Abstract
This document consists of a series of nineteen Chipewyan texts, accompanied by grammatical notes, recorded by the author (Li) at Fort Chipewyan, Alberta, Canada, in the summer of 1928. The stories were transcribed phonetically and published with a translation from the narration of Francois Mandeville, a tri-lingual speaker of French, English and Chipewyan. The texts are largely mythological in nature, but several contain additional bits of ethnographic information pertinent to hunting and trapping, the preparation of hides, and warfare.
