Marianna Bunger, Associate Director of the EPDA Institute and specialist in children’s literature, also shared significantly in its development.
Margritt Engel of the EPDA faculty led the section on Eskimo literature and was especially responsible for supervising most of the projects represented in this volume. The present collection does not achieve all these objectives, but it does preserve stories that otherwise might be lost and suggests the urgen¬ cy of preserving other similar literature of a precious Alaskan cultural heritage. There is, moreover, a great need for such stories to be published both in English and in various major Eskimo dialects (with accom¬ panying tapes) for use in the bilingual class¬ room. Much excellent material is poorly printed and some is miserably illustrated. Unfortunately, there is as yet a dire lack of attractively printed and illustrated books of Native legends for leisure reading, particularly for primary school children.
