The Complete Seymour : Colville Storyteller Hardback
by Peter J. Seymour
Edited by Anthony Mattina, Madeline DeSautel
Part of the Native Literatures of the Americas and Indigenous World Literatures series
Hardback
Description
Peter J. Seymour was a Salish storyteller. He carried forward earlier tales of elders along with his own experiences as fewer and fewer native speakers were sharing the Colville-Okanagan language and oral literature.
To thwart the demise of this language, over the course of a decade he passed along Salish stories not only to his family but also to linguist Anthony Mattina. The Complete Seymour: Colville Storyteller includes Seymour’s tales collected in the late 1960s and early 1970s, before his death.
It documents Seymour’s rich storytelling and includes detailed morphological analyses and translations of this endangered language.
This collection is an important addition to the canon of Native American narratives and literature and an essential volume for anyone studying Salish languages and linguistics.
