the structure and logic of these texts has eluded linguists. This landmark study provides this analysis, helping to ensure that the language will live on for future generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Beck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774823550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774823555\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.60d","brand":"David Beck","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926009544959,"sku":"9780774823555","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6d3f4aec-a798-4de6-aeac-a4a8a664be46.jpg?v=1681080665","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tellings-from-our-elders-david-beck-9780774823555","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
