John Reed Swanton's versions of Haida stories, one of which I often teach

Which one?

"He who hunted birds in his father's village," because there is a version of that in Nine Visits to the Mythworld, Robert Bringhurst's translation, and so we can compare the two and talk about the transmission issues around the different versions. It was a little bit stilted this year, but often it's been a really lively and rich discussion.

That's really neat.

It was a little stilted this time around, but it's often a really great discussion and kind of a revelation to students.
