Born in 1922, Kenny Thomas Sr. has been a trapper, firefighter,
road builder, river-freight hauler, and soldier. Today he is a
respected elder and member of a northern Athabaskan tribal group
residing in Tanacross, Alaska. As a song and dance leader for the
Tanacross community, Thomas has been teaching village traditions at
an annual culture camp for more than twenty years. Over a
three-year period, folklorist Craig Mishler conducted a series of
interviews with Thomas about his life experiences. Crow Is My Boss
is the fascinating result of this collaboration. Written in a style
that reflects the dialogue between Thomas and Mishler, Crow Is My
Boss retains the authenticity of Thomas's voice, capturing his
honesty and humor. Thomas reveals biographical details, performs
and explains traditional folktales and the potlatch tradition, and
discusses ghosts and medicine people. One folktale is presented in
both English and Tanacross, Thomas's native language. A compelling
personal story, Crow Is My Boss provides insight into the
traditional and contemporary culture of Tanacross Athabaskans in
Alaska.
