| Abstract | Nineteen songs sung at potlach activities to honor the dead have been transcribed and compiled to foster greater understanding and appreciation among Alaskan school children of the place of songs in the life of the Central Koyukon Athabaskans who believe that singing and dancing allow emotional release from the sadness of losing a loved one. The songs, never directly naming the deceased person, tell of how much the person is missed by his family and friends and of the good deeds the person did when he was alive. The songs fall into three basic types: (1) the mask dance songs, sung with the typical Eskimo words accompanied by the beating of the hand drum; (2) the washtub songs, to which the people dance around a peeled spruce pole moving a piece of calico up and down with their hands; and (3) the stick dance songs, sung only during the proper time at the Feast for the Dead. Each song is presented with lyrics in Athabaskan and English, a brief history of the subject of the song and its composer, and appropriate illustrations by Dinah Stephenson. Also included is a biographical sketch of Madeline Solomon, native Alaskan educator who assisted in compiling the songs. (NEC) |
