| Scope and content | From introduction: "These two stories come from quite different sources. Grandma With Her Birch Bark Basket is a Chipewyan legend that came from the people of Fort Resolution. Mrs. F. Nataway told the story to her granddaughter, Mrs. Dora Unka. Ascended To The Moon is an Eskimo legend related by Helen Pownuk. The place of origin of this particular version is Eskimo Point, a small Keewatin settlement that is over a thousand miles to the north and east of Fort Resolution. In reading the two stories the reader may wish to consider the similarities and differences between them and to try and answer in his own mind the question: "How might stories like these have been passed around, among, and between groups of people?" Includes a map of the Fort Resolution-Eskimo Point area. | |
