This volume introduces the oral literature of Native American peoples in Puget Salish speaking areas of western Washington. Seven stories told by Lushootseed elders are transcribed and translated into English, accompanied by information on narrative design and cultural background. Upper Skagit elder and cotranslator Vi Hilbert, a 1994 recipient of the NEH National Heritage Fellowship in Folk Arts, includes a cultural welcome and offers childhood reminiscences of the storytellers. Cotranslator Thomas M. Hess, associate professor of linguistics at the University of Victoria, parses the beginning lines of a text to show the grammatical structures; he also includes his recollections of working with the storytellers in the 1960s as a graduate student. Editor and cotranslator Crisca Bierwert, assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan, provides information on the processes of language translation and of rendering oral traditions into written form. Annotator T. C. S. Langen, who holds a Ph.D. in English literature and is a curriculum developer for the Tulalip tribe, provides analyses of Lushootseed poetics. The book includes information about purchasing audiotapes of the stories."

Season Well and It Still Might Not Work
Humidor was seasoned, per the instructions (and more). Yet it will not keep humidity above 60%. It appears the seal/gap is to wide because of the hinge placement. They need to be recessed a bit to create a tighter seal. I have 15 cigars in this box, plus a Boveda 69% 60gram package. Max humidity is 60%.

Impressive Gift
Size: L ( Fits 25-50 Cigars), Size: L ( Fits 25-50 Cigars)
We had another humidor that didn’t have a humidity gauge. Found out that even in high humidity Houston we were not storing our cigars at a high enough humidity. This is a very well-made, sturdy humidor. (Our old one pales in comparison and I thought it was nice!) You open it up and the smell often the wood is just lovely. We often buy Cubans while abroad, and go a long time in between using them. We are not going to take a chance with them now. We will only use this. Perfect for a gift for your cigar aficionado. I think this box is a good value for the money and you will preserve your cigars much better with a digital readout.

That the unit is not air tight as stated!
Size: L ( Fits 25-50 Cigars)
It is stated that it has tongue and groove lip and will easily pass the dollar bill test, but it will not!!
