The Alaska Native Language Center proudly announces its latest collection of Upper Tanana stories — Tx’exeey iin Naabia Niign xah nahilholgegn / Women tell stories about Northway. The bilingual stories illustrate the rapidly changing world of the Upper Tanana Dene in Northway. Avis Sam, Sherry Demit-Barnes and the late Darlene Northway tell traditional stories, relate historical events, share their memories and offer teachings for the young. The stories were translated into English by the storytellers and by Roy Sam and Rosa Lee Brewer. All the stories appear in both Upper Tanana and English.
The editors are Dr. Olga Lovick and Caleb D. Brucks. Lovick is a former post-doctoral fellow at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and is now a professor of linguistics at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. Brucks obtained his master’s degree from the University of Regina (Saskatchewan). The 263-page book, with the recordings, may be purchased from the ANLC at URL. The ANLC is part of the College of Rural and Community Development of the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
