Title: Nanaboju and the Bears [1 of 2]
Identifier(s): audio:9119; APSdigrec_0038; Series: 02; Recording Number: 06; Program Number: 01
Description: "A long myth describing the killing of Nanaboju's younger brother, Jibiabos, by bears in retaliation against Nanaboju for killing the bears' grandfather and devouring the meat. In this mythological time there was really no such thing as death, so that Nanaboju sees his brother again after the bears have killed him. Then follows a conversation between the two brothers in which it is decided that it is better for people and animals to die when they are killed and for their souls to follow the spirit path to the west because otherwise all nature would have to stay in mourning. Nanaboju commands his brother to blaze the the spirit path and to rule over the land of the dead in the west. Jibiabos leaves singing the mournful death chant."; Originally recorded on wire recorder in 1948 and transferred to reel-to-reel tape in 1949.
