Extract

Andrew Cowell and Alonzo Moss, Sr. (eds.), Arapaho historical traditions told by Paul Moss. (Publications of the Algonquian Text Society.) Winnipeg: University of Manitoba Press, 2005. Pp. viii, 531. Pb $48.00.

This volume gathers 12 oral narratives originally told by Paul Moss (1911–1995), recorded by his son Alonzo Moss, and later transcribed and translated by Alonzo Moss and Andrew Cowell. Some of the stories were originally told to an audience of elders of the Northern Arapaho Tribe, to which Paul Moss belonged, and others to high school students, not all of whom understood Arapaho. Significantly, the audiences were in all cases composed exclusively of Arapahos.
