Translator Robert Bringhurst is one of Canada's most respected poets and cultural historians ... Here he brings us 9 stories ... the finest offerings from one of the last of the traditional Haida First Nations, Indian, storytellers : Ghandl of the Qayahl Llaanas ... Ghandl was born about 1851 in a small Haida island community off the West Coast of British Columbia, north of Vancouver Island, in what were later named the Queen Charlotte Islands ... His world was devastated by waves of European disease, which wiped out over 90 percent of the Haidas, and robbed Ghandle of his sight .. He became a skilled listener, taking in the myths, legends, and everyday stories of his people ... Creatively adapting them, the blind storyteller became a master of his craft ... In the year 1900, American linguist John Swanton and his Haida colleague Henry Moody transcribed a number of Ghandl's narrative poems ... Nearly all of the poems in this volume are qqaygaang, narrative poems set in Haida myth time ... One story, "The Names of Their Gambling Sticks" , is a qqayaagaang, a story that juxtaposes myth time and historical time, and establishes a legendary basis for prerogatives of two Haida families ... Each poem creatively enacts a myth in a way that illuminates and celebrates the traditional world of the Haida, and reveals Ghandl's own acute sense of the foibles and great potential of all human beings ... Meticulously and sensitively translated and annotated by Robert Bringhurst, these stories have finally been given the attention they deserve ... includes : The Way the Weather Chose to be Born , Hlagwagiina and his Family, and more ...
