AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a discussion of the roles of oral literature and storytelling in the transmission and continuity of Crow culture. It is argued that stories describe the world view of the Crow, and that storytellers, through language and technique, engage listeners in a participatory experience of the narrative.
