About This Item
[Manokotak, Alaska], 1985. Soft cover. Very Good. Revised edition, 1985. Card covers. Non-sliding binding bar over staple-stiching. Covers show light handling. Interior is clean and unmarked. 37 pages. 11 x 8.5 inches. Rare. Two copies located on OCLC (Alaska Native Language Archive, Anchorage School District). Rare. The folk legend of ''How the Porcupine Received Its Weapon'' was told by an elder resident of Manokotak, Alaska. It was recorded by the Yup'ik Literacy class at Manokotak High School in 1982 with the instructor Anecia Lomack. The original Yup'ik is presented side-by-side with the Englsih translation. The final page provides five bars of musical notation for the song ''Qaillun Issaluum Saskungellra.'' As stated, every word was written down exactly as said by the narrator. His language was the genuine, classic Yup'ik, a style which today very few Yup'iks speak or even understand. The students involved in this project were Margaret Evon, Marvin Nicketa, Kenneth Nukwak, Ray Alec Manalook, and Pauline Gamechuk.
