Carry Forth the Stories: An Ethnographer's Journey Into Native Oral Tradition, Paperback/Rodney Frey

Descriere

Seasoned anthropologist/ethnographer Rodney Frey offers personal and professional insights into the power and value of storytelling gleaned from over forty years of successful work with indigenous peoples. He addresses permissions and cultural property rights, tribal review, "giving back," and indigenous learning styles, perspectives, and knowledge. Learning from his hosts and striving to engage in collaborative, applied, ethical-based research, writing, and classroom pedagogy, his experiences present a model for connecting with tribal groups. Frey intertwines stories from interviews, oral histories, and elders, and shares facets of his own cancer journey seeking help from both Native and Western healing traditions.
