A Tale of Two Shamans [Ga Sraagaa Sdang]

Canada: Theytus Books Ltd. / Haida Gwaii Museum at Qay'llnagaay. Very Good. 2001. First Edition. Paperback. 1894778014 . Nicely signed, without inscription, by Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas upon title page. "This story is a blend of accounts recorded at the turn of the last century in three of the once numerous dialects of the Haida language. This is a contemporary rendering of a worldview first expressed in different times and probably for different reasons. I am a Haida whose life experiences are probably very similar to that of your own. In many respects that greater distance between the first tellers of ga Sraagaa sdang and ourselves, makes us both readers." - [5].

A former library copy but the only visible evidence of this is a blank white sticker upon the half-title page.
