How Raven Got His Crooked Nose: An Alaskan Dena' ina Fable

Barbara J. Atwater, Ethan J. Atwater

While a Dena'ina girl and her grandmother gather berries and prepare salmon, the grandmother tells how Chulyen, Raven, came to have a crooked nose. Raven loses his nose, while Chida, a grandmother, finds it and uses it as a useful scraping tool. When Raven discovers where it is, he devises a way to take it back. The worn nose is put on in haste and remains crooked. Dena'ina words appear throughout, with pronunciation help and a glossary.
