BIRD
STORIES
FROM
SCAMMON BAY
1985
Hello.
The general theme of this year's Upward
Bound Program at Keggatmiut High School has been BIRDS. So as a consequence,
it seemed a natural part of the program to look into bird stories as
remembered and told by the elders of the village. To accomplish this
we did taped interviews in Yupik then brought them back, transcribed
and translated them, and finally edited and typed them for inclusion
in the pages that follow. We have added original stories and poems by
the students themselves and also the scripts of plays based on both the
old and new stories and performed during Cultural Heritage Day, a special
day held in November of the school year to celebrate the Yupik culture
of the village. Illustrations were added last and, presto!, here you
have it in front of you -
Of course, it wasn't as easy as it sounds
either for students or for teacher. Students had to learn interview techniques
that were appropriate for approaching the elders and they had to learn
new Yupik words and expressions in order to ask the questions to the
elders in the first place. Many of them had to learn better how to write
in Yup'ik so they could transcribe the interviews. The teacher had to
learn great patience. And we all had to use our imaginations in the most
creative way possible.
And, you know, we did just that, and we
hope you enjoy the product of our work.
