Being in being : the collected works of Skaay of the Qquuna Qiighawaay

Skaay, (author.). Bringhurst, Robert (translator.).

Summary: "Being in Being contains three masterpieces by legendary Haida mythteller Skaay of the Qquuna Qiighawaay. The shortest recounts the high points of the legend of his family. The longest, Raven Travelling, is the most complex version of the story of the Raven ever recorded on the Northwest Coast. The third is The Qquuna Cycle, the largest and most complex literary work in any Native Canadian language. It is a poem of epic length and one of the true master- pieces of North American literature." -- goodreads.com
