Reviews

Ewa Czaykowska-Higgins, University of Victoria:
As excellent examples of a specifically linguistic form of textual presentation, these volumes definitely achieve what they have set out to do. As such, they are not books that one would pick up simply to read the stories. Nevertheless, it is possible to discern that the stories are rich in teachings, [and] that they are beautifully told …

Crisca Bierwert, author of Brushed by Cedar, Living by the River: Coast Salish Figures of Power:
The scholarship is impeccable. The volume is essential to stimulating continued examination of the language and the challenges it raises for linguistic theory. It is also crucial as a resource to Lushootseed communities creating strategies for using the language.
