When Our Words Return: Writing, Hearing, and Remembering Oral Traditions of Alaska and the Yukon: The title When Our Words Return refers to the Yup'ik belief that seals, fish and other game are gifts that, when treated with respect, return to be hunted again. If oral traditions are recounted faithfully and respectfully they also will return to future generations. Drawing on the vibrant traditions of the North, this interdisciplinary collection examines issues such as collaboration, performance, interpretation, and how audience and context affect narratives, creating a dialogue between tradition bearers and their listeners, including those who record, write, and study such accounts.
