Life Lived Like A Story by Julie Cruikshank in Collaboration with Annie Ned, Angela Sidney, Kitty Smith
The life stories appearing in this volume come from communities where storytelling provides a customary framework for discussing the past. Angela Sidney, Kitty Smith and Annie Ned are three remarkable and gifted women of Athapaskan and Tlingit ancestry who was born in the southern Yukon Territory around the turn of the century. Their life stories tell us as much about the present as about the past, as much about ideas of the community as about individual experience; they call our attention to the diverse ways humans formulate such linkages.
