New Recordings of Native American Legends Now Available!

Northwest Heritage Resources is pleased to announce the release of three
new published recordings of Northwest Native American legends.  The
recordings feature traditional Native stories and legends as told by three
Native elders from three different Washington tribes:
1) Virginia Beavert – Yakama
2) Curtis DuPuis – Chehalis
3) Elaine Grinnell – Jamestown S’Klallam.

Virginia Beavert’s bi-lingual recording, Tiinmamí Timnánxt, has the
distinction of being one of only two known published recordings in the
Sahaptin language. She recorded versions of the same legends in both
English and Sahaptin and is currently using her recordings to help teach
and preserve the Sahaptin language.

For more information about the Native American Stories of Washington
project or how to order the recordings,

Many thanks,

Jill Linzee
