Title

Dena'ina Stories -- published

Description:

Newspaper clippings.

Peter Kalifornsky is a Denaina writer from Kenai. Katherine McNamara is a poet living in Fairbanks. In 1985, the two began working together on a book of Kalifornsky's stories to be called "from the First Beginning when the Animals were Talking." The work is a collaboration. Kalifornsky has written more than 75 stories, narratives and songs. He works with McNamara in English, giving word-for-word translations from his language and explaining the meanings behind the stories. McNamara is then responsible for the finished English versions of the stories [from the article].

The two stories included here are:

Mouse story -- K'ela Sukdu

Three Men is Search of Truth -- Tuq'ina Lach'q'u Niltu

Citation

Heartland magazine IN: Fairbanks daily news-miner 1987, (August 16, 1987) pp. H-12-H-13.
