About This Book

This volume presents translations of White Mountain Apache oral narratives recorded in their dialect, assembling creation and origin accounts, culture-bearing ceremonies, migration legends, animal tales, and trickster episodes. Texts include a detailed cosmogenic story of a maiden and the Sun that yields supernatural brothers who journey to meet their father with animal helpers, accounts of rites such as adolescence, deer and bear ceremonies, migrations, and varied episodes featuring figures who secure ceremonies, transform into animals, or confront cannibal beings. The work pairs narrative retellings with original texts and close, literal translations.
