Paddling to Where I Stand
$29.95
Agnes Alfred (c. 1890-1992) was one of the last great stroytellers of her generation. A nonłiterate "Qwiqwasutinuxw" noblewoman, she wove her narratives from myths, chants, historical accounts, and personal reminiscences. 'Paddling to Where I Stand' is her first-hand account of the most significant period of change she and her people experienced since first contact with Europeans, and her memoirs flow from her urgenly felt desire to pass on her knowledge to younger generations.
