Description:
Glendo, Wyoming : High Plains Publishing, 1994. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a lightly worn dust jacket, 244 pages. An incorrigible trickster, a clever thief, a rogue, sometimes a magnanimous hero, often a vengeful loser, but always a survivor, Coyote is the most complex character in the Nez Perce cycle of traditional myths. An anthropological analysis of Coyote's social relations with the other characters reveals how the myths, while entertaining stories, also impart traditional cultural values, proper social relations, and other practical information. Coyote's actions are often humorous, with consequences that account for many of the blessings and hardships of the Nez Perce experience. These translations from the native language are the most reliable and the most comprehensive available. Supplemented by myths from Archie Phinney and Herbert Spinden, Deward Walker's collection provides insights into the world and the myths of the Nez Perce Indians. Record # 371862

Glendo, Wyoming (USA): High Plains Publishing Company, 1994. FIRST EDITION. Hardcover. NEAR FINE IN FINE DUST JACKET. Marc Seahmer. INSCRIBED/SIGNED by author on dedication page. This collection is translated from the native language, and is based on collections by Haruo Aoki, Deward E. Walker, Jr., Archie Phinney, and Herbert Spinden. It is argued here that Nez Perce myth "conforms largely to its own rules...", is "overwhelmingly conservative, [reflecting] few of the massive changes that have taken place in Nez Perce culture over the last several centuries, and may be viewed primarily as an accumulation of archaic elements and patterns from prehistoric times..."
