The rich and varied oral tradition of this Native language family, one of the farthest-flung in North America, comes brilliantly to life in this remarkably broad sampling of Algonquian songs and stories from across the centuries. Ranging from the speech of an early unknown Algonquian to the famous Walam Olum hoax, from retranslations of classic stories to texts appearing here for the first time, these are tales written or told by Native storytellers, today as in the past, as well as oratory, oral history, and songs sung to this day."Algonquian literatureNorth AmericaAlgonquian mythologyNorth AmericaAlgonquian IndiansSongs and musicAlgonquian languagesTextsLegendsNorth AmericaNorth AmericaFolkloreAlgonquian literatureAlgonquian mythologyAlgonquian IndiansAlgonquian languagesLegends897/.3Swann Brian1936997MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911092915003321Algonquian spirit4688436UNINA
