Kuihkwahchaw

Library-quality hardcover book with dust-jacket. This book of Wolverine "trickster" legends is the first collection in a series presented for reading in Naskapi and in English by the Naskapi Development Corporation. John Peastitute (1896 - 1981) was a Naskapi Elder who was not only well respected as a story-keeper, but also as a storyteller. His repertoire of both tipchimna (stories) and tiyhkinich (legends) was extensive, and his performances engaging. The tape recordings of his stories that have survived to be preserved, processed and studied are a precious legacy.
