Vi Hilbert grew up when many of the old social patterns survived and everyone spoke the ancestral language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHaboo\u003c\/i\u003e, Hilbert's collection of thirty-three stories, features tales mostly set in the Myth Age, before the world transformed. Animals, plants, trees, and even rocks had human attributes. Prominent characters like Wolf, Salmon, and Changer and tricksters like Mink, Raven, and Coyote populate humorous, earthy stories that reflect foibles of human nature, convey serious moral instruction, and comically detail the unfortunate, even disastrous consequences of breaking taboos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeautifully redesigned and with a new foreword by Jill La Pointe, \u003ci\u003eHaboo\u003c\/i\u003e offers a vivid and invaluable resource for linguists, anthropologists, folklorists, future generations of Lushootseed-speaking people, and others interested in Native languages and cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eUpper Skagit tribal elder \u003cb\u003eVi taqʷsəblu Hilbert\u003c\/b\u003e (1918-2008) received a National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment of the Arts in 1994, taught language classes at the University of Washington, and cowrote the\u003ci\u003e Lushootseed Dictionary\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eThom Hess\u003c\/b\u003e (1936-2009) was a professor of linguistics at the University of Victoria. \u003cb\u003eJill tsisqʷux̌ʷal La Pointe\u003c\/b\u003e is director of Lushootseed Research and granddaughter of Vi taqʷsəblu Hilbert.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Washington Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50593540702482,"sku":"9780295746968","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_642f569a-c187-4d64-8eb6-ae757aaefb7c.jpg?v=1732117578","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/haboo-native-american-stories-from-puget-sound-9780295746968","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
