- Nine visits to the mythworld
- "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, Introduction: The Blind Poet of Sunshine and Sealion Town -- The Way the Weather Chose to Be Born -- Spirit Being Living in the Little Finger -- In His Father's Village, Someone Was Just About to Go Out Hunting Birds -- The Sealion Hunter -- The Myth of the One Who Got Rid of Nine of His Nephews -- Those Who Stay a Long Way Out to Sea -- Hlagwajiina and His Family -- The Names of Their Gambling Sticks -- A Red Feather -- Haida Spellingand Pronunciation, OCLC: 45144231
