About this book

A boy becomes a seal, a kayaker struggles through fog and wild water, and Raven guides the first people through a newly formed world. Clara Kern Bayliss gathers these northern folk tales into two groups, one from the central Arctic islands and the other from the Bering Strait region. Her preface identifies government ethnological reports as sources for many of the legends, while the stories combine everyday needs with sudden acts of magic.

Hunting, sewing warm clothing and finding food share the page with explanations of tears, mosquitoes and the patterns on fur garments. In the Raven tales, Man can visit a country in the sky and bring ideas back to earth. These short narratives offer readers a collection of origin stories and adventures in which animals, weather and human feelings help explain how the world took its familiar shape.
