I loved reading this Athabaskan Legend and especially appreciated Velma Wallis letting me know at the end of the book which parts of the story she either added or subtracted from her writing. I believe that she did a wonderful job in putting this oral legend on paper so that those that choose to know of these legends but are not a member of this culture can pick up this book and get a sense of the way life use to be! I greatly enjoyed my reading experience.
