oratory

Nora Marks Dauenhauer reads Tlingit oratories from Haa Tuwunáagu Yís, for Healing Our Spirit: Tlingit Oratory (1990), along with selected poems from The Droning Shaman (1988) and Life Woven with Song (2000).

Richard and Nora Marks Dauenhauer read from their English translations of Tlingit poems and stories, providing fascinating explanations of the traditions behind the literature. They read first the original Tlingit and then the English translations. They conclude by reading from their own original poems.
