Legends of the Northern Paiute seems to me to be a true breakthrough, not only for the Paiute people, who have survived a lot of ugly Western history over two centuries, but in terms of our understanding and appreciation of Native American storytelling, our nation's oldest literature. Wewa's achievement here is to create a way of presenting his tales in print so that reading them seems like hearing them aloud, as they should be. -Jarold Ramsey, Agate IX
