Canadian storyteller and folklorist Van Deusen presents 25 Chukchi and Yupik tales and legends she has collected from those peoples, who live in the easternmost part of Siberia. The stories have traditionally been used to pass values, beliefs, history, and worldview down the generations. Native culture there is now experiencing a resurgence in the wake of Soviet assimilation forces.
