Abstract: "Nearly all of the poems in this volume are qqaygaang, narrative poems set in Haida myth time. One story, "The Names of Their Gambling Sticks," is a qqayaagaang, a storythat juxtaposes myth time and historical time and establishes a legendary basis for prerogatives of two Haida families. Each poem creatively enacts a myth in a way that illuminates and celebrates the traditional world of the Haidas and reveals Ghandl's own acute sense of the foibles and great potential of all human beings."--Jacket
